• Rescue from Commercial Sexual Exploitation
Following an email about sexual exploitation from an organisation in Cooch Behar , West Bengal, CIF's North Regional Resource Centre, Delhi began this intervention. Two girls had been lured to Delhi on the pretext of a job and were being kept in Yamuna Nagar. Fortunately, one of the girls escaped and returned home where she alerted the local NGO about the other girl. CIF officials in Delhi were unable to locate the place and contacted the CIF Gurgaon team that began its investigation and found that there was more than one victim. Once the girl was found, the rescue was initiated. On the basis of the statements of the victims and the information given by CIF, an FIR was registered against the five agents under Section 3, 4, 5 of the Immoral Traffic Prevention Act (ITPA). After a lot of paper work, the girl from Cooch Behar was allowed to return to her home with her father on November 8 th , 2008. |
