| Description |
Impulse Social Enterprises (ISE) is a sister organization of Impulse NGO Network (INGON) which is combating human trafficking in Northeast India for 25 years. Lack of education, poverty, and porous borders are the main reasons why Northeast India is a soft target for human trafficking. ISE focuses primarily on the ‘prevention’ and ‘protection’ aspects of the model that would stop human trafficking before it happens. It has partnered with other organizations in each of the eight states of the Northeast in an effort to help six Rs: Rehabilitate, Repatriate, Reintegrate, Recompensation, Report, and Rescue of trafficking victims. ISE also realized that it was just not enough to rescue and repatriate victims, it was also important to tackle the root cause of the problem, which is abject poverty and lack of sustainable livelihood in many indigenous areas. |
