Every victim has a right to be rescued. But the trafficking process desensitizes a
victim forcing her to lose trust and faith in all support systems. It is this reason
that makes a victim look at the process of rescue with distrust. In fact many times
rescues done in collaboration with the law enforcers end up with a hostile victim.
Prajwala got into rescues in early 1998 in response to the information given by
mothers who were also women in prostitution. Earlier all the rescues were
undertaken by Prajwala team members directly but today with lot more sensitization
of the mothers the rescues are done by them and Prajwala largely looks after the
rehabilitation process. Due to the community involvement it was a difficult process
to go to the law enforcers for support, but today Prajwala also does a lot of rescue
with police support. Two interventions are grounded to facilitate rescue work. |
