My struggle

To stop child trafficking. Group of children  ???                                                      When I was smuggled to Delhi from an island village in the Sundarbans of Kolkata, I did not dare to fight. But within a few months, I managed to escape from there. I now feel empowered as an activist when I narrate stories of myself and other children like myself to international audiences. I currently live in the 24 Parganas district of West Bengal. My father died when I was five years old. My family was facing financial disaster. Family circumstances forced me into a domestic worker business at the age of twelve. I saw that there was a terrible situation for the children. A large number of children were being pushed into child labor by child marriages and smuggling to many cities. Due to my dislike for work, after working in a house for about six months, I somehow escaped and went back to my village. As the days went by, many of the children of the village were caught in the clutches of smuggling and went to the city, then felt that something needed to be done and decided to campaign against child abuse on their own. I became an active member of Save the Children's Multi-Activity Center (MAC), which works for children. After this, I first came to know about the concept of child rights. I understood these rights and started working against various forms of child abuse. To ensure that every child has a happy childhood and is not forced into labor or marriage. I noticed that it was not possible for the MAC Center to reach a large number of people and so began the process of group formation of children who are "fighting against evils such as child marriage, trafficking, and child labor, Apart from this, awareness about issues like health and education. These groups keep an eye on those in the village who lure traffickers to children. When I started raising voice for child rights, people did not take it seriously. He used to laugh at me, many people threatened him. I faced a lot of criticism, but now things have changed. Whether it was the effect of going on international forums, or something else, people started listening to me. Soon our groups began to gain recognition in the area and the number of children joining them started increasing rapidly. The adults in the area started supporting him. I now lead more than eighty children's groups under the international NGO Save the Children, in which each group has about ten to twelve members. I have met many child activists from different countries who have faced more problems than me in their lives, but are now leading the fight for change in society., Which has about ten to twelve members in each group? I have met many child activists from different countries who have faced more problems than me in their lives but are now leading the fight for change in society. We are developing a network of child activists from all over the world. I believe that countries can be different, but our problems are the same. I have studied till postgraduate. I dream of a world where every child lives happily. I am advocating for children's rights. Trafficking in the name of labor and marriage has become a major problem. I have been a victim of trafficking and I know how painful it is. - Based on various interviews of activists conferred with the Nari Shakti Award. __---Anoyra Khatoon from INDIA ??????
