By Free a Girl and Freedom Firm | -
Free a Girl aims to fight child prostitution in India amongst other countries. Our local partner Freedom Firm is working throughout Maharashtra tirelessly. In the last 6 months, your support has enabled 5 successful raids to be conducted, particularly in Nagpur, where 47 girls were rescued as well as a mass raid in which 92 women and 3 girls were rescued. The mass raid was done in collaboration with the local police, who actually approached the team for assistance in carrying out the raid. Police initiating and getting involved in interventions creates a deterrent against child prostitution and is a very positive outcome. In addition, legal aid has also been provided to these rescued girls where staff supported them in 34 court hearings in the first six months of the year. These girls have also been supported with vocational training, counselling sessions and life skills classes in a government home. We thank you for your help in this fight!
