Why Kranti?

India’s Dept of Women & Children estimated in 2009 that 3 million women are trafficked throughout the country every year – 40% of whom are minors. Despite the millions of dollars poured into anti-trafficking NGOs, these numbers rise each year because current models fail to attack the root of the problem – gender inequality stemming from a belief that boys are an asset to a family while girls are a liability. India needs to recognize that girls are not financial burdens; they are an untapped source of collective strength and knowledge – and only they can develop the solution to India’s trafficking problem.
