WSH: Desperation Attracts Deception – Asha’s Story

Desperate for a better future, Asha was scammed while seeking work abroad but found hope and support at our Women’s Safe Haven and Vocational Center.

Bhuvi was intercepted at the border. An investigation concluded the pimp had established a fake relationship with her, and proposed to marry her and give her a prosperous life in India.
During the interview, after she realized she was being sold, she revealed the pimp’s name and a suspected pimp from an outcast village who was transporting her to India. She also stated he had molested her time and time again. She was kept at our transit home and was provided with necessary counselling. The pimp called the office, stating he was her father.
But after coordination with the local police, it was revealed she had been missing for the past three months and her mother had filed a missing person’s report. After investigation, two pimps were arrested and our team helped to file a case against them. For safety and security, she was sent to the Women Safe Haven and is preparing for an exam to be able to continue her education.
