  • I was the first to share this video on my profile..we need such people!..the right expression of feminist activism.

  • @vjkrishn82 I don't see how this is "feminist" activism. It's children's rights, human rights activism, and some of the victims are male.

  • The least thing you can do is to share this on your profile with your friends!

  • i am proud to live in d lifetime f dis legand..

  • This seriously needs to go out to the Indian public. This needs Hindi subtitles.

  • One of the most powerful speeches I've seen. I rarely commend someone for talking about the less fortunate because mostly it's about themselves, but this lady is incredible. She puts her life on the line for the people she protects. I hope I will contribute at least a small portion of what she has contributed to the well being of others before I die.

  • Remember Nhu,

    This is a great organization

    remembernhuDOTorg

    Similar goals. Great organization, I was able to hear them talk about this before. Very eye opening. I couldn't believe slavery still existed. Even in my country!

  • Sunitha Krishnan must be congratulated, who in spite of her ordeal at such an young age has come to grips with that and is fighting to save others who may undergo the same,and what irony, in India the land where a woman is worshiped as a Goddess is at the same time subjected to such inhuman tortures at such an young age

  • jo kaminey aisa karte hai wo insaan hai? sale chutiye

    jisko bi mera comment spam karna hai kar dena ,lekin mere pas behetar shabd nehi hai

  • *crying*

  • Who the fuck disliked this video?? I mean how dumb or mean one has to be to dislike not only this video but any TED video? One advice for all those assholes... get a life!

  • LOL "sold his child for pornography"

    ohh the irony.

  • Well done Sunitha,you are a brave woman,and we respect you for your work and dedication.

  • All exploitation,all forms of slavery,all sorts of oppression will end with a complete revamping of the current social,political,economic systems. The problems highlighted by Dr Sunitha are global,and outrightly outrageously condemnable,but the real solution lies not only in our individual efforts,but in our concerted joint struggle to throw away the capitalistic,feudalistic ruling elites,which patronise such barbarianism .

  • 23 dislikes are ruthless pedophiles....

  • sunita; krishnan's dedication is surely a humanitarian. it is truth.

  • Hatred and abuse of women is historical. The result is humanity s heartlessness . An old story. It goes on even now in all countries.

  • OMG.!!! 23 dislikes..... cant belive it......

  • As an aspiring civil servant, i wanted to have such people play a greater role in the training module for IAS, IPS officers sothat the much-needed sensitisation is done...

    Not only an inspiring talk but a great change-making request. I stand at her sides for all support. i would also disseminate the message of hers' to maximum people possible...

  • Really appreciate you for your cause, and the way you not only uplifted yourself being victim but had helped so many to come out of the trauma. How can we help your cause.

  • I want to help u Sunitha!!!

  • @restfulwarrior - you are a complete moron

  • Really appreciate what Sunita is doing. I am also ashamed there are such beasts among us men. I hope these men contract HIV from whatever they did and die an agonising death.

  • What a wonderful woman.

  • We aren't just humans anymore, we're living among savage animals slowly transforming into beasts of mercilessness. This video is just an example for that, how can anyone rape a four year old! Bah! :'(

  • @ramisdmaruvada true

  • Hats off to you madam.

  • In Iran rapists, child molesters, traffickers get death sentence. It should be implemented everywhere.

  • I doubt the sanity of those who disliked this video. I mean who would wanna do that?

    WTF

  • OMG !!! I nearly cried .... HATS OFF TO HER ....

  • great speech... i really aprreciate her, b'coz i'm a girl..

  • This is the saddest thing I have ever heard of ....I SALUTE Sunitha!!!!!! If just 1 person would help just 1 what a world of differance it would make to improve the life of these VICTIMS not outcast God Bless you Mam' May you recieve strenght and support for many!! count me in as 1!!! LET THEIR VOICES BE HEARD!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • And I thought that the conspiracy of silence about autism was bad. This is even worse.

  • It's Christopher Columbus.

  • Awsome Short Video

  • 22 people are the bastards who involved in human trafficking !!!

    Its time we support ppl like Sunitha .! Hats off to yu mam for your courage and humanity .!

  • good luck to sunitha and her mission. 

  • kudos to u sunitha for the magnificent work you have done............god bless u give u more strenght n courage to help more destitutes n bring an end to this filth.i wish all men awake listening to ur talk n try to behave human............ but s this video was really disturbing as it unleashed the raw truths bout how the world we are living in is...............

