Apne Aap Women's Collective Newsleter
About Apne Aap Women‟s Collective (AAWC) :Founded in 1998, Apne Aap Women‟s Collective (AAWC) is an anti-trafficking organization that serves the women and their children in the red light districts of Falkland Road and Kamathipura, Mumbai, through our three programs: Umeed for women in brothel-based prostitution (18+ years), Udaan for their daughters (5-18 years), and Um ng for their toddlers (2.5-5 years). By providing our beneficiaries with the tools and resources to create a better quality of life, we seek to empower those women who have been trafficked into brothel-based prostitution, prevent the intergenerational cycle of prostitution amongst their daughters and assist the toddlers in becoming healthy and responsible citizens. As of March 2016, we have directly and indirectly served more than 3000 women and children. Our alumni have earned Bachelor's and Master's degrees and entered respectful professions such as accounting, beauty, business process outsourcing, dance, hospitality management, luxury cuisine, medical compounding, nursing, photography, retail, social work, and teaching. Apart from becoming financially independent, they have assisted their mothers in quitting the sex trade and supported their siblings education expenses.
