JOIN NOMI NETWORK FOR AN EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY:
Human trafficking is a debilitating disease that disproportionally affects women and girls around the world. In India, more than 18 million are living in slavery due to the prevalence of social and economic prejudices against women and girls. Early child marriage, bride burnings, and laws that keep women and girls from achieving financial independence ensure that the cycles of poverty and abuse continue.
Since 2011, Nomi Network has strategically placed sites in red-light districts, areas of migration and temporary work, and economically limited communities so that an empowered and educated new workforce could make waves of change. From teaching them of their rights to empowering them with technical skills to pursue their first jobs, witness the transformative, intergenerational change Nomi Network has created.
On this informative trip, you will learn about the struggles women and girls face every day, how Nomi Network is building a sustainable solution, and what this systemic approach has accomplished to date.
Alongside Nomi Network, you will meet women and girls who are building their futures through Nomi Network’s Rural Workforce Development Program which incorporates the following:
- Economic empowerment
- Job creation
- Train the trainer and micro enterprises
