One such woman is Ayesha from Mysore, who fought her way out of a bad marriage and being forced into prostitution, as she is now refusing to stop at anything.

Married off at the age of 18, Ayesha’s ordeal begin when her in-laws started torturing her for dowry and aborted her child when she got pregnant. But things turned worse when her husband took her to a place saying her it was for a job, and sold her to a brothel instead.