  • Disturbing!!!!!!..Whats going on...??!!!

  • @restfulwarrior

    You need to evolve. I highly suggest you take the time to read some challenging books...because you're a moron.

  • i wish you best of luck for your mission

  • Great! HAts off for you Sunitha

  • This is the best speech I have ever heard to .Its from her heart.

  • Best of luck, for this noble cause.

  • Best of luck, for this noble cause.

  • Your reaction with patience has converted your anger into a great strength similar to how Bapu Gandhi reacted to the ignominy at the hands of TTE while travelling in upper res for whites only. Had he reacted there and then by retaliating like Bose, who slapped his white professor for smaller thing, he could have never become Mahatma Gandhi. May God bless you with even greater strength. What really is required at other quarters is Proactive Measures to reduce such acts. Preetam Singh Thakur.

  • You are strong ,keep going ! surely doing something which is utmost necessary.Proud that you work towards the solution of these atrocious problems women face.

    best of luck !

  • It's very sad luking at this video...but whats the use INDIA law is not that strict.

    As long as LAW is not strict she would see this kind of incidents now and then.

  • Comment removed

  • @JohnAntonyFortune Actually, ur commentary fails... this is not a mans world, and u must watch porn, every and every time, cause, you cant actually fuck with a woman... Dude we all know ur a fucking troll around here, and ive seen ur comments in other videos and i have to say to u, ur lame..

  • I'm so Proud of you Sunitha...All the best for your work.....

  • One-third of sex trafficking victims in the USA (yes, it also happens in the US...) are discovered by individual citizens, NOT the police. Maybe it's not just the police abroad, that are corrupt...hmmmm...

    Thanks for posting this powerful video. We can all do something about it.

  • this is the best, most powerful speech ive ever heard. im only sad that its true.

  • Capitalism(Free market) is the safe harbor of modern day slavery.

    As long as markets are not regulated...

    "Where there's demand, there will be supply" in the form of human resources !

  • It is not just men that cause this problem. There are both men and women who stand by and let this happen.

    to member 091040 - not every thing is fair and this certainly isn't 

  • Here every thing is fair honey ! DAMM SUNITA KRISHNAN

  • hats off also

  • Dr. Sunitha... Great job!!! Hats off to you n wish you all the very best in ur efforts. Indians are really proud of ur work...Keep going

  • she is an angel from god .may god bless her

  • @khan88sahab yes

  • Comment removed

  • im proud of u dr God bless u and may u continue ur good work.

  • Sick world we live in. SICK WORLD.

  • im ashamed of being indian

  • How can anyone justify disliking this?

  • The Indian pseudo culture ,pseudo values ,pseudo morals are responsible for creating such hooligans .If you look at other developed nations there the prostitution ,pre marital sex and homo-sexualism, are legal . The rehabilation of victims and the counseling of people (those involved) should go hand in hand .

  • Dear Sunita you are doing an angel's job .99% of Indians will support you in this .I understand that you provide rehabilitation to the victims ,provide shelter to those were ostracized from their community

    But do u think this will help preventing these kind of barbarian acts ? Are you also taking steps in counseling those who involved in these acts ? have you ever analyzed why human beings are involved in such uncivilized acts ?.

  • God bless her and her group of iron wome..Spread the word as much as we can

  • a big... salute to Dr.Sunitha_Krishnan

  • i luv this women for her efforts towards the society

  • Salute to Sunitha Krishnan!

  • 18 retards dislike this video......they may be human trafickers or uncle pimps

  • @contactnithin

    They may even be one of the frequenters to brothels.

    OR

    Rapists..

    Worse, because the person who speaks is unchaste/impure and was from the brothels

  • The most moving and humbling speech I have heard or watched in recent times.

  • Comment removed

  • she s not a woman....an angel....great mam....

  • WHAT AN AMAZING WOMAN..........

  • shocked after watching this..!!!!

  • we should fight against modern days of slavery

  • Sunitha krishnan, you inspired me mam.

    There isnt anything that is impossible guys...!! Lets do our bit and change the world... :) Lets join our hands to Save our SISTERS :)

  • I salute u sunita krishnan, May the lord help you in your noble endeavour...

  • I'm sick of humans!!

  • Dr Sunita, you are the one of the most inspiring person I have ever heard........simply thank you LORD for sending an angel like her to save this innocent children

  • hats off to u ma'am....people like u can change this society...

  • I salute this lady..Hats-off. ..Such a powerful and logical speech..

