Dr. Sunitha Krishana sparked India's anti-trafficking movement by coordinating government, corporations and NGOs. She is the chief functionary and co-founder of Prajwala, a non-governmental organization in Hyderabad, opposed to forced prostitution and sex trafficking. Prajwala provides rehabilitative services for children who have been trafficked for commercial sexual exploitation. She is a woman who is selfless and has dedicated her life to the betterment of others.
Prajwala emerged as an anti-trafficking organization, which believes in preventing women and children from entering prostitution, which is the worst form of sexual slavery. The organization is actively involved in second-generation prevention, rescue, rehabilitation, restoration and social reintegration of victims of trafficking for commercial sexual exploitation. These objectives are achieved through a multi-pronged approach, as trafficking is a multi-dimensional problem.
Prajwala runs 17 transitional schools and three shelters (two for children and one for women called Astha Nivas and Asha Niketan respectively) in Andhra Pradesh for “abused children and former victims of commercial sexual exploitation,” Sunitha has her hands full. But she says she cannot rest when she knows that each day, many girl children are trafficked all over India.
She has won several awards such as
• Vanitha Women of the year 2009.
• Real Hero Award - 2008 , Awarded by Reliance Industries Limited and CNN-IBN Network.
• Perdita Houston International Award for Human Rights - 2007 Awarded by United Nations Association of the National Capital, Washington DC
• Stree Shakti Puraskar - Government of India
