The Aruna Project creates lifelong freedom through employment marked by holistic care to sexually enslaved women in Mumbai, India.
Starting on a grass roots level women are given the opportunity to train and work in a sewing co-op, making yoga bags.
Experts estimate that millions of people, predominantly women and children, are victims of sex trafficking in India, alone. With trafficking for sexual exploitation purposes constantly increasing… sex traffickers usually target the poorest communities. About 70% of India’s victims of trafficking are among the most deprived socio-economic groups in the country. Due to the poverty and lack of economic opportunity, some counter-trafficking agencies report that in areas as high as 8 out of 10 young women freed from sex trafficking find themselves back in the brothel system. From survivor informed discussions, Aruna is designed to catalyze freedom by our empowerment through employment model.
“We simply could not walk away from the young women suffering under the injustice of sexual exploitation. So we launched Aruna to create lifelong freedom. Not just so they are free, but so they are free and provided the opportunity to flourish. We are a brand that produces exceptional functional luxury Athleisure accessories, but the story woven into each product makes them invaluable. You’ll love knowing that you are a part of the women’s freedom stories.”
~ Ryan and April Berg, Founders
