Sex buyers and the traffickers used, violated, and beat her, causing some of the most excruciating physical and emotional pain a human can go through for years. And then Kajari found out she was pregnant—with a girl.
She knew what it would mean to bring a girl into the world she was trapped in, but she saw no other choice, and she gave birth to Maya.* Six years later, Kajari began to notice the men looking at Maya the same way they looked at her.
Something clicked for her then: she had to find a way out of this life for her daughter. She contacted an Atlas Free Network Member who was able to take Maya to the safety of their children’s home, where Kajari knew she would live in safety and have a bright future.
