About this organization
Mission
Aruna Project is an impact driven athleisure brand that brings lifelong freedom to the sexually enslaved and enables our customers to be active, build confidence, and create change. By uniting women around the world, we envision a day when every woman is free to choose her own adventure. By mobilizing thousands to take part in Aruna Runs across the US, we can bring freedom to the enslaved through our Training Center in the heart of the brothel system. By offering employment through our Indian Private Limited Company to those who have stepped into freedom, we can sustain their freedom and restore the liberating power of choice. In growing our business we are able to employ more women freed from sex trafficking in the US to create an international sisterhood of women who have overcome.
