DARE TO CARE: ENABLE CHILDREN OF WOMEN IN THE SEX TRADE TO SCRIPT A LIFE BEYOND THE CLUTCHES OF RED-LIGHT AREA ECONOMIES

Children born to mothers in the sex trade have a handed down life script: Girls and so-called "feminized" boys will end up as sexual service providers while boys will turn into pimps/traffickers/bootleggers/drug peddlers etc.

For more than two decades, DIKSHA has been enabling these children to challenge these handed down life scripts and craft a different future for themselves. The Kalighat red light area stands testimony to the transformation we can achieve: There are no madams, no pimps, no forced inter-generational dependence on the red-light area economy for children of any gender.

To sustain this work in three red light areas and two quasi red light areas within the Kolkata Municipal Corporation area, we urgently need your support now. If the sight of decked-up young girls soliciting clients on the roads disturbs you, if the thought of bright young boys turn into pimps and traffickers bothers you - here is your chance to make a difference!

Donate generously, earn tax relief if you are an Indian citizen, and be a proud partner in transforming the lives of stigmatized and socially excluded children.
