Namaste Everyone,
Greetings from the Junction.
One of our aims is to increase awareness within the local community about the plight of these girls and help us establish a network of protection for them. We work with the police and raid local brothels and we have found girls as young as twelve years of age. In these cases in conjunction with local authorities we always prosecute and bring those responsible for this abuse to Justice . Over 40 people are behind bars today as a result of these prosecutions. We need to establish there will be no safe haven, no escape from those who choose to abuse children.
We are determined to do what we can with your help to stop this abuse of innocence, wherever and whenever we find it. For this we need your support, and as always I send my heartfelt appreciation to you all.
Here at the Junction we have a very small dedicated team working with the police and railway authorities in finding child labour agents, adults who have been reported as abusing children, and those who would employ them, and bring them to justice .
Whilst the Justice system is slow here in India we work with the courts and the judicary locally to bring speedy Justice and to take these offenders off the streets and behind bars.
Through our detailed accounts we can now tell our supporters that each succesfull prosecution costs an average of 500 US dollars to implement .
Any help that you would like to give specifically to this programme just mention on your donation amount " FOR JUSTICE"
These proceedings are done in a child sensitive matter with the survivors making key decisions in the process.
However as always all donations are always very welcome and appreciated
With thanks and Best Wishes.
Priyanka
