Rise- Rebuilding Independence and social enterprise for bride trafficking survivors.

Project Rise Supported by Ian Macleod Distillers Ltd India, establishes a social enterprise to rebuild independence for bride trafficking survivors through entrepreneurship and community support.

The initiative provides survivors with training, mentorship and resources to start their own women-led canvas bag businesses. This enables sustainable income generation for economic empowerment and reduced vulnerability.

By producing and selling bags to partner companies, Project Rise fosters a market for the survivor entrepreneurs. It also raises awareness about bride trafficking and the importance of empowering survivors.



Additionally, the project cultivates a nurturing environment through networking opportunities between survivors and mentors. This communal support offers personal and professional growth.
Ultimately, Project Rise aims to equip bride trafficking survivors with the tools to successfully run their small businesses and reclaim independence. The social enterprise model simultaneously addresses human trafficking while promoting gender equality and social responsibility.
