It was reported in November that the partnership of two organisations is helping to combat the horrible, but fast growing, enterprise of child slavery in India.
Selling children brings profit to traffickers, factory owners and brothels. Cruelty, torture and rape accompany this ruthless business. With dedicated workers in India, Siloam Christian Ministries and Childcare Worldwide (CCW) are combating this abuse.
Protective hostel care
‘One way we help children avoid being trapped in slavery is through protective hostel care,’ explains UK Siloam Director Richard Norton. ‘Chennai is especially notorious for trafficking, including children’s brothels. Our hard-working partners there lovingly take care of girls from disadvantaged backgrounds. These girls benefit from protection and education to give them future security. Otherwise, they would be prey for those who entrap these vulnerable youth’.
