We rescue individuals from all kinds of trafficking like forced marriage, prostitution, bride trafficking, child labor, etc. The rescue operation begins with a tipoff from the informer on the ground, followed by a survey of the area. Then, we coordinate with stakeholders like police stations and social welfare departments. Following the rescue, we inform the survivor’s family to come and take the survivor home.
will help us conduct such an operation. The amount will help book the train/bus tickets for the 2-member rescue team, their food and accommodation, and the local conveyance expenses incurred during the operation. This amount will also provide for first aid and some food for the survivor and cover the travel expenses of the survivor’s family to take the survivor home.
We periodically conduct outreach campaigns, awareness workshops, and training sessions at the village panchayats in the source areas, educational institutions nationwide, and at significant transit points like railway and bus stations. The target audience includes village people, students, transport workers and officials, and law enforcement agencies. They are made aware of issues like human trafficking, domestic violence, gender discrimination, child marriage, and bonded labor.
Each outreach session is a one-day event and aims to educate the audience on human trafficking laws, the importance of creating anti-trafficking clubs and village response committees, the impact social media has on children and adults, and how victims get transported across state lines. The session includes street plays and skits in local languages to portray different scenarios where a child or an adult can get lured, trafficked, and then employed into various forms of modern-day slavery. The size of the audience can range between 100-500.
We operate multiple safe spaces across different states for female survivors of human trafficking and at-risk women living in trafficking-prone areas. More often than not, the survivors find it difficult to reintegrate into society due to the taboo associated with getting trafficked. Similarly, at-risk women remain stuck in the toxic and dangerous environment at their homes owing to domestic violence, alcoholism, and poverty in general. The safe spaces help the survivors cope with the trauma they had been in and provide the at-risk women a refuge from the vulnerable situations at their homes. We also provide counseling and healing therapies for these women and legal aid to get justice and victim compensation for the survivors.
Having ensured their physical and psychological safety, we subsequently work on teaching these women vocational skills. Each of our safe spaces conducts a one-year residential skill development course, teaching skills like stitching, knitting, primary computer education, and English classes. Study tours and workshops on gender issues, budgeting, laws, and problem-solving follow these classes. Once they finish the course, the residents receive a certificate, a stitching machine, and seed money to start their ventures.
A contribution of INR 4,000 will pay for a month for a resident’s meals, hygiene kits, training expenses, and legal and counseling expenses.

Dropouts are a common problem in India, and it is prevalent among children hailing from underprivileged backgrounds. The combination of not having basic education and abject poverty make them easy targets of traffickers and drug peddlers. Even worse, some of these children may themselves take up a life of crime. Most of these children come from either migrant laborer families, reside in tribal areas, or constitute the urban poor.
We strive to ensure that more such children get inducted into our study centers for a year, where we rekindle their interest in studying through various interactive methods and then re-enroll them in local government schools.
A contribution of INR 15,000 will help us run a study center for a month and pay for the rent, teachers’ salaries, and stationery items.
We believe in empowering survivors. A very effective way to do this is to provide them with higher education. Education will give them the awareness and agency to make decisions and help them achieve financial independence.
A contribution of INR 10,000 will help us get a survivor admission to a school or college, buy books and stationery, and pay tuition and examination fees.
We have created a general fund to help us cover expenses not specific to a particular project, cause, or issue. This fund allows us to cover essential costs to run the organization, like administrative expenses and overheads. It will also help us tackle unexpected expenses and emergencies.
