| Description: | The U.S. Consulate General Public Affairs Section (PAS) in Hyderabad seeks proposals for a project entitled “Workshop on Trafficking in Persons: Amplifying Lessons from Swaraksha Caravan.” In 2016, PAS Hyderabad implemented a grant in partnership with the non-governmental organization Prajwala to create awareness of trafficking in persons, particularly among young girls, women, and their families, who are especially vulnerable to traffickers. This anti-trafficking caravan, aptly titled Swaraksha, traveled across the mostly rural 53 districts of Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and Odisha over five months, to reach villages and towns where people are most at risk of being trafficked, and where information on countering trafficking in person is limited. Prajwala, along with local partners, screened documentaries and organized training workshops on countering trafficking of young girls and women. These activities involved women, girls, school teachers, and local village leaders. Rescued and rehabilitated TIP victims traveled with the caravan, and shared their stories.
