The Impact

Eighty percent of the human trafficking across the world is committed for sexual
exploitation and the rest is for bonded labor, and India is considered as the hub of this crime in
Asia. As per the statistics of the government – every eight minutes a child goes missing in India.
The women I met at the safe house were some of the strongest women I have ever had the
pleasure of getting to know. They opened my eyes to what it means to be have faith and hope
in a better tomorrow. Most of these women, when they were only children, were unwillingly
forced and sold into trafficking. Oasis of Life International helps provide skills-training programs
to aid in the rehabilitation and transition program for these victims. Sitting with these women
and listening to their stories and seeing the impact OLI is making is unforgettable. The women
currently live in an apartment with other women who empower them in sisterhood. Meeting
these women has forever leave an impact on my heart.
