&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Second wave of COVID-19 forced vulnerable women to take high risk loans beyond their repaying capacity&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Kolkata: &lt;/em&gt;Months after she was rescued, 16-year-old Asma, a resident of Sunderbans in South 24 Parganas, took a loan of ₹20,000 from local moneylenders in May 2020 to rebuild her life. The first wave of COVID-19 had made it difficult to get any work. A year later, in May 2021, Ms. Asma, who was unable to repay the loan she took last year, took another loan of ₹32,000.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The second wave of COVID-19 and its related distress has pushed survivors of human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation into more debts at higher rates of interest in the year 2021 than compared 2020.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Stories like that of Ms. Asma and the debt trap that the pandemic has pushed them into have come to fore in a survey carried out by Tafteesh, a platform for anti-trafficking stakeholders.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The survey covered about 335 respondents, survivors of trafficking and sex work from West Bengal, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. A comparative analysis of the average loan taken by members of different survivors&amp;rsquo; collectives in 2020 and 2021 proves the point.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;For instance, the average loan amount for women associated with Bandhan Mukhti, a collective of survivors in West Bengal, was ₹18, 946 in 2020, which increased to ₹31,848 on an average in 2021. The maximum rate of interest increased from 18% a month in 2020 for Bandhan Mukti members to 20% a month in 2021. Similarly, for survivors of trafficking at Bijoyni, another collective, the average loan amount increased from ₹5,967 to ₹17,147, and the maximum interest rates rose from 8% in a month to 15% a month.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Both Bandhan Mukti and Bijoyni are collectives of survivors of trafficking from West Bengal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The other collectives which were a part of the study are Vimukthi from Andhra Pradesh, SAANS from Chhattisgarh, and Utthan from West Bengal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The analysis of income and loan information of 335 survivors of human trafficking, commercial sexual exploitation and sex workers from West Bengal, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh has found that 201 or 60% of them have taken some loan at a time of this study in May 2021&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; a press note by Tafteesh said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Second wave of COVID-19 forced vulnerable women to take high risk loans beyond their repaying capacity&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Kolkata: &lt;/em&gt;Months after she was rescued, 16-year-old Asma, a resident of Sunderbans in South 24 Parganas, took a loan of ₹20,000 from local moneylenders in May 2020 to rebuild her life. The first wave of COVID-19 had made it difficult to get any work. A year later, in May 2021, Ms. Asma, who was unable to repay the loan she took last year, took another loan of ₹32,000.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The second wave of COVID-19 and its related distress has pushed survivors of human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation into more debts at higher rates of interest in the year 2021 than compared 2020.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Stories like that of Ms. Asma and the debt trap that the pandemic has pushed them into have come to fore in a survey carried out by Tafteesh, a platform for anti-trafficking stakeholders.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The survey covered about 335 respondents, survivors of trafficking and sex work from West Bengal, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. A comparative analysis of the average loan taken by members of different survivors&amp;rsquo; collectives in 2020 and 2021 proves the point.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;For instance, the average loan amount for women associated with Bandhan Mukhti, a collective of survivors in West Bengal, was ₹18, 946 in 2020, which increased to ₹31,848 on an average in 2021. The maximum rate of interest increased from 18% a month in 2020 for Bandhan Mukti members to 20% a month in 2021. Similarly, for survivors of trafficking at Bijoyni, another collective, the average loan amount increased from ₹5,967 to ₹17,147, and the maximum interest rates rose from 8% in a month to 15% a month.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Both Bandhan Mukti and Bijoyni are collectives of survivors of trafficking from West Bengal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The other collectives which were a part of the study are Vimukthi from Andhra Pradesh, SAANS from Chhattisgarh, and Utthan from West Bengal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The analysis of income and loan information of 335 survivors of human trafficking, commercial sexual exploitation and sex workers from West Bengal, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh has found that 201 or 60% of them have taken some loan at a time of this study in May 2021&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; a press note by Tafteesh said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Second wave of COVID-19 forced vulnerable women to take high risk loans beyond their repaying capacity&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Kolkata: &lt;/em&gt;Months after she was rescued, 16-year-old Asma, a resident of Sunderbans in South 24 Parganas, took a loan of ₹20,000 from local moneylenders in May 2020 to rebuild her life. The first wave of COVID-19 had made it difficult to get any work. A year later, in May 2021, Ms. Asma, who was unable to repay the loan she took last year, took another loan of ₹32,000.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The second wave of COVID-19 and its related distress has pushed survivors of human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation into more debts at higher rates of interest in the year 2021 than compared 2020.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Stories like that of Ms. Asma and the debt trap that the pandemic has pushed them into have come to fore in a survey carried out by Tafteesh, a platform for anti-trafficking stakeholders.