Overview : SANLAAP’s campaign against trafficking includes the rescue and rehabilitation of victims of CSEC and preventive measures. SANLAAP works on a range of activities as a part of its counter-trafficking measures: campaigns, advocacy and sensitisation of various stakeholders on the issue of trafficking; and the rescue, rehabilitation and socio-economic reintegration of trafficked persons.

The rehabilitation programme is the core programme of SANLAAP and focuses on working directly with the victims, adopting a holistic, psychosocial intervention approach leading towards reintegration. SANLAAP runs four shelter homes in and around Kolkata, offering a range of services from education and skills training to legal and medical aid. To safeguard the rights of vulnerable children and children of women in prostitution, SANLAAP runs child protection programmes in Kolkata and its suburbs through 16 drop-in centres which cater to over 5,000 children. SANLAAP provides support to children who have dropped out of school and helps them to re-enter and complete formal education.

The Youth Partnership Project for Child Victims of Commercial Sexual Exploitation in South Asia (YPP-SA) is a unique initiative that aims to have a positive youth partnership and psychosocial impact and improve the lives of affected children. Through participation, peer support programmes, community awareness campaigns and public advocacy, survivors and at-risk youth join together to combat CSEC in India, Nepal and Bangladesh.
