Rescue sex workers & at-risk children in India

The word 'Mother' is a powerful one.  The world over people recognise the most important and pivotal person in their live as their Mother, often revered more then deity.  

Women, play a vital role the world over, in the family as provider, supporter and nurturer and in the world at large with 90% of the working hours being fulfilled by a women (at 10% of the worlds pay).  A 13% drop in vulnerable employment for women worldwide is encouraging.  In politics the proportion of women in parliament has doubled.  In education we are closer then ever in reaching more of our children.  Gender equality for Women now more then ever seems attainable, or does it?  Sadly when you’re in an abusive situation nothing else matters.  In India 3 out of  4 girls don’t finish secondary education, a rape occurs every 20 minutes and dowry deaths and honour killings go unpunished.  It’s time to change that. 

Our rescue projects work across the board to bring Gender Equality and if you are a women in India as far as we are concerned it's ok to be pregant and alone, it's no big deal if you are homeless and destitute, we don't judge if you are making your money from sex work and have a heroin addiction, if you are burned, mamed, scarred physically or just in a bad way - we don't see that first.  We see you are in need of our services and we will not push you to explain your situation, we will just offer you all we can to help you get to a safe point and to get back to living the life you imagined in your better moments.

The world needs a change.  It's me, it's you, it's all of us that can bring that change - Malala New York UN summit 25th September 2015

Take Sunitha.  She is the best person in our organisation to support our younger boys get along in school and to mentor our adolscent girls through their difficult years.  She is training to be a nurse and she is the best person because she knows first hand how ugly the scars of Gender Inequality can look like.  We just see a tower of resiliance and a great mother for our children who have come to us in need of some maternal love.
