Breaking the Cycle for Children of Sex-Trafficked Women

In India, a child disappears every eight minutes. The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC, 2008) estimates that 5.4 million children are born to women in prostitution, most of them living side by side with their mothers in red-light districts.

For these children, life is a daily struggle. Nutritious food, safe shelter, medical care, and education are often out of reach. Brothel keepers exploit their vulnerability — using them to pressure mothers into unsafe sexual acts or forcing women to work longer hours, all for greater profit.

Mothers face an impossible task: raising their children in an environment plagued by crime, drug trafficking, and gang violence. The children, in turn, endure deep emotional scars, witnessing things no child should ever see.

The Red Bumblebee Foundation exists to change this reality. We rescue these children from danger and provide them with a safe, loving home — a place where they can learn, heal, and dream of a future free from exploitation and fear.
