Freedom Ride 2022 for Mukhtir Aalo – “Light of Freedom”


Slavery did not cease with abolition in the nineteenth century; rather, it evolved and continues to hurt an estimated 40 million people today. Ten million of them are

youngsters.

Human trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery. Slavery deprives people of essential rights that many of us take for granted, such as the ability to live freely and happily and for children to study, play, and thrive.


Purnata's innovative approach to prevention is one of its initiatives in the battle against human trafficking. Prevention focuses on partnering with various stakeholders to protect victims' vulnerability and raising awareness of various forms of trafficking through various initiatives such as organising street plays, child advocacy programmes, capacity building and trainings, and legal assistance for prosecutions. We want to begin operations in Sonagachi, Asia's largest red light district (RLA). To get started, we'll need Rs. 4 lakhs to rehabilitate a functioning building. We will want Rs. 2.8 lakhs each month for the next six months, from October 22 to March 23, for a total of Rs. 20.8 lakhs.
