HELP’S Initiatives
About HELP
A team of socially motivated individuals consisting of journalists, lawyers, doctors, social scientists etc., came together and
decided to promote and strengthen the anti-arrack movement initiated by women in Nellore district in the year 1992. This team
very intensively involved in the above task till the prohibition of arrack had been imposed in the state of Andhra Pradesh. At
the meeting of the above team, which was held at Nellore in 93, it was unanimously decided that the members should form
themselves into an association to attend to the welfare and protection of the Rights of the marginalized and Vulnerable women
and children in the society.
Thus, HELP came into existence in the year 1993. HELP with other like-minded NGOs in '94, initiated work on the issues of
commercial sex workers’ in the Coastal Andhra Pradesh.
The main objective of HELP is to stop child prostitution, trafficking and second- generation prostitution. The goal of HELP is
promoting social justice and social development in relation to issues of crime and victimization. HELP focuses on the long
term social change goal within the context of organized prostitution in the red-light areas of Coastal Andhra Pradesh.
THE WORK OF HELP:
HELP is based in red-light areas located in Narasaraopet, Chilkaluripet, Guntur, Mangalagiri and Tenali (Guntur Dist) &
Ongole, Chirala (Prakasam Dist). HELP works with all individuals/Groups involved in the phenomenon of prostitution, be they
victims or perpetrators of prostitution. HELP sees the group of prostituted women as victims and various agents in the prostitution
market such as brothel-keepers, pimps, customers, shop-keepers, etc., as perpetrators. HELP also perceives certain
persons as vulnerable to prostitution, which is either vulnerability to being prostituted or vulnerability to becoming a perpetrator.
The work of HELP comprises of simultaneous action at three main levels of work :
> Amelioration of situation >
Rescue & rehabilitation >
Prevention

HELP had undertaken a number of initiatives to prevent trafficking at
the well-known Red-light areas of Guntur district with the coalition of
AGS under CTHAPAP program supported by Plan India. The project
had been implemented from 2004 to 2009.
The activities initiated in the intervention areas with the involvement
of youth originated for several evolutions in A.P The knowledge levels
of the general public and Government departments on trafficking
issue were very low before 2004. So HELP organised a number of
awareness campaigns to sensitize them on trafficking issues.
Community vigilance groups and mothers committees were formed
and strengthened to identify and address trafficking incidences. HELP
established linkages with line departments and intensified its advocacy
and lobbying efforts with them. Several rescue operations were
conducted with the support of police and media, and liberated many
victims. Also, HELP played an important role in getting the perpetrators
penalized.
We are grateful to Mr. Vinayakan, Ms. Anita kumar, Dr. P.S.Vijaya

could not have been so successful. We are encouraged by the

Introduction:
Andhra Pradesh is one of the high supply states (refer: National Human Rights Report 2001 & USAID Report). A
survey conducted by the National Commission for women in 1997 projects approximately 40% representation of
A.P among persons trafficked for sexual exploitation. 24- 85% of women in prostitution in other cities/metros belong
traditionally to AP (Trafficking for commercial Sexual Exploitation, AP - A Situation Report by Prajwala) 26% of the
women or girls enter into the trade between the age range of 14-16years, 20%between 16-18 years and 16% before
the age of 14years of age. (Study on Status of Sex workers & their children in Prostitution in Coastal Andhra
Pradesh - by HELP)
The large prostitution areas of coastal A.P. are Chilkaluripet, Guntur, Mangalagiri, Narasarao Pet, and Tenali of
Guntur district and many other small towns and villages in the district. It was identified that wherever the Dommara
community (Nomadic tribe) is located, the area becomes an ideal ground for prostitution. People of this Dommara
Community maintain brothel houses and also are involved in prostitution. Prostitution is engrained as a traditional
way of life for generations among semi-nomadic tribes such as Dommara .Yerukalasani and Vaddera in this district.
About the Project
The CTHPAP (Child Trafficking and HIV/AIDS in Andhra Pradesh) had its genesis in several studies that exposed
the vulnerabilities of children and women in the coastal Andhra Pradesh. In these studies, pimps and madams of
brothel houses had mentioned their ‘modus operandi’ that they would recruit ‘fresh cases’ from villages. Against this
background, the CTHPAP project was launched by Plan International (later transferred to a new legal entity of
Plan India) through AGS Coalition of 20 NGOs, in January 2004 in 300 communities spread across 10 districts of
Andhra Pradesh. The goal of CTHPAP is to reduce the number of children trafficked and halt the spread of HIV/
AIDS in 10 districts of Andhra Pradesh.
HELP, being one of the coalition partners, initiated this project in Guntur district. The major focus of HELP had been
on women & children in prostitution and on red-light areas to prevent second generation from being trafficked.
The three major principles of CTHAPAP were
O
Activization of civil societies to prevent Child Trafficking and HIV/AIDS in Andhra Pradesh.

