In April 2023, Kranti (NGO) faced its 8th eviction in 10 years. They were given 15 minutes to pack our belongings before we ended up on the street. They spread out across the street, some of them housed temporarily in the homes of Kranti supporters and donors, but several went back to their mothers in the brothels. Sadly enough, it’s usually one of Kranti’s beautiful success stories that often triggers an eviction - the moment that people find out they are not average neighbors but actually a shelter home, they are immediately evicted. But in April, Kranti finally decided to purchase a permanent home in hopes that they will never have to face the trauma of eviction or homelessness again. They are in the process of purchasing a space in Dharamshala which will be a home and school for hundreds of future Krantikaris.
