The fight against sex slavery of girl children

Stories of commercial sexual exploitation.
Gang-raped by eight men at the age of 15, Dr Sunitha Krishnan was stigmatized and ostracized because she was a victim of rape.
She has devoted her life to rescuing children from sexual slavery. Even children from well-to-do families are trafficked and forced into prostitution. They become voiceless 'anamika's.
She has rescued over 3500 girls, many of them HIV positive.
She rehabilitates girls and women from prostitution, restoring dignity to them.
She has been beaten up several times by traffickers. She cannot now hear from her right ear. One of her workers was murdered. But she says her greatest challenge is social attitude towards the victims of flesh trade or victims of rape and human trafficking.
She advocates fiercely for the acceptance of victims into civil society.
