They aren’t missing. They were taken. In India, thousands of children vanish every year—not into thin air, but into brothels, bonded labour, begging rackets, and brick kilns. Their laughter is silenced. Their names are erased. Their innocence is sold—for a price cheaper than cattle. This is not a tragedy. This is a crime. A crime we see. A crime we refuse to ignore. Basta Foundation is rescuing what the world abandoned. We work with local networks to trace missing children, offer legal aid, rehabilitate survivors, and ensure they get education, care, and dignity—not chains. 🛑 A child is not a commodity. Every rescue is a rebellion. Every saved life is a victory.
