EMPOWER PEOPLE?
Empower People started as a movement in 2005 and is now taking the shape of an Organization. It works to support law enforcement agencies and families of victims, in locating missing girls and conducting rescue operations. Empower People ensures a close follow-up of every rehabilitation process and has developed a mechanism to help track their well-being with an aim to ensure that the survivor does not fall prey to a trafficking trap again. The Organization forms a diversity group for each individual case to ensure her safety from being trafficked again and to mitigate the social stigma prevailing in the area. This group consists of people with different backgrounds from the same society who act as her guardians in the local community. Similarly, for trafficked brides living with their ‘husbands’ and children in destination areas, Empower People has designed a solution which involves organizing them into village communes that are managed and led by survivors themselves. The communes run skill centers for women, where they gather to associate with each other as trafficking survivors and celebrate the individuality of their being.
