Juliana: 
	 
	 I am coming from ARZ (Anyay Rahit Zindagi) situated in
	 redlight area of Vasco da Gama.  Our main area of work is in
	 trafficking which we consider a crime. We work with
	 prostitutes, pimps, brothel keepers, vulnerable women and
	 children. We have two programs		  

		  o Anti-trafficking 
		  o Women's issues:  rights, health etc.  
		  
	 Trafficking Prevention program- the goal is to prevent the
	 children from getting into prostitution.  We have number of
	 contact points/centers for these children. 
	 
	 We work with the system, reslience building in these
	 children,
		Skills: Tailoring program
		Health: Counseling for behavioural issues
		Education: 
		Recreational activites:
		
         We try to see their vulnerability is reduced.  The children
         with we work with are: 
	      slum children, 
	      brothel keepers children
	      pimp and prostitutes children, 
	      children who beg (usually from AP and KN) 

         When we started working with the children, the parents did
         not care.  Then we moved into the phase where the parents
         said "oh Arz is there to take care of us". Now we are moving
         into a phase where the parents are beginning to become
         independent from ARZ. We are there to guide them but we are
         at the behind the scenes. We also work with system-
         educational system- we pay monthly school visits to get the
         progress of the children.  Arz is the link between the school
         and the parents.  Work with the police-especially in case of
         the runaway children.  Tailoring programs- Arz began to work
         with the adolescent children. This was the skill that the
         community demanded. We work with the girls on changing the
         behavioural pattern.  We focus on community participation,
         making the government work.  We do prevention work to reduce
         the entry of girls into prostitution. We have filed cases
         against brothel keepers.  
	 
	 Basic achievements of rehabilitation and rescue programs: 

	 	 Slum dwellers were from KN who had religious
	 	 dedication-this has stopped.
	 
		Reduction of children [entering prostitution]
		
		Control of exploitation.
		( get the list from the hand out) 

Q How many people have you encountered who wanted to come out of
  prostiution? 

Juliana: The main thing that makes them come out is that the
	 exploitation- they do not get food, money and are physical
	 abuse.  

Q: Will punishment be a solution for this problem-Chandravel?  

Juliana: It acts as a detrrent.  

Q: There are women who want to be in prostitution. All the women
   ask what am I going to do coming out?  

Juliana: That is why we look for different rehab programs.  In Goa
	 there are no rehabilitation policies.
