MARG conducts awareness programme on Human Trafficking in Kalimpong Villages

26th to 28th July 2014, MARG with the support from Glenn Family Foundation Kalimpong carried four awareness programmes about  Human Trafficking at Chibbo Busti, Pudung Busti, Bom Busti (Deowrali) and Pranami Girls High School Kalimpong.

In the past MARG had recovered girls from Kalimpong Sub-division who were a victim of Commercial Sexual Exploitation in other states. Many of the girls were also lured into massage palour in Goa and were a victim of this trade. Recent rescue in Goa by ARZ, Goa Crime Branch and MARG speaks about this flourishing trade.

This awareness would not have been successful without the support from Glenn family Foundation as they have been doing mammoth development works in the far of villages of Kalimpong. Together we felt that there was a dire need of these awareness camps. 

In all the four camps students, parents and the local leaders participated with a great zeal to save daughters and sisters of their locality but unfortunately there was no participation from Darjeeling Police as we used to have earlier. This was indeed sad.

The youth and some students came forward to set up Students Against Trafficking Club (SATC) and very soon there will be 4 vibrant clubs with 20 to 25 members who will be trained to combat this menace which has been engulfing our society rapidly.
