In 1993, Mrs. Triveni Balkrishna Acharya, the presiding co-founder of Rescue Foundation and a former journalist landed in the lanes of Kamathipura to cover a story. Was it an inquisitive mind or an intuitive spirit, we still can’t tell – but something pushed her to explore the lanes of the Red-light area. Not knowing what to expect, she slid aside the  curtains covering a brothel’s entrance and walked in. What she saw, was a scene so stark, that it was to change the lives of thousands. Heavily painted eyelids, dark, chapping lipstick, powdered cheeks, well-aged jewellery pulling at ears and noses – all on strikingly young faces. Faces of Adolescent Girls – bought, sold, stolen from Nepal and forced into prostitution.