Guntur, Sept 28: For the first
. time in the State, anti-trafficking
; squad will be set up in the dis
trict, SP Mahesh Chandra
• Laddha has said.
: Participating in a training
programme for police on 'Anti
Human Trafficking’ organised
•byAPPAhere today, the SP said
^compared to other districts in
;the State, trafficking menace
was more in the district. As
many as 70 to 80 cases were
reported last year. Many of them
were provided with employ
ment, the SP said and opined
that at least three cops in each
police station would be trained
in tackling anti-trafficking cases,
registering of cases under strin
gent sections and shifting of the
rescued women to rescue
homes.
He praised the role of volun
tary organisations in assisting
the police in rehabilitating the
victims. People’s participation
was a must for curbing the traf
ficking menace and the police
could do little in the absence of
their help, the SP observed.
State anti-trafficking commit
tee member and HELP secretary
Nimmaraju Rammohana Rao
hoped that the training pro
gramme would help the police
to know under which sections
the traffickers be booked so that
he would not go scot free by
exploiting holes in the law.
Another important factor was to
motivate the victims to depose
in the court, he added.
. Assistant public prosecutor
Devdas, ASP Diwakar and DSP
Rajendranath were present.
rl
Notwithstanding the police SV
efforts to rescue women from 1
the clutches of traffickers, the )
latter still haunt the rescued(
women. V Ramadevi of
Agathavarappadu on the city \
outskirts was rescued from a I
flesh den in Chennai this month. |
When she was produced in a
court there, the judge asked a
voluntary organisation Self
Trust there to collect informa
tion about die girl. The organisa- (
tion contacted HELP in Guntur
to furnish details of the girl, as
she belonged to Guntur.
Meanwhile, the traffickers
applied for a bail to Ramadevi on
behalf of her modier furnishing
wrong details. HELP secretary
said that the traffickers were so
ruthless that they are still pursu
ing her even after she is in legal
custody.

GUNTUR: Network /Xgainst

Parliamentary Committee on
Human Resources Develop
ment on Amendment not to
license prostitution in the
counlrv in the name of tack
ling H1V/AIDS.
At a press conference here
by a group of activists of VIMUKTIII, an association of
5,000 victims of prostitution,
appealed to the Government
through the mediapersons
that prostitution would be
encouraged if it was legalized
"We must find ways and
means to tackled it and root it
out, while providing better
health to those involved in
the profession. We must sen
sitise them to come out of the
profession and join the main
stream to lead a hounourable
life," said its convener Radha.
The NATSAP convener Ra
ma Mohan said that chaining
the provisions under Section
8, 20 and 5-c, should help
prosecute the customers and
victimize the prostitutes who
land in this profession due
several reasons. "Financial
instability and economic
backwardness, caste factor
and cheating by closely
known people and relatives
were the main reasons for the
women to land in thisprofes-
sion and none wanted to be in \
this for ever, though many '
politicians try to make out as‘
if the Prostitutes wanted k>
continue the profession," hit
added.
Our appeal to the Union •
Minister of State for Women
and Child Development Renuka Chouwdhury would be (
not to bow down to the influ- ‘

AIDS projects to legislate inf
