Children in the red-light area are part of a social structure where exploitation is common and prostitution is “normalized”. This is particularly true of Kamathipura in Mumbai (India), the largest red light area in Asia.
Children are vulnerable to early marriage, exploitation, prostitution, HIV infection and crime. More importantly, they live in fear of losing their mothers - their only support - to AIDS. The program for Children in Especially Difficult Situations addresses Child Rights and is located in the red light areas of Mumbai.
