Abstract:
Among huge envelope of India's poor, extreme poverty and the low premium traditionally placed on female lives sees thousands of girls, most of them more
children than women, sold into unmitigated hell by family members and acquaintances.
For ages, the commercial sex trade has been the chief destination for trafficked girls. According to a report by the Ministry United Nations Centre for
Development and Population Activities indicates that approximately 200 girls and women in India enter sex work every day. More than 160 are forced into it.
In 2013, The Rescue foundation rescued over 1000 girls across Mumbai, Thane, Panvel and Pune. These girls require special attention and care not just limited
to their medication but providing them intricate psycho-social counselling at every stage and an overall positive attitude. Because of their traumatic depression
coupled with their HIV status, they develop suicidal tendencies. Hence, their wellbeing depends on the environment in which they stay.
