The silent vigil expounded the message for collective action to counter trafficking.


‘World Day Against Trafficking in Persons’ is a United Nations declared day which aims to raise awareness on the disturbing developments and trends of human trafficking worldwide and calls on governments, law enforcement, public services, and civil society to assess and enhance their efforts to strengthen prevention, identify and support victims, and end impunity.

The Women’s Safety Wing of Hyderabad City Police has launched She-teams which aims at both crime prevention and deterrence breaking the cycle of impunity of offenders.
