Positive Silver
Positive Silver aims to raise funds for the Chime For Change project, Rescuing Girls From Forced Prostitution In India.
"It is believed that millions are exploited in this lucrative industry in India. Vulnerable girls from poor socio-economic backgrounds are often sold, kidnapped or lured into forced prostitution under false promises of marriage and well paid jobs. They are frequently enslaved and raped on a daily basis, suffering from severe physical and psychological trauma. Intensifying this problem is the clandestine nature of the industry coupled with the evolving methods of traffickers and brothel owners.
This project seeks to rescue, rehabilitate and provide acess to justice for girls, particularly minors, who are victims of trafficking and forced prostitution in Maharashtra. Free a Girl supports our local partner, Freedom Firm, to identify victims and conduct rescue raids in brothels with law enforcement. Once rescued, the rescued girls receive counselling, medical care, basic education and vocational training. We also offer legal aid to the rescued girls to advocate for their best interests.
Free a Girl works with our local partners to rescue girls and provide freedom and direct relief. In the long term, it is through the continuous rescue raids and prosecution of perpetrators that trafficking networks are dismantled, brothel owners are deterred from exploiting girls, and local law enforcement are increasingly sensitized about this crime. This has the effect of holding perpetrators accountable and contributing to the elimination of forced prostitution of girls in India."
