About

  • Headquarters

    Mumbai, Maharashtra

  • Since

    1991

The children of Sex Workers residing in the Red Light Areas like Kamathipura & Falkland, where the profession of prostitution of their mothers is Read more highly vulnerable of life threatening due to dreaded diseases and possibility of physical assault because persons from all categories and every walks of life are constantly visiting for the said activity and some of them are perverts. Hence this situational causing embarrassment and adverse impact on the minds of the children and defraying from going to school. The atmosphere in their locality is very pathetic and not encouraging for pursuing the education. We therefore wish to come forward for providing the opportunity of the education to these children for their safety from the offence of sex-abuse and sexual exploitation by the male domination and to prevent the girls children from entering in to the activity of prostitution & boys in to becoming pimps like their ill- fated mothers. Hence there is need of “APANI DUNIYA” away from brothel atmosphere. Morning children are attending public schools, Afternoon they attend Study Club in SAI’ s office at Byculla, Mumbai & in the evening the return to them at 6 p.m. At that time they do not have space to seat & study in their homes i.e. brothels & they find it extremely difficult to sleep at night because of the continues prostitution of their mothers. Their living place is very small consisting of one bed having size of 3 *6 Feet. On the top surface of the bed the mother is carrying on prostitution activity and under the bed the child/ children are sleeping, there is no place for the children for the study peacefully and concentrate on it. Moreover, the customers visiting brothels are rude, aggressive, drunk & unmannerly behaving inhumanly with the sex workers using slang words sometimes quarreling & beating. Due to these children cannot sleep, focus on their studies & seeing atrocities to their mothers by customers their behavior become uncommon, wild & resulting in to irritating responding to others. This impact is very bad on the tender mind of the children. Hence to protect the wellbeing of the children & build up bright future of the children it is also absolutely necessary to shift them to SAI’s 11.5 Acres own land and establish “APANI DUNIYA- OUR UNIVERSE” A proposed Shelter at Kuhe, Taluka –Bhiwandi, District- Thane.


Issue

Issue - Since 1991 we are working with the community of poor female sex workers for HIV/AIDS prevention and care program and we came to know that the tender aged girls were also dragged in to prostitution. To overcome this pathetic situation, we have started enrolling the children in the nearby public school for their betterment and break this vicious circle. Despite this because of unconducive atmosphere in the brothel and their area the children are not completing their education and dropping out from the education stream. Hence objective of the progress of the children is not fulfilled. To mitigate this adverse situation it is proposed by us to set up a Shelter in Kuhe Village, to admit to them in public school and shift these children thereat so that they will remain away from their existing brothel area/ living area, study well and show satisfactory progress to come up in the life.


Action

Apani Duniya – Shelter on SAI’s own 11.5 acres land (at Kuhe – Bhiwandi, Thane district of Maharashtra) for Children of Poor Sex Workers. The Project is set up for the welfare of the children of the sex workers of Mumbai’s brothel’s and to remove from unconducive the purpose of the same Is as follows. Construction of Shelters (Ashram) on SAINGO’s 11.5 Acres land at Kuhe Village, Taluka- Bhiwandi, District- Thane for children of Sex Workers for educational purpose. Objectives- 1. To Provide the SAFETY/SECURITY to these children. 2. To provide them safer & secure Shelter and School away from the brothels where their mothers are carrying on the profession of prostitution. 3. To stop child prostitution & human trafficking. 4. To enable them to attend the school & study club of SAI on regular basis. 5. As they will be away from evil atmosphere of brothels & atrocities of mothers there will not be adverse impact on their tender minds & will not behave wildly. This will result in to better concentration on their school studies. 6. They will be provided proper food, dinner & better sleeping arrangement. 7. The staying together will emerge the feeling of unity, fraternity & security.

Impact

Impact- Bringing the children of Sex Workers away from Brothel and in the natural environment of SAI’s “Apni Duniya,” children will get independence, open space to stay, play, study and enjoy and they will get better sleep, they will make focus on studies and develop their personalities. Children will be freed from unsafe brothel and freed from physical abuse, harassment, atrocities and will have a safe and happy life and focus on studies with a future perspective. In Apni Dunia, children will get nutritious food on time so the mortality rate due to malnutrition will be zero. Destitute women will get employment.
