At 4 feet 6 inches, anti-trafficking crusader Sunitha Krishnan is a gentle giant of sorts, fighting against sex slavery and bringing hope to the countless and nameless survivors. In this moving talk, Sunitha tells her story of acceptance, and how real change can come only when there is inclusion of all in society.
Sunitha Krishnan, Founder and Director of Prajwala, or "an eternal flame", is an eminent anti-trafficking activist internationally known for her fight against girl child trafficking for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation. A mental health professional, she has done extensive research and is essentially a field practitioner. Prajwala runs 17 schools throughout Andhra Pradesh, India, for 6,000 children and has rescued more than 4,200 women from prostitution, 2,100 of whom Sunitha personally liberated. Sunitha has sparked India's anti-trafficking movement by coordinating government, corporations and NGOs. She forged NGO-corporate partnerships with various companies to find jobs for rehabilitated women. Sunitha works closely with the Indian government to define anti-trafficking policy, and her recommendations for rehabilitating sex victims have been passed into state legislations.
