Disowned by Family, Women Rescued From Indian Brothels Turn to Counselling

The woman, who declined to be identified, is one of thousands who are trafficked from in and around Kadiri town in Andhra Pradesh's Anantapur district to the brothels of Mumbai, New Delhi and Pune every year.
Agents and gangs prey on the poverty of thousands of women and girls in rural areas, promising them a good job and decent income in other cities before selling them into the sex trade, activists say.
Many women are rescued or escape – only to return home and face a new struggle to overcome their past and deal with the present. Not only are the women very pretty, they are also very poor, making them easy targets for agents.

A recent government survey identified Kadiri, where Chittoor, Kadappa and Anantapur districts meet, as a hot spot for human trafficking in Andhra Pradesh, the coastal state which is home to India's space research center.  Between April 2015 and March 2016, more than 600 women sought help at the centers, many of them victims of trafficking, others of domestic abuse. Byalla, a famous organization there, also sends out teams to 124 villages identified in 2004 as having high rates of migration. They go looking for trafficked victims and also those on the verge of migrating. The Gandlapenta center also offers vocational training based on the belief that if women are taught a skill, which they can earn a living from, they will be less likely to fall victim to traffickers. Many of the women who go to Byalla are directed to the vocational center, where they are trained to make sanitary pads, incense sticks, notebooks and taught tailoring. Some stay on after their training and earn a monthly salary to run their homes.

I think this situation is bit hard for women there in India. However, I relieved there are some organizations care about women, such as Byalla and Gandlapenta. I wish the government can resolve this problem as soon as possible by create some strict rules and educate people there.
