- Summary
- "The place where we live is called a red-light area" is an advocacy project by Apne Aap Women Worldwide, supported by the West Bengal State AIDS Prevention and Control Society and developed by the children of Paschim Banga Krira O Janakalyan Parishad and Deepika Social Welfare Trust, from the red-light areas of Kalighat and Sonagachchi in Kolkata. Apne Aap Women Worldwide runs five community centres in red-light areas and slums all over India to prevent the trafficking of women and children.
It is a project developed by children to:
a) End the demand for trafficked and prostituted children by making men read about the consequences of their demands.
b) End the stigma and discrimination perpetrated against children by men.
c) Help adult policy-makers develop interventions for children affected by trafficking for prostitution. - Related documents
