India's Underground Sex Trafficking

When we walk out our door we don't realize that many people don't have a picture perfect life like we do. Many girls are being sex trafficked throughout the world and we don't hear about it because it is happening underground. Girls no longer have human rights throughout the world like we do here in the United States.
In India more the 20,000 girls as young as 6 are being sex trafficked, and they are being locked up in brothels around the country.
The girls are being tricked into having a better life; the men offer the parents money and then tell them that they are going to take them to the city for a better life.
A very inspirational women named Anuradha Koirala has devoted her life to helping these girls be rescued from sex trafficking.
More than 80% of the girls Anuradha Koirala has saved are infected with HIV or another infectious disease.
Donate Now to help these girls from being sex trafficked.

  1. Being sold into a life of slavery can only be a horrible life experience for the girls. Having a teenage girl of my own, I can only think life must have been a living nightmare for the parents to have to given them up in the veiled hope they would have a better life.
