You can help 5 girls survive the slavery of sexual exploitation and thereby achieve freedom and a life of dignity.
In Mumbai, thousands of girls are sexually exploited in inhumane conditions. They usually are between 20 and 25 years old, but many of them are as young as 16 or even less. They are recruited or kidnapped by mafia networks, who take them to Mumbai and force them into prostitution in outrageous conditions of slavery. They are forced to have sex with up to 11 clients a day, in small rooms, deprived of the most basic hygienic conditions. They suffer constant threat and abuses from their pimps.
Sonrisas de Bombay has a team dedicated to rescuing victims of human trafficking. After being alerted about a girl possibly being exploited, our team will act like fake customers to go to the brothel and confirm the received information. We will then coordinate with local police to run the rescue operation. After that, we provide the rescued girls all the support they need to be rehabilitated. This is a long process of several months, even years, before the survivors are fully recovered.
Rescuing these girls from captiviy and exploitation will help them to take the control of their lives back. They will no longer be exploited, and will be physically, psychologically and psychosocially rehabilitated. They will be able to aspire to fend for themselves and, once recovered from their wounds, earn a living by their own means. In short, they will be able to recover a dignified life in freedom.
