Introduction

You can see that many girls fall into forced prostitution. This article explains prostitution rehabilitation and a victim rehabilitation program called Shubhdevi. Also, it talks about a women rescue mission and social rehabilitation steps. I will use simple words. I will give facts, examples, and easy steps. For example, we will look at how rescue, counseling, vocational training, and marriage are part of the plan. 

What is the Shubhdevi Mission? (Shubhdevi and prostitution rehabilitation)

Shubhdevi is a project run by followers of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh. It aims to save girls from prostitution. The mission says it adopts girls. Then it helps them leave the old life. The mission focuses on social rehabilitation and victim support. Also, it offers a way to rebuild life through marriage in some cases.

- Goal: End exploitation and give a new start.
- Main steps: Rescue, shelter, counseling, skill training, marriage or independent living.
- Related goals: women empowerment, anti-human trafficking, and social welfare.

The program follows clear steps. Each step helps survivors feel safe. Simple actions make a big change.

1. Rescue and initial safety
- Teams locate victims or accept calls.
- Girls are taken to a safe house or rehabilitation center.

2. Medical check-up and legal support
- Doctors examine and treat health issues.
- Legal aid is offered for police cases and identity papers.

3. Counseling and psychology
- Counselors build trust.
- Therapy helps survivors heal from trauma.
- For example, one girl learns to sleep without fear.

4. Vocational training and education
- Vocational training teaches tailoring, computer, or baking.
- Education classes help girls finish school.
- You can see that skills give money and dignity.

5. Social rehabilitation and reintegration
- Girls learn social skills and rights.
- They meet families when safe.
- Small jobs or business help them stay independent.

6. Marriage as an option
- In some cases, marriage is proposed as a step toward normal life.
- This is done only with consent and proper checks.
- The aim is social rehabilitation, not pressure.

Key services in the program

- Shelter homes and rehabilitation center
- Vocational training and education
- Counseling and health care

Why is prostitution rehabilitation important?

Prostitution rehabilitation is more than rescue. It is about giving life back. Many girls lack skills, ID, or family support. A strong program helps in these ways:

- Stops repeat trafficking.
- Gives economic independence.
- Promotes women empowerment.
- Reduces stigma and fear.
- Strengthens community safety.

Ram Rahim and the Shubhdevi Mission — History

You may ask: Who started this? Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh and his Dera Sacha Sauda followers promoted social work. According to Dera sources, Shubhdevi began in the 2010s as part of wider women rescue mission efforts. The Dera has run health camps, blood drives, and cleanliness projects too. For example, Dera claimed to run free medical camps and mass marriages in many states.

Note: Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh has been a public figure for decades. In August 2017, he was convicted of rape and sentenced to 20 years in prison. Also, his movement and social work were widely covered in the media. You can see both support and criticism around him. This history matters when we study his social rehabilitation claims.
