More about Sports as major activity for women empowerment
To improve the mental and physical faculties of the unfortunate girls/children who are victims of Human Trafficking, we train them for Yoga, Karate and Sports We strongly believe that if one is physically strong enough, one can face the challenges of life successfully. So we give prime importance to Sports. We hold Sports competitions and Sports Meets to encourage participation and to promote Sports.
The girls are happy and joyful although they have been physically and mentally tortured in brothels to force them to prostitute. They soon open up truthfully to our counseling and because of the open, beautiful and comfortable environment as well as the sporty spirit and co-operative attitude and competitive Sports, they develop positive & progressive thinking thereby they readily accept our psycho-social therapy and make their lives meaningful.
Surprisingly Sports has helped us so much in our counseling and rehabilitation program that we have decided to increase the sports activities to a great extent. The result of our success in reintegrating these girls into respectable society depends mainly on counseling and the success of counseling is due to solely the Sports activities. Sports have helped tremendously in evolving a deep sense of unity among varied caste, creed, culture and religions. As you are aware, India is a country of diversity.
