Of all the social evils that plague our planet, human trafficking is probably the most taboo. Mere whispers, or worse, silence, has contributed to making human trafficking the second largest profitable trade in the world. Human trafficking means to be taken against your will to be bought, sold and exploited in many different ways like sexual exploitation, forced labour, street crime, domestic servitude or even the sale of organs and human sacrifice. Men, women and children are trafficked within their own countries and across international borders. According to UNICEF, nearly 75,000 children go missing in India every year and over half of those children are never seen again. At Oasis India, our mission is to prevent human trafficking and other forms of violence against women and children and to help each person to flourish within their community. In order to do this Oasis runs projects and initiatives under six core areas – prevention, education, sports, rehab, skilling and community building. The present skilling activities include training in vocational skills like hair styling, tailoring, patient care & baking. Oasis also runs an employment - readiness programme that includes teaching English & computer for the youth in the community. A core component in all of these is life skills, through which self-esteem and personal confidence is built. You small contribution will help Oasis to continue the fight against human trafficking and bring hope to many women and children
