She was sold into sexual slavery and once she escaped her family rejected her because she was a prostitute.

I have no words for my anger here. Where would she be now if Shared Hope had not found her? Most likely dead, and unmourned.

												member when she was no more than12
												years old. In the brothel in <A class="classlink" href="#">Mumbai</A>,
												she was locked in a room, tortured,
												abused and threatened with death
												if she didn't service the long
												line	of customers 24 hours
												a day. Many days she was forced
												to service	between	10 to 20
												men, facing	physical	danger
												and the threat	of deadly	diseases such as
												the common infection	of HIV/AIDS.
												After a couple	years, the owners
												became comfortable	with her.
												They thought Ganga	was too broken
												and hopeless to	resist them,
												so they stopped	keeping a close
												eye on her.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.sharedhope.org/what/storiesofhope_ganga.asp">One night she escaped, fleeing home to her village.
