Project Context
Trafficking of women and girls to brothels is one of the worst forms of violence against women. Trafficking victims are usually deceived and once inside the prostitution ring, they are beaten up, forced to have sex and made to live in dirty conditions. It is a serious violation of human rights. To address this problem, it is necessary to identify such cases of trafficking and rescue women and ensure the creation of sustainable livelihoods for them to prevent their return to trafficking.
