Not For Sale: Rescuing Victims of HumanTrafficking

Introduction

The Project outlines the work done by Rescue Foundation in and around the North of India.  The Rescue Foundation Team works through the Protection Home Licenced by the Govt in Delhi

Rescue Foundation not only rescues Women & Children who are victims of Human Trafficking across the country but the Delhi Team partners with other Civil Society to rescue children who are trapped in Bonded Labour working as Child Labourers in factories, industries.  They live and work in these hazardous conditions exposed to injuries, accidents, lack of basic facilities, at times exploited phyisically and sexually.  The sad part is that this most often happens with the knowledge of the parents and relatives.

As the Home is licensed to operate as a Child Care Institute we also see many children being admitted by the Police or the Child Welfare Committees.  Most of these children are in need of immediate Care & Attention due to the fact they are run away kids, missing children, neglected or abandoned by their families.

The Home also sees some admissions for one night stay of women and girl children for night stay in case of abuse, or emergency.
