Society for Help Entire Lower and Rural People (HELP)

HELP works against human trafficking across Andhra Pradesh, engaging survivors, communities, policymakers, and partner NGOs, media and academic institutions. Its work spans prevention campaigns, identifying and supporting trafficking survivors, and pushing for stronger accountability for traffickers. HELP was also among the earlier organisations in the state to take a comprehensive approach to trafficking rather than treating it as an isolated issue.
