Thousands of women and children are trafficked to and from the #Northeast, across international borders. From children who are brought to work in rat hole mines in Meghalaya to young girls who are sold into prostitution—the issue was a systematic failure.
Thousands of women and children are trafficked to and from the #Northeast, across international borders. From children who are brought to work in rat hole mines in Meghalaya to young girls who are sold into prostitution—the issue was a systematic failure.
The only way to combat it effectively was to develop a comprehensive anti-human trafficking model that could be applied not just in India but across South East Asia.
And that’s exactly what @HasinaKharbhih & her @ImpulseNGO team did. The Impulse model brings govt depts, law enforcement agencies, judiciary, civil society orgs, pvt institutions & the media to pool in their resources to tackle the complex issue.
If you want to know more about the issue, watch my interview with @HasinaKharbhih for @newslaundry. Not only did she explain the model in detail but she also shared her personal journey as an Indian woman working in the anti-human trafficking sector.
