6 yr old girls injected with Oxytocin

The growth hormone is injected repeatedly into 6-10 yr old girls to create premature puberty, and then they are sold off as prostitutes. The girls are kidnapped from across the country and brought to villages in Rajasthan where they are injected with cheap veterinary oxytocin, sold over the counter without prescriptions. Entire villages and communities are running based solely on child prostitution as a business for generations.
The brutal truth about the state of women in my country, and the reality of the business of human slavery is difficult to accept, even for someone like me who is outspoken about facts such as honor killings, dowry murder and female foeticide.

This TED talk by Sunitha Krishnan is a great way to get started if you want to know more about human slavery today.
