Nagpur : In the narrow, dimly lit lanes of Ganga Jamuna, a place often associated with stigma, struggle, and survival, humanity shone bright on Thursday evening. A group of sex workers, accustomed to society’s scorn but not stripped of empathy, spotted a frightened 16-year-old girl from Betul, Madhya Pradesh, wandering aimlessly with a school bag on her back. The teenager, who had arrived in Nagpur earlier that day searching for a women’s hostel, had unknowingly strayed into the red-light district.

Alarm bells rang instantly in the minds of the women, Lata Moundekar, Jyoti Rathod, Pinki Dhanawat, and Priya Dhanawat. “She looked lost, like someone’s daughter trying to find her way,” one of them said, refusing to reveal her name. “We couldn’t just watch and do nothing.”
