A victim of trafficking

yet another girl....a victim of trafficking...rescued in delhi but no one to help her. despite the govt constantly amending laws to prevent trafficking of women and children.....t is largely because the police does not react on time...that thousands of these trafficking victims are lost in the population

Alone... and terrified...

No one to turn to... no one who can understand her

Thats the plight of this young woman...

The 22 year old was brought to Delhi on Monday...along with 2 other women....on the pretext of a job offer...

She soon figured out the job was a sham and she was about to be sold

She ran away... at the first chance.

But soon found herself lost... on the streets of an unsafe city.....speaking a language that many don't understand

Finally... someone brought her to assam bhawan.

Delhi police were alerted but they refused to touch the case....saying it was for the assam police to act.

Assam bhawan officials...wanting to get rid of her...gave her some money and asked her to take the next train...

until the national commission for women stepped in.

((bite: Manju Hembrom, NCW))

"had the admin and police not caused so much of delay we would have been able to rescue the other two girls as well...these are things that states like jharkhand chhattisgarh and assam need to keep in mind."

The commission has now decided to file a complaint against the errant officials... and have ordered a woman constable to be with her till she is escorted back home in Assam.

((breathe NCW yelling...i want a letter from their parents saying the girl has reached home))

She is safe..for now....But the lack of response from the officials...may have ruined the chances of rescuing the two women with whom she began her journey
