11th October is International Day of the Girl Child, a day dedicated to promoting the rights and wellbeing of girls. At IJM we're committed to empowering girls who have experienced trafficking or violence to pursue their dreams and to contribute towards a more just world - and Ranjita is leading the way!

Once trapped in bonded labour, today this family is full of hope – and Sandeep is speaking out as a survivor leader.

Revisiting six cases demonstrates IJM's model for criminal deterrence is proving effective. Effective law enforcement—including arresting, charging and convicting perpetrators—creates a long-term preventative effect among offenders and is now curbing exploitation in these worksites and others.
