This year, already 35 girls have been rescued from the horrific circumstances of commercial sexual exploitation in India by Free a Girl and her partner organizations based in India.
2 Rescue reports
In February, our partner organization rescued Kani*. She is a 15-year-old girl who was forced into prostitution. She was rescued by the investigators of our partner organization and the local police in Central Maharashtra. She was trafficked from the North of India.The brothel keeper and another trafficker were arrested by the local police.
Another girl, Nilam*, was rescued. She is 17 years old and from Bangladesh. She was trafficked all the way to Maharashtra, India. Our partner organization partnered up with another anti-trafficking organization to conduct the rescue.
Our partner organizations had tried to rescue her also already another time. This raid had unfortunately failed because the brothel owners were warned by someone about the planned raid and therefore had transferred the girls to another location. Finally, during a raid in 2019, using a decoy consumer, she was rescued. The brothel owner is arrested. The girls are now safe at a shelter home. Here, they receive the psycho-social and medical care that they need. They get the opportunity to go to school and build on a brighter future.
* Different names were used in order to protect the girls.
