We are writing to let you know that we have just rescued a 13-year-old girl and brought her to the safety of Marigold House. She had been working in a hotel for the past few months, waking early to clean rooms and wash dishes. When she finished work, the hotel owner sent her to guests' rooms where she was subjected to sexual abuse and taken to dance bars.
The hotel owner repeatedly threatened her, saying that no one would believe her story and, even if they did, she would be shunned by society. Scared and trapped, she felt unable to tell anyone what was happening to her. Fortunately an outreach worker from our partner, Shakti Samuha, spotted her and was able to facilitate a fast rescue.
The girl was extremely traumatised when she arrived at Marigold House, and so our experienced staff have been caring for her needs. We will continue to support her long-term recovery.
Thank you for belief in our work. It's only because of people like you that we are able to save lives.
