Sunitha Krishnan
A victim of gang rape herself, Sunitha Krishnan has risen from the ashes to rescue others from trafficking. The tasks she has on
hand are just too enormous. Her organization has been instrumental in rescuing and
rehabilitating thousands of women and children.She has a blog titled “Sunitha Krishnan: Anti-Trafficking Crusader” where she
recounts her experiences of rescue. Actually,
her blog is not an easy read. It is very difficult to read about small girls (as young as
four year old) being raped by fathers, uncles,
brothers, cousins and neighbours. Her blog
posts can just shame us all out of our peaceful existence. The least we can do is spread
awareness about the scourge of trafficking.
We are a very proud nation, boasting of our
glorious past and our current status of being
an ‘economic giant’. But we seem to brush under the carpet the sins committed by us. Trafficking is increasing at an alarming rate and no
one is spared. Girls are brought in from Nepal
and sold to brothels all across our nation. The
alarming part is that people who are involved
in all this are the ones who are trusted by
victims.The condition of the victims is worse
than that of slaves! The victims are subjected
to the worst form of sexual abuse often accompanied by violence. It leaves the victims
emotionally as also physically brutalised. The
victims have to keep catering to many clients
and end up with HIV/AIDS. Then, they are
just discarded as they are now useless and
cannot bring in any returns for their owners.
Sunitha’s organization ‘Prajwala’ has been rehabilitating the victims after rescuing them.
Shelters have been built and a factory has
been opened where skills like carpentry,
welding, etc. are taught to the girls. Prajwala also tries to unite the victims with their
families. Sometimes, the victims are not accepted back by the families owing to the
backwardness of our views on women. At
such times, Prajwala takes full responsibility
of these victims. Some women and girls are
also married off by Prajwala in its endeavour
to integrate the victims back into society. Prajwala also takes care of the last rites of the
victims who pass away. In all these tasks, Prajwala faces stiff opposition from our society.
Prajwala works with police and other law
enforcement agencies in this job of fighting
commercial sexual expolitation. The organization never seeks publicity for the rescue
of the girls, letting its work speak for itself.
Prajwala and Sunitha have won many awards
for their exemplary work. They are now
sought after the world over by programs for
rescue and rehabilitation of victims of trafficking. Even State governments are listening
to Prajwala and Sunitha in effecting measures for the prevention of trafficking. All
this will surely help in minimising this crime.
Sunitha has said time and again that
the silence of the society towards human trafficking has to change. Let us become aware and appreciate Prajwala.
