Your constant and lawful support makes possible for us to keep building an alternative world for women survivors of human trafficking, the Udaan shelter, which keeps growing everyday. This project allows six women and three of their children to stay in the shelter, creating a solid network of trust and support.
And in this opportunity we can share a story of success, as one of the survivors, Jyoti, has completed the program and is now living with her partner and their son!
Jyoti came from a terrible and hazardous life. Cheated by a so-called friend who promised her a job in Kolkata, she was actually sold to a pimp. A life of exploitation began. Some time later she was sent to the Kamathipura red area in Mumbai. A nightmare that has lasted for several years, until she was able to join the Udaan shelter project and dream of a better life, which now seems to come true!
As she keeps in touch with us, we can know what her plans are. While she stayed in the Udaan shelter, she was trained in basic beauty skills. Thanks to this, she is joining a beauty parlor, where she will develop her new profession and get a salary to maintain her and her son!
This is exactly what we expect for all survivors participating in this project: to acquire abilities and capacities which will allow them to earn a decent living, in freedom, and away from sexual exploitation.
Your support makes it possible!
THANK YOU!
