In every city, town or village there are women and young girls who due to economic compulsions and socio-cultural factors are rendered option-less making them vulnerable to deception or fraudulent means of traffickers. Lack of education makes them more vulnerable than others.
For those unfortunate victims who are already prey to flesh trade the lives of their children is a matter of immense concern. These children stigmatized by the society are vulnerable to be subjected to exploitative conditions without any hope for reintegration.
In order to prevent sex trafficking through education, transition centers are started for vulnerable children who live in poor localities. These centers are just bridging spaces to mainstream education in regular schools.
These centers provide for the holistic psycho-social and scholastic needs of the child. The concept of bridging the space also provides coping skills that will support the child to competently perform in the mainstream school.
The first transition center was started in the year 1996 with just 5 children today in 2012 the transition centers and the drop in centers together have reached out to over 7000 children. Using education as a tool thousands of vulnerable children are being prevented from being inducted into flesh trade or sex trafficking.
