Damayanti cannot remember her age, nor can she remember the address of the home where her parents live. Her mind has a fading visual of her parents and younger siblings. She does not know if they are all alive. She was kidnapped on her way home from the house of a friend who lived some houses away from her own. She had not even attained puberty when she had been kidnapped. After travelling to many places with an “aunty” who told her not to cry, she was finally taken to a place and sold. After many months of sexual abuse by multiple persons, she discovered she was in Bombay. Now, 30 years later, she lives in a non-descript shelter for women in Thane.