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The survey covered about 335 respondents, survivors of trafficking and sex work from West Bengal, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. A comparative analysis of the average loan taken by members of different survivors&amp;rsquo; collectives in 2020 and 2021 proves the point.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;For instance, the average loan amount for women associated with Bandhan Mukhti, a collective of survivors in West Bengal, was ₹18, 946 in 2020, which increased to ₹31,848 on an average in 2021. The maximum rate of interest increased from 18% a month in 2020 for Bandhan Mukti members to 20% a month in 2021. Similarly, for survivors of trafficking at Bijoyni, another collective, the average loan amount increased from ₹5,967 to ₹17,147, and the maximum interest rates rose from 8% in a month to 15% a month.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Both Bandhan Mukti and Bijoyni are collectives of survivors of trafficking from West Bengal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The other collectives which were a part of the study are Vimukthi from Andhra Pradesh, SAANS from Chhattisgarh, and Utthan from West Bengal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The analysis of income and loan information of 335 survivors of human trafficking, commercial sexual exploitation and sex workers from West Bengal, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh has found that 201 or 60% of them have taken some loan at a time of this study in May 2021&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; a press note by Tafteesh said.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Second wave of COVID-19 forced vulnerable women to take high risk loans beyond their repaying capacity&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Kolkata: &lt;/em&gt;Months after she was rescued, 16-year-old Asma, a resident of Sunderbans in South 24 Parganas, took a loan of ₹20,000 from local moneylenders in May 2020 to rebuild her life. The first wave of COVID-19 had made it difficult to get any work. A year later, in May 2021, Ms. Asma, who was unable to repay the loan she took last year, took another loan of ₹32,000.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The second wave of COVID-19 and its related distress has pushed survivors of human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation into more debts at higher rates of interest in the year 2021 than compared 2020.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Stories like that of Ms. Asma and the debt trap that the pandemic has pushed them into have come to fore in a survey carried out by Tafteesh, a platform for anti-trafficking stakeholders.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The survey covered about 335 respondents, survivors of trafficking and sex work from West Bengal, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. A comparative analysis of the average loan taken by members of different survivors&amp;rsquo; collectives in 2020 and 2021 proves the point.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;For instance, the average loan amount for women associated with Bandhan Mukhti, a collective of survivors in West Bengal, was ₹18, 946 in 2020, which increased to ₹31,848 on an average in 2021. The maximum rate of interest increased from 18% a month in 2020 for Bandhan Mukti members to 20% a month in 2021. Similarly, for survivors of trafficking at Bijoyni, another collective, the average loan amount increased from ₹5,967 to ₹17,147, and the maximum interest rates rose from 8% in a month to 15% a month.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Both Bandhan Mukti and Bijoyni are collectives of survivors of trafficking from West Bengal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The other collectives which were a part of the study are Vimukthi from Andhra Pradesh, SAANS from Chhattisgarh, and Utthan from West Bengal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;The analysis of income and loan information of 335 survivors of human trafficking, commercial sexual exploitation and sex workers from West Bengal, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh has found that 201 or 60% of them have taken some loan at a time of this study in May 2021&amp;hellip;&amp;rdquo; a press note by Tafteesh said.&lt;/p&gt;

Trafficking survivors took more loans at higher rates, finds study -Shiv Sahay Singh

-The Hindu Second wave of COVID-19 forced vulnerable women to take high risk loans beyond their repaying capacity Kolkata: Months after she was rescued, 16-year-old Asma, a resident of Sunderbans in South 24 Parganas, took a loan of 20,000 from local moneylenders in May 2020 to rebuild her life. The first wave of COVID-19 had made it difficult to get any work. A year later, in May 2021, Ms. Asma, who was unable to repay the loan she took last year, took another loan of 32,000. The second wave of COVID-19 and its related distress has pushed survivors of human trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation into more debts at higher rates of interest in the year 2021 than compared 2020. Stories like that of Ms. Asma and the debt trap that the pandemic has pushed them into have come to fore in a survey carried out by Tafteesh, a platform for anti-trafficking stakeholders. The survey covered about 335 respondents, survivors of trafficking and sex work from West Bengal, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. A comparative analysis of the average loan taken by members of different survivors’ collectives in 2020 and 2021 proves the point. For instance, the average loan amount for women associated with Bandhan Mukhti, a collective of survivors in West Bengal, was 18, 946 in 2020, which increased to 31,848 on an average in 2021. The maximum rate of interest increased from 18% a month in 2020 for Bandhan Mukti members to 20% a month in 2021. Similarly, for survivors of trafficking at Bijoyni, another collective, the average loan amount increased from 5,967 to 17,147, and the maximum interest rates rose from 8% in a month to 15% a month. Both Bandhan Mukti and Bijoyni are collectives of survivors of trafficking from West Bengal. The other collectives which were a part of the study are Vimukthi from Andhra Pradesh, SAANS from Chhattisgarh, and Utthan from West Bengal. “The analysis of income and loan information of 335 survivors of human trafficking, commercial sexual exploitation and sex workers from West Bengal, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh has found that 201 or 60% of them have taken some loan at a time of this study in May 2021…” a press note by Tafteesh said.
