1 Sunitha Krishnan - Anti Trafficking Crusader..

When my friend told me to read about Sunitha Krishnan, the first thought I got into my mind is she might be a person related to some kind of art. I have started with the video of her which is a TED talk show. The introduction of the video is utterly shocking, that children of youngest age 3 and 4 are being raped. I barely know that innocent children are forced to such activities, but never thought that they were so little. I got really moved when Sunitha was saying about these children.

She herself was a victim and the decision that she made to move on was really inspiring. Most dynamic thing is, she had not only moved her life ahead, she tried to save many other victims and for that she started an organization by name 'PRAJWALA' , which rescues sexually abused exploited women, children who are forced for sex trafficking.The Organization did not stop with rescuing, but provides shelter, educational services to prostitute's children, vocational training to women to build up the confidence and move on with their life. 

When she said,"The biggest challenge I face is from the Society, because no one wants to accept them", it didn't mean much to me. But when she was narrating an example, I got to know the true sense of that words. Yes, there are very few people who wants to accept them and let them be part in our society.The society's perception should change, they are victims and they should be given space and chance to live normal life without which they find no other way and many end up their lives.

She shared the same thing when hosting for Aamir Khan's 'Satyamev Jayate'. Even in the book named Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide, author have described how the cultural customs are blocking the empowerment of such victims and the role played Sunitha Krishnan in minimizing those gaps in society and her brave work in rescuing the victims. She has her own blog, where she shares her activities. Sunitha Krishnan, Narayanan Krishnan and many people in India have dedicated their life to rescue the hopeless in the society.
