Save Our Sisters- an Initiative of Save The Children India

The Save Our Sisters (SOS) program is the anti-human trafficking initiative of Save the Children India (STCI) which began in 1996 as a result of rehabilitating and repatriating 122 Nepali girls rescued in a raid operation from the red-light areas of Mumbai.

The SOS program was later formally incorporated in the year 2001 under an initiative known as ‘Commitment 2000’.
