13-year-old Abha was offered a way out of excruciating poverty for her and her family. Little did she know, she was about to be trafficked for sex in Mumbai—home to the 200-year-old red light district.

To make a lasting change during this Human Trafficking Awareness Month, help IJM move closer to declaring this district a zero-trafficking zone. Together, we can rescue every single minor who is suffering, just like Abha.
