Justice and Care rescues and supports victims of trafficking, slavery and other abuses. We work internationally with governments and law enforcement agencies, focusing on prevention, protection and prosecution. Last month, our teams partnered with law enforcement to save close to 70 young lives in North India, also arresng 24 people for trafficking children and using them for labour. In addion, we partnered the Government and judiciary to examine how rescue, prevenon, prosecuon and protecon services for vicms of trafficking can be strengthened. Monthly Round-Up September 2017 “I had lost all hope of ever going back home” Would you believe that these are the feet of a 14-year-old boy? This boy worked at a wire mesh factory for up to 20 hours a day, in hazardous condions. Jusce and Care and the police were able to rescue 68 children and have 24 people arrested for trafficking children and using them for labour. Of these, 40 children were trafficked from a completely different state in Eastern Indian over a distance of 1100 kilometres and put to work in several wire mesh factories in North India. Children as young as eight-years-old were found working as child labourers in shocking condions in the factories without food and water. The children were taken to a neutral safe zone aſter their rescue, where inial legal proceedings were carried out in the presence of representaves from the Child Welfare Commiee, labour officers, doctors and the police. The different teams at Jusce and Care have completed the task of tracing the families of the children and restoring most of them to their families. In addion to this, long term aſtercare plans are being developed for them and our legal teams are assisng the state in the prosecuon of the criminal networks involved in trafficking and enslaving the children.
