“Their playground is the brothel, they are the playthings and toys of lust. India has the world’s largest concentration of child prostitutes, accounting for one in every four of the global number. India’s children are no strangers to exploitation, but none of it is as brutish as the terror to which these particularly unfortunate kids have been subjected. Raped at 10, tortured and starved to submission at 11, an abortion at 12, and sexually violated 15 times a day till age and AIDS throws them on to the streets.”

In the past decade, child prostitution in India has evolved from a serious issue to a major epidemic; the number of children involved in prostitution and the HIV rate associated with these children has been rising steadily. There are approximately 1.2 million young girls living in India's brothels. We rescue and shelter these girls and give them the skills to begin a new life.
