My Trip to India
Odanadi Home for Trafficked Women and Girls
Odanadi holds a special place for women who have come to be survivors. Learning about such circumstances shed light on a topic I was not aware of. During my visit, I learned about victims and their stories. Odanadi means a soulmate, someone who walks with you, hand in hand, through life. This organization strives to provide the pathway for survivors and their future in reclaiming back the life they once had.
