Visitations was the name of the play and trafficking of the
girl-child the theme. What does trafficking mean for the little
girl-child who is sold for a pittance by her own relatives into a life
of prostitution and bondage? Burning issues of legal reform,
legalisation of prostitution are placed in the problematic. For the
facts of trafficking the group has relied on its own experiences in
slums and red-light areas around Delhi and also taken cognisance of all -
India studies done by diverse pro-women organisations (UNIFEM,
WCD-Govt. of India and the many NGOs that the group has been working
with for many years). The play has been used as a tool for
gender-sensitisation in slums, schools, colleges, women shelters and
children’s homes.
