Meet Ajeet Singh

Ajeet Singh

Meet Ajeet singh, A positive human who is helping ladies in flesh trade and giving them a new life, new hope. When Ajeet was 17 years old he was distraught to see a sex worker dance all night, getting lewd comments at his cousin’s marriage. 

He convinced the woman that he would take care of her children. Moreover, he brought them home against his parents’ wishes and put them in school. Not to mention, he was disheartened, however, when their mother took them away. This was when the fire in his belly had been lit. With no degree or experience in social work, he set out to give a new life to sex workers and their children.

In addition, he started going to the red light areas of Varanasi to teach the children of the women who worked there. But he soon realized that the problem was much more complex than he had thought.

After he started rescuing the girls, Ajeet decided the next step was to take on the pimps and brothel keepers. They played a key role in the prostitution racket. “Even the police did not do anything and we thought it was time to bring this issue out in the open,” he says.

Guria

So, apart from rescuing girls, Ajeet started taking legal action against the sex traffickers. Through his organization, Guria, he has filed about 1,400 cases against traffickers. It also has even landed many of them in jail.

Another area of focus is to get the rescued girls to the court for trials. Witness protection, mock trials, and counseling is provided. They are encouraged to speak up about the wrong that has been done to them. Over 108 girls are currently being protected and hidden at various locations to get them ready for trial.
