Sex trafficking: the fight to recover India’s stolen children

The Sundarbans is the world's largest mangrove forest and one of the most climate vulnerable locations on the planet. Climate change has taken an enormous toll on the rainforest in recent years, repeatedly uprooting families and decimating the incomes of residents who have traditionally relied heavily on agriculture and fishing for their livelihoods.

Now, repeated natural disasters and environmental changes to the region have created a highly vulnerable population increasingly at risk of participating in or becoming victims of child trafficking.

29 year old Subhasree Raptan started her fight against human trafficking a decade ago. As a coordinator of Goranbose Gram Bikash Kendra (GGBK), a non-profit organisation, Subhasree has been educating women and children on dangers of trafficking and is helping police to track down those who have gone missing.
