Manjula & Madhu: Trafficked As Children

Human trafficking is not an issue that can be associated to some distant region that does not affect us. WOW encounters cases of trafficking of children in our own backyard – Chennai city limits.

Two sisters, Manjula and Madhu (names changed), were rescued from a gang that commonly works the train stations in the city. However, it was too late for their brother who was sold just prior to the rescue to an unknown person. Government sponsored interventions such as Childline and Juvenile Aid Police Unit often rescue children like Manjula and Madhu. Yet sadly many slip through the cracks.

WOW works with trafficked children in different capacities ranging from complete psychological evaluations, counseling, and rehabilitative interventions, depending on the needs of the rescue organization and the CWC. Each story we encounter is real and weighs heavily on us.

Eventually the brother of these sisters was rescued, but the journey the three siblings face to overcome these nightmarish experiences will remain immensely challenging.

We invite you to join us in our efforts to provide these much needed services.

Support girls like Manjula and Madhu through your generous donations.
