Sindoor: Bride Bazaar

Meet Shabnam, You see that barcode on her ? What more do I tell you ? .....

Shabnam was barely 13 years old when a ‘Didi’ visited her home in a tiny village in the mountains. The ‘Didi’ convinced Shabnam to come to the city with her.

“Is the city beautiful ? What kind of food do they eat ? Does it rain there ? Will i get to wear new clothes ? " asked a 13-year-old with sparkling eyes....

She was told that it’s a ‘magical’ place from where she could see the Taj Mahal.

One day, they embossed a barcode on her. and she was sold off the next day.

Many such girls with big dreams and wishes, get caught in the flesh trade, every moment, every day.
