Our society deals with a very big problem in the form of trafficking for sexual exploitation of women. The state agencies work religiously to bust rackets and persons involved in these cases to prevent trafficking and save women. This is where the Ujjawala scheme for women’s safety comes into play.
However, saving the victim does not end the entire process as these victims find it difficult to blend into society as many times the society and even their families do not accept them. The stigma around such women needs to be removed in society. For this purpose, the government introduced the Ujjawala scheme, a women’s safety scheme. Let us read more about this govt scheme.
