I watched Slumdog Millionaire the other night and like the rest of the world, loved it. I especially loved the ending. Yeah, the whole "Jai Ho" song and dance number had me out of my seat trying to move with it; it's infused with a lot of soul. More than that, the journey of the character Latika brings me joy. Here's a young woman who as a tiny child is abducted into the sex trafficking industry, then rescued, only to be victimized again. Through it all, she's scarred: on her face and in her soul. Yet she finds love, joy, and redemption. (O.K., it's Hollywood, but still....)
Love 146 is making real life redemption stories amidst tremendous scarring, as they provide what they call "aftercare" - a healing journey - to girls rescued from trafficking.
