Four minor boys had been trafficked to a cloth dying factory where they were forced to live and work around the clock with minimal breaks. They were physically assaulted when they became tired and exhausted. When a JVI Justice Hub and local authorities raided the factory, they found the four boys in desperate conditions.
Once the boys were free, Justice Hub lawyers got to work on their behalf to make sure they received access to services and benefits offered to survivors.
After five months, the persistence of Justice Hub lawyers paid off.
The four boys were provided release certificates that serve as official documentation declaring an individual free from slavery. With these certificates, survivors can receive immediate financial assistance. One of the survivors plans to use his assistance to start a local business.
The Justice Hub team is currently assisting the survivors in opening bank accounts and working on securing back wages from their traffickers.
