On October 20, 2010, 21 young women aged 16 to 20 were freed by the Rescue Foundation from a brothel in the red-light district of Budhwarpeth in Pune. Nisha, Ratna, Rani, Noori and the other young women are at this moment being sheltered in the Pune Shelter Home belonging to the Rescue Foundation. As for Samjana, Sarita and Shaiyamma, 19 to 20 years-old, they were then freed on November 10 during another rescue operation by the Rescue Foundation and the local Police in the red-light district of Turbhe, in New Mumbai, Maharastra. They found shelter at the Kandiwali Protective Home of the Rescue Foundation. In all, between October and December 2010, seven rescue operations made it possible to liberate 67 young women, all of them being sheltered by the Rescue Foundation. These women had been kidnapped, sold or deceived and forcibly dragged into the world of prostitution and some, like Samjana and Sapna, all the way from neighbouring countries such as Nepal. These rescue operations led to the arrest of traffickers and managers of brothels.
