Shalom Mission: An Overview
Our Mission: To give victims of exploitation the opportunity to live in freedom with dignity and equality in society through providing shelter, education, vocational training and moral and social counselling.
This mission work started in 2014 by Malayalam churches of Mumbai under the leadership of C.S.I. Madhya Kerala Diocese. Lots of young girls and women are transported to Mumbai city for human and Sex trafficking from different villages of India. They are victimized because of their social and financial conditions. Some of them are innocent victims of deceitful people. The major concern of this mission is to rescue, rehabilitate, rejuvenate, and reintegrate victims of human trafficking into society. Our Vision: “We affirm our responsibility to encourage the flourishing of traumatized women from the Red-light area of Mumbai through our engagement with society.”
