About the Project

Prerana began its Anti-Trafficking Resource Centre in the year 2000 with the help of the US State Department. In a short span, this knowledge hub called the Anti-Trafficking Resource centre (ATC) grew in leaps and bounds addressing a variety of areas that needed better understanding, beginning with understanding how the laws related to (anti) trafficking unfolded on the ground.

Each activity of the ATC was then evolved in response to a felt need of the AHT (Anti Human Trafficking) movement. A few of the services provided by ATC are training and sensitization, research and documentation, policy consultancy, advocacy, information dissemination, amongst others. Over a period of time, the need to convert the offline resource centre to an online, all accessible centre was felt. Prerana is currently building this online resource centre: www.fighttrafficking.org We are looking out for dedicated individuals with a passion for child rights and social change to join us in our mission, those who truly believe in the power of communications to influence change and advocate for the vulnerable.
