About the Organization

Prerana, has been addressing the issue of trafficking for commercial sexual exploitation of children and women intensively and comprehensively since the past three decades by camping at ground zero. Over time it has evolved several path breaking interventions in the service sector and contributed substantially towards advocacy and capacity building activities. It pioneered the term and domain, post rescue operations, aftercare and is engaged in fine tuning a variety of techniques and tools indispensable in those domains such as minimum standards of care and protection, social investigations, care plans, etc. On one hand it has worked very closely in partnership with the state agencies and on the other hand, through its landmark Public Interest Litigations (PILs), it has mobilised the will power and resources of the state. Over the last few years, Prerana has been instrumental in addressing larger issues around child protection and gender-based violence through on ground interventions.

About the Projects

Anti-trafficking Center:

Prerana began its Anti-Trafficking Resource Centre in the year 2000 with the help of the US State Department. In a short span, this knowledge hub called the Anti-Trafficking Resource centre (ATC) grew in leaps and bounds addressing a variety of areas that needed better understanding, beginning with understanding how the laws related to (anti) trafficking unfolded on the ground. Over a period of time, the need to convert the offline resource centre to an online, all accessible centre was felt. Thus, Prerana launched its online resource center; www.fighttrafficking.org in the year 2016. This center currently serves as a knowledge resource and Prerana is looking for dedicated individuals with a passion for child rights and social change to join us and contribute to the growth of our online resource center. Those who truly believe in the power of communications to influence change and advocate for the vulnerable should definitely apply for this role.
