Personal Reviews

Women as always treated like slaves nowadays sex slaves all way. who knows they working to survive their daily livelihoods. For years the women use and throw had started like bulk no end we see there for at-least breathing. All way where I come across to know mainly domestic women workers are bread earners nowadays have loaded a lot burden to look over their families. Hope the scheme will help them to get overcome of it especially to children and prostitute who have huge hope to get good days in their life.
