Sensitization on Anti – Human Trafficking Project (Canning) had run in Canning- I Block of South 24 Pargana district to prevent trafficking of children, girls and women while at the same time increasing awareness on women and child protection issues among the villagers. Since 2015, we have looked into 53 cases, among which 25 were cases of child marriage, 17 cases of human trafficking; 7 cases of missing person were resolved by involving local police station and Justice & Care; and 4 were cases of child abuse. 7 community vigilance committees were formed that work as safety net to protect children as well as women. Adolescence girls groups were formed involving 300 children who actively take part in spreading awareness and works as peer educators also.
After reaching sustainability, the project was handed over to the community after 6 years of its successful implementation.
