The Aruna Project is an organization with a dual purpose: they free women in India's sex industry by providing alternative employment and engage the public with the issue through a series of 5k races. The founder, Ryan Berg, is from the United States and shares below the importance of indigenous leadership when working in different cultures.
The intersection of gender-based violence and MMIWG is heavily intertwined. It is important to understand the connection between domestic, dating, and sexual violence and the high incidence of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls (MMIWG) in the United States.
