About 300000 girls and women between the ages of 6-24 from tribal belts of India have been trafficked and forced into work. These girls are vulnerable to physical, emotional and sexual abuse. Spreading awareness about trafficking and migration is not solving the problem. We need to campaign and intervene at source levels finding alternative measures. We are implementing a project in Jharkhand, Chattisgarh, Orissa , North East; Megalaya, Mizoram, Manipur , Assam, Mumbai, Bihar, UP and Delhi.
