Rescue Team Free a Girl Mysore - South India

Free a Girl is dedicated to fight child prostitution. Free a Girl indentifies victims and conducts rescue raids to rescue girls from forced prostitution in cooperation with the local police. Once rescued, the rescued girls who can't go home receive counselling, medical care and education in (government) shelters. With the support of Free a Girl we offer legal aid to the rescued girls to advocate for their best interests in court and to prosecute those responsible. This project seeks to contribute to eliminating child prostitution in South India by providing rescue and access to justice for victims of sex trafficking, by
