Save runaway girls from human trafficking

It's a common assumption that leaving an abusive marriage is the end of the pain for the victim. However, the truth is that it's just the beginning of a long and difficult journey towards healing.

Lavanya, who was raised in institutions, married the love of her life with high hopes for a happy future and a secure family. Unfortunately, she soon became the target of emotional and physical abuse from her husband. Fearing for her child's and her own safety, she turned to the shelter that exists thanks to your generous donations.

Letting go of the relationship wasn't easy for her, and she is still fighting for her divorce as her partner refuses to acknowledge the need for separation. Despite this, Lavanya has discovered healthy coping mechanisms to deal with the emotional trauma she has endured. She has channeled her energy into learning martial arts, which has helped her become stronger both physically and emotionally.

Lavanya's journey towards healing hasn't been easy. Recovering from domestic abuse takes time, patience, and a strong support system. The shelter has played a pivotal role in her journey by providing her with safe space, counseling, and legal aid.

Lavanya has taken advantage of these resources to rebuild her life and create a better future for herself and her child. 

Through her journey, Lavanya has learned that she is not alone. Domestic abuse affects millions of women worldwide, and it's important to break the silence and speak out against it.

Lavanya has become an advocate for women's rights and has shared her story to inspire others to seek help and break free from abusive relationships.

Lavanya's journey is far from over, but she has come a long way. With your support, she is determined to continue her healing process and create a brighter future for herself and her child.

Did you know that your support of this project doesn’t just help runaway girls? It also helps girls and young women who may be vulnerable to human trafficking and exploitation. 

Take for example, Rajathi, whose real name we have protected. At the age of just 16, Rajathi was sexually assaulted. Now aged 19, she remains both physically and emotionally scarred. With the help of Prerana, a local NGO,Rajathi sought justice under The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act (POSCO). 

Progress has been slow. The case is ongoing and only adds to the distress and trauma she has already experienced. Prerana works closely with this project, and when Rajathi turned 18, she became involved in our activities. 

Rajathi’s dream for a long time has been to enter entertainment. Acting, singing, and performing helps give her confidence. In the project, Rajathi particularly enjoys debating and engaging with all activities relating to civil and constitutional rights.  

Rajathi is a confident and engaging speaker. The activities and added confidence have inspired her to enrol in college. Thanks to your ongoing support, you are helping Rajathi rebuild her confidence after the most traumatic of events and to edge closer to her dream. Thank you.
