C. S. W. Rehabilitation
Project
This year, a new risky
project called Commercial Sex Workers
Rehabilitation Project of saving the girls from prostitution
has been initiated with a vision to teach them live a pure and holy
life and make them good citizens of India. These girls have been
sold by their parents to some men who told them that their daughters
will be becoming movie stars in Mumbai and make a lot of money to
help them in the future. Little did they know that they will end up
in the brothels as sex slaves catering to European and American
market. We have setup to pay off the gangsters who are holding them
as hostages and bring them out and either take them back to their
home village or help them to get rehabilitated in a home set up for
them. Here are some case stories of these unfortunate girls:
1.
Name: Sunita Shetty (Name has been changed)
Age : 28
years
Native Place: Nepal
Children:
2 (1 Daughter & 1 Son)
Sunita is a resident of
Nepal. She has three younger brothers and two younger sisters, and
they are staying with their family. Before 18 years, when she was
working in a woolen factory, she got acquainted with a lovely couple
who were also employed in the same factory. One day this couple
arranged a picnic and Sunita also accompanied them. They gave her
some snacks, after eating which she felt very drowsy and soon she
became unconscious. After some hours when she woke up, she found
herself in a different country. The couple brought her to Mumbai in
India and sold her to a brothel keeper for Rs. 40000 and she was
forced for prostitution. Subsequently she was mentally and
physically abused by the brothel keeper and after one year, she was
sold again for Rs. 50000. After 2 years, one man came to her and
promised her to take her out of this hell. She trusted him but he
also defrauded her. He took her to another Red-light area & forced
her in the same profession. That man was married and he along with
her wife used to beat her severely. They never gave food to her.
Sunita had to sell herself in order to give money to them. She also
has two children from that man.
2. Name:
Susheela Samuel (Name has been changed)
Age :
30 years
Native Place:
Nepal
Susheela came to Mumbai
when she was 10 years old. Little did she know that she had to work
in the flourishing sex industry. She was cheated by her relative who
promised her parents that she would get a good job in Mumbai and
earn a good salary. Instead of the job she had been promised, she
ended up being sold into prostitution in an ordeal that was to last
for a long time. She was brought to a rental place where she was
forced to sleep with many men a day in order to pay the rent for the
place failing which she was beaten severely.
3. Name:
Laxmi (Name has been changed)
Age : 45
years
Native Place: Vijayawada,
Andhra Pradesh
Laxmi made what was
probably the biggest mistake of her young life when she agreed to go
on a trip to Mumbai with a group of new friends. Instead of the few
days of fun she had been promised, she ended up being sold into
prostitution. She was tormented and forced to sell her several times
a day. The brothel keeper gave her little or no money and kept her
in the brothels mainly through fear, occasionally selling them on to
other traffickers "like cattle".
4. Name:
Geeta (Name has been changed)
Age : 45
years
Native Place: Kolkata
Children: 3
(2 Daughters & 1 Son)
Geeta was 13 years old,
when one of her friends cheated her and sold her to a brothel
keeper. She was in a bungalow for nearly 8 years doing the same
business everyday. She also has three children from a man who slept
with her several times. Two of her children are married and one
younger daughter is 18 years old.
