Some ways we all can become involved in fighting slavery in India:
Create Awareness
Research and become educated about the problem of slavery and, even more importantly, make others in your own circles aware of this massive problem.
Get Involved With Organizations and NGO's
Research the various organizations involved in seeking to abolish slavery in India and get involved with one that best suits your interests. Involvement can include volunteering in whatever ways are needed in that organization.
Join Or Create A Campaign
Be creative in creating your own campaign at your school, place of work, or social media to raise awareness, or join one that already exists.
Sign Or Create A Petition
To governments or manufactures demanding change
Stop Buying Products Produced Through Slavery
Many NGO's have lists of corporations, companies, and specific products that profit from slavery at some point in the supply chain. There are apps you can download to your smartphone that make it very easy to identify companies and products. Educate yourself and refuse to purchase products, including electronics, clothing, and accessories, that are involved in perpetuating slavery in India or anywhere else. This will be most effective if you let the staff, store, and companies know exactly why you will not purchase their product.
