Actress Mallika Sherawat says it is important to break the silence in many countries about child prostitution and the need to prosecute the offenders.
The 40-year-old actress was recently invited to Amsterdam by the Dutch organisation Free A Girl to visit their headquarters and talk about the issue of sexual exploitation of children and human trafficking.
“Now it’s time for action,” Sherawat said in a statement.
The actress also features in a documentary Free a Girl, which was shot extensively here.
“I believe that there is a need to change the conversation, to mobilise society to rally behind the girls that have fallen victim to this crime, and to demand justice,” she added.
