Sadly, across the world we have seen an increase in abuse against vulnerable girls and young women. This can take the form of domestic abuse, forced marriages and human trafficking. It is estimated that a third of women will have experienced physical and sexual violence, mostly at the hands of their partner. The illegal trade in humans is second only to the drugs trade in terms of profitability, it is worth an estimated $100bn per annum, more than the profits of Nike, Intel, Google, Microsoft and Starbucks combined. The impact on the women is immense, leading to physical and mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, emotional distress and eating disorders. Kindled Spirit dedicates it work to support, educate and counsel the female victims of abuse. Due to the heritage of Kindled Spirit, our current focus is India. We currently partner with Kshamata a charity based in Mumbai, who support our goals and objectives. We provide funding and advisory support.
