I was 16 years old when I was sold to a brothel by my neighbours. My first night I was drugged and raped repeatedly till I was unconscious. As days passed, I saw many girls being forced to stay at the brothel, some even younger to me! 1/5

Each girl met the same fate-they were drugged, beaten & raped by customers. After a year of facing this insufferable abuse, I was rescued by state govt officials. The owner had escaped, but the police carried out an investigation. 2/5

After 9 months, the police finally caught, arrested & imprisoned my trafficker. I chose to testify against the brothel owner in court. It was scary to see my trafficker again, but I had seen so much abuse and torture in front of my eyes. 3/5

Wouldn’t you want the person who did all this to be brought to justice? If you don’t protest against what he did, he will never be stopped. I had to be brave. 4/5

Today I am a proud mother and hope to start my own tailoring business so I can send my daughter to school. 5/5
