Sushmita (34) regularly listens to 3 Angels Community Radio. She and her husband work as laborers and can only earn money on days when they can find work. Recently, she came into the station with her son and shared her story.
She was frequently offered work in hotels abroad by people. “As I began listening to the radio, I began to feel that you can trust no one. I understand now that there exist people who lure women into sex slavery with false promises of earning money. It is difficult to resist temptation when economic conditions are weak. People easily fall for it. I have become more conscious of the risks because of what I hear on the radio”, shared Sushmita to the radio team.
The radio station has been a shining light of optimism since the start of the global pandemic, offering listeners solace, resources, and vital knowledge to help them through this time of uncertainty. Through their broadcasts, people have been able to hear words of encouragement and connect with emergency services for food aid, legal counsel, and mental health support.

As many people have lost their jobs, a lot have been suffering from mental issues, a number of families are not able to put food on their plates, and the risk of trafficking is continuously increasing. Out of desperate need, some may be resorting to selling sexually explicit materials online, while some may be easily lured to crossing the borders illegally in search of foreign employment.
