Fatima Khatun

Fatima Khatun is an indomitable embodiment of strength and resilience. Despite enduring immense challenges and traumas as a survivor of human sex trafficking from a young age, she has dedicated her life to fighting against this heinous crime. Her mission is to rescue, emancipate, and support girls trafficked into the red-light areas of Forbesganj in the Indo-Nepal border region.

Beyond being a survivor, Fatima refuses to let her past traumas define her. Instead, she serves as a beacon of hope, fearlessly standing against inter-generational prostitution and systemic exploitation of young girls in her nomadic community. Her determination and selflessness make her a true hero.

Fatima Khatun's story is incredibly powerful and inspiring, showcasing her unwavering commitment to making a difference in the lives of others. Her work stands as a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the potential to bring about positive change, even in the face of adversity.
