Solutions--###for children induced in sex trade###
There are a lot of known brothels and red light areas in various areas of the country...It is possible to build a team of lady police officers supported by a few male police officers who raid on such brothels...
They should arrest every girl present in such area and counseled to identify such girls who have been forced into the trade...Once such girls are identified ,there should be attempts to send them back home to their parents...
All the girls below 18 yrs of age whose parents cannot be traced ,should be sent to rehabilitation centers and efforts should be made to help them live a normal live...
If the govt succeeds to identify 500 such girls and help them live a normal life,the move would be definitely appreciated....
A strong will is required to take up such causes.. more