  • It isn't always easy to share this story to another person. The act of sexually exploiting a child is so horrid to be even spoken of. Just when i was thinking this way, Sunitha replies "Break ur culture of silence!!" :'(

  • hats off to sunita krishnan...

  • spread for humanity

  • What kind of a person would have disliked looking at a video so true, so strong?

    Sad...  God bless this woman!

  • @jazzmelamb it definitely must be the people that is involved one way or another in this horrible act.

  • @pwiddag ...shame on you dear..

  • @searchbu123 im not against the cause!

  • Any contacts of this gr8 lady

  • @connect2sooraj she has a website and lots of donation oppurtunities

  • outstanding sunitha...u have touched many hearts...

  • This is one of the best speech i ever heard. I really appreciate what she doing, All the best sunitha

  • this is probably the best ted talk i heard. powerful speech, sad subject tho.

  • super madem super ur soo greate

  • You return dignity to the human spirit. thank You, God bless.

  • Bravo Sunitha,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I wish to Become U!

  • salute to Sunitha !

  • We Cannot Stop This From Happening Because Its Happening All Around The Globe! But! WE CAN MAKE A CHANGE! WE CAN MAKE THINGS IF NOT 'ALOT', A LITTLE BETTER! Imagine If You Were These People Or If These Children Were YOUR Children! How Would You Feel To Be Ignored, Stigmatized & Isolated. This Lady Inspired Me, I No Longer Feel Alone, I Want To Help, I Want To Make A Change!

  • I admire Sunitha's guts to address this social stigma prevailing in our society openly. My experience says that the good and evil are just like the two sides of a coin. We can address these problems and minimise the situation. But then unless and until we eradicate poverty and illiteracy from the society, these issues will continue to remain. Money (evil) will lure the poor and the rich will dominate them in order to safe guard their family.

  • the picture at 5:58 looks exactly like one i saw of a chinese woman after being beaten by police .......

    

  • i wish all the armed forces would quit their jobs and dedicate themselves to a wrohty cause like this, instead of fighting the so called war on terrorism

  • nobody cares there milions people dying every day so...

  • In this world, the same men can worship a female deity on one side and humiliate women on the other.I am amazed that in a world like this, a woman is fighting for these victims. Applauding someone so great is a very small thing to do, because what she is doing is way more than amazing. What we can do is support her in this journey and hope that one day no daughter or sister or wife is sold, hurt or bruised in the name of sex trafficking. God bless you Sunitha for the wonderful work you do.

  • The woman Sunitha mentions who says, "Not one of our girls" needs to realize that these are VICTIMS, not criminals! That same woman will entertain the rapist (who is the real criminal) for dinner and not feel bad about it. This discrimination against victims is only prevalent in sex crimes, because the sympathizer feels "tainted" with the shame of the victim. Strange world!

  • the best way of helping this or most of the issues in the world is when we abolish the money system. where everything is for free like education, food, water, electricity, accommodation, medical health care, all the best doctors ( i bet that DR which is giving those talk in the video earns great money, in away it does help the patient but it also makes a middle class family financially unstable by paying an amount of money for every session), and the list goes on and on. so no money = no issues

  • the last part of speech, what she told is very true. we talk, we make documentries..but when it comes to us, we try to neglect those people. Thats because of our society that we live. We think what our society will talk about our family or friends, when they bring one such lady as a home-worker to our homes. Our country is more towards society oriented rather oriented towards individual person's mind or independence of action.

  • And When one someone stops bothering about the words of society then there comes a change of breeze...

    She really deserved a standing ovation...

    

  • I AM SO SICK OF MEN AT TIMES!!

  • i agree kids need more care and support in this case.

    but not i disagree with women in this case,

    if a woman want be a whore, so she deserve what she get

    we should make programs to help Men not to do anything with a prostitute

    it's like a Drugs, before you blame the user, you need to get rid of the Drug dealer first

    so we should get Rid of the Prostitute first, then start put the blame on Men after

    why should i care of this women images if she choose the prostitution easy money!!

  • sorry, a women doing a heavy construction Job? i never see anyone in my whole life, and if there's some, how many precent ?

  • Sunitha you are doing a great Job. U are an inspiration and a role model for the people who are unknowingly dumped into this business.Best wishes with your organisation.Hope atleast listening to your talk,people open up their crooked Indian minds.

