Dr. Sunitha Krishnan is an Indian social activist chief functionary and co-founder of Prajwala, an institution that assists trafficked women and girls in finding shelter. The organization also helps pay for the education of 5,000 children infected with HIV/AIDS in Hyderabad.



Prajwala's "second-generation" prevention program operates in 17 transition centers, and has served thousands of children of prostituted mothers. The NGO's strategy is to remove women from brothels by giving their children educational and career opportunities. Krishnan and her staff train survivors in carpentry, welding, printing, masonry and house-keeping.
