Humans Not For Sale by Prerana

Maed in India

Human Trafficking is a form of slavery. It’s the buying and selling of human beings through force, fraud, deception or coercion or by such other criminal means to exploit them for commercial sex, bonded labour or by harvesting their organs and trading in it. Human trafficking is a fast growing crime across the globe. On Humans Not For Sale by Prerana, we aim to create broader awareness around human trafficking for commercial sexual exploitation. We will help answer questions like - What is human trafficking? Is prostitution legal in India? How do the police conduct rescue operations? How do we help the rehabilitation of the victims? And more. Prerana is a non-profit and civil society organisation that protects children born to prostituted women in red light areas and helps the women themselves towards their rehabilitation, social reintegration and to restore their dignity by safeguarding their rights.

35 years ago, when Prerana began it’s interventions there was a cycle of intergenerational trafficking - where every child born to a prostituted women was a free recruit into the sex trade and its allied activities. Prerana came up with the novel idea of a Night Care Centre where the children of the prostituted women would have access to opportunities and would be safe from the threats of the red-light area. Mrs. Priti Patkar, the Co-founder of Prerana, talks about the situation of these children back when Prerana started it’s work and Prerana’s model of preventing interventional trafficking into the sex trade. We answer questions like,

What are the programs put in place in order to protect these children from intergenerational trafficking?

What is the Night Care Centre (NCC) and what does it do?

What was the response of the brothel keepers when a facility like NCC came into place? And many more.