  • omg terrorist!... jk... not really.. maybe a little

  • This is the Age of Kali

    These Sinners are the Slaves of Him

    That explains all

  • The thing that's hard to understand about the 2nd child's story.....is the disembowelment. Its probably the most horrific focal point of the video...... I guess a passing train clipped her or something..... Sweet little angels, bless their soul.

  • I could not concentrate on anything after seeing this video which is so alarming and heart breaking. We are reaching to stars and moons but we are also degrading to this level of inhumanity at the same time. Sunita you are the Super Hero of the decade I want to be part of your campaign and would like to serve the nation in educating people all around globe

  • Sunitha.............I salute you!!!!

  • Male dominant world? Did you know that women have lower unemployment than men at the moment? Did you know they're starting to obtain more education and higher degrees than men? Take another look at the statistics, people. And women in Germany are legally allowed to be prostitutes. Crime is lower there, and the women use protection, such as condoms. Guess what? There is always another side to the story. Rape is obviously wrong. But don't keep pushing B.S. that the world is dominated by men.

  • @RobotBadger : Yes...for your information, India is a maile dominant world... you cannot compare the situation of Germany and India. Try to understand the circumstances and background...

  • watch at least one............

    great message...

  • thats terrible, ppl without any values do it n thats why education is needed , coz a ignorant one walking within the society , is pernicious with each passing day n is a threat weather we agree or we dont

    peace

  • Hats off to you Sunitha Krishnan... I am a male. But am a great supporter of equal opportunities to both sex in this male dominant world... . and am here to convey this information of sexual exploitation of girls.. I ll not b ashamed.... Hats off to you once again...

  • I hope all those men get their dicks cut off and shoved into their eye sockets

    and every man or woman who ever rapes.

    I hope this video helps people's eyes open up and stop ostracizing those who need their help

  • I am Indian and I am ashamed of that filthy country I come from. This is the worst country on the planet, which had 2000 years of child marriage, abuse of women.

  • @LogicalFlawDetector there are far more worser countries than india that have no respect women! every country has these promblems! n india is one of them! i

  • Much Love and Respect for You Sunitha Krishnan, and i agree with you 100%, for your right fight against sex slavery. Be blessed.

  • What makes men do this, that's what I'd like to know.

  • Tears in my eyes..I feel ashamed that i was born as a man...I ll definitely do something that i can do for these helpless angels...Even i was raised by my mother with food , shelter, education and she gave me all that i have needed,,she is the true God ,,that i see every day in my life..I dont even know that these things r happening in this poor world..I ll fancy my life ,,if i get to kill some of those barbarians who does these things......The women in this video is sent by GOD.

  • wow...so powerful!

  • Those Men are BITCHES and DIRTY They born to get erection and come , nothing else

    Just Like a trash .

    men who think that women are things are priceless than a dirty trash

    I'm just a boy who wanna sa something ; )

  • ew.....wtf

  • we all know that these men are dirty dalit bastards and now real men Brahmins.

  • @privateer013  asshole i dont need god to tell me if somethings wrong or not..You have no life. starting shit with people..Loser ass niggas like you..

  • @kamal187 I'm not the religious one douche-bag you are. You said god bless this. O_o anyone who needs religion is a loser and is mentally weak and cannot go on with out grasping on to something to go on in. 2) is a weak mined sheep who follows the rules of religious zealots. And i'm not the one who's a lying sack of shit either. G'day faggot.

  • Jesus

  • Can't believe people ARE SO STUPID! Porn doesn't cause sexual slavery. If that's the case, then what kind of porn were the Romans watching back in the day? What porn were the Greeks, the Chinese, the Egyptians, the French, etc watching hundreds if not thousands of years ago?

    Prostitution has existing since the beginning of man. How do you blame that on porn? In fact the more you try and supress NATURAL HUMAN NEED for sex, the worse it gets and you get Catholic priests fucking little boys. Nice

  • amazing woman

  • Wow. This is awful.

  • Soabs!!

  • passionate talk... I am really moved ....

  • Perhaps James Cameron or Speilberg could make movies about child sex industry, that would get a lot of attention.

    Well, I'm dreaming here...

  • I never heard of her or what she does before, but this is the kind of a woman i would respect from the bottom of my heart. The passion and the courage she has for her mission is unbeleivable. She's kind of a mother teresa for woman she fights for. I hope you acheive in saving most of the woman in india frm these horrible places and more importantly educate ppl to stop it hapaning ang hope the govt takes notice in this important issue. All the best
