Our Challenges.
In the US, human trafficking crimes are reported across
All 50 States
In India alone there are at least
8,000,000
people living in modern slavery.
(Representing 1/5 of global victims. 70% of these victims are women and girls.)
The problem is pervasive and the long term solutions are limited. Numerous nonprofits report that only 23% of those freed remain free 12 months later. Re-trafficking is one of the most significant challenges facing the anti-trafficking effort.
Our Impact.
160+
Women have been freed, employed & empowered
560+
Children & family members are no longer at risk.
Over 8,400+
Victims have received direct care services.
As many as 8 out of 10 victims who are freed are re-trafficked, which is only a 20% success rate.
From exploitation to empowerment, Aruna’s distinctive mix of providing sustained support through the entire process with Aruna’s Four Pillars of Holistic Care, we have seen an over 63% reduction in re-trafficking rates and an over 86% sustained freedom rate both internationally and domestically.
What we do together makes a difference. One woman at a time.
Aruna has developed a vertically integrated model to specifically address the problem of re-trafficking.
