the worst form of human rights violation,

I'm talking to you about modern-day slavery.

Pranitha's mother was a woman in prostitution,

when she was in the final stages of AIDS,

so she sold four-year-old Pranitha to a broker.

By the time we got the information, we reached there,

raped by many, many men, I don't know many.

But the indications of that on her body was

she needed 32 stitches to put back her intestine into her body.

We still don't know who her parents are, who she is.

three years, four-year-olds, and five-year-old children

who have been trafficked for commercial sexual exploitation.

But that's not the only purpose that human beings are sold for.

They are sold in the name of organ trade.

They are sold in the name of forced labor,

I work on the issue of commercial sexual exploitation.

My own journey to work with these children

I was 15 when I was gang-raped by eight men.

I don't remember the rape part of it so much

Yes, there were eight men who defiled me, raped me,

but that didn't go into my consciousness.

But what lingered from then till now -- I am 40 today --

Two years, I was ostracized, I was stigmatized, I was isolated,

And that's what we do to all traffic survivors.

I started seeing hundreds and thousands of women and children

who are left in sexual slavery-like practices,

Most of them come from very optionless families,

You have even the middle class sometimes getting trafficked.

who is 14 years old, studying in ninth standard,

who was raped chatting with one individual,

and ran away from home because she wanted to become a heroine,

I have hundreds and thousands of stories of very very well-to-do families,

They're killed; we don't even hear about them.

Because the men who come to them are not men who want to make you your girlfriends,

These are men who buy you for an hour, for a day,

each of them tell me one story in common ...

one man taking a cigarette and burning her,

We are living among those men: they're our brothers, fathers,
