In Kolkata's red-light districts, girls face daily risks of violence and exploitation. Aura Freedom, in partnership with grassroots organisation New Light , supports them through Soma Home-a safe, nurturing space offering housing, education, and trauma-informed care. Girls aged 8-18 find stability, healing, and the chance to thrive. With your support, they break cycles of abuse and become empowered leaders. Help build futures rooted in dignity, safety, and hope.
Girls living in Kolkata's red-light districts face daily risks of gender-based violence, child marriage, sexual exploitation, and human trafficking. Limited access to education, healthcare, and safe housing makes it difficult to break these cycles of abuse. Many girls grow up in environments where their rights, safety, and futures are consistently threatened.
Empowering the Future offers a safe, nurturing home where girls aged 8-18 receive trauma-informed care, education, healthcare, and life skills. Through Soma Home, Aura Freedom and New Light provide holistic support, allowing girls to heal, grow, and access opportunities. With consent from families, girls are given a stable environment where they can rebuild their lives and shape their own futures.
By supporting and educating girls, the project breaks cycles of violence and poverty. Empowered girls become confident, self-reliant leaders who uplift their families and communities. Over time, this leads to stronger, safer communities with reduced rates of trafficking and gender-based violence. The project not only transforms lives-it creates lasting, generational change.
