[voice4HR]

Home to about 10,000 women and children, Chaturbhuj-sthan is a brothel in Bihar, near the border of Northern India. Prostitution has become a family tradition in Chaturbhuj-sthan, passed down from generation to generation.

Naseema and the other women work to prevent others being trafficked, mainly from neighbouring Nepal and Bangladesh, in the last year alone they have been able to send at least 20 new girls safely back home.

The former prostitutes have many enemies, and the work is extremely dangerous. Rani Begum,the chief of the brothel, has suffered a blow financially as a result of Naseema’s activities. Her thugs have publicly harassed and beaten Naseema and the other women who work with her on numerous occasions.

Naseema and the women face extreme danger in doing the work that they do but they continue to fight for what they view as right. Any thoughts?
