Scarlet | ‘Safe houses’ for the children—“As if we are a real home always waiting for them to return.”

You’d think that the kids who are not seriously injured would be able to return home, but they may actually be financially cut off by their parents and locked out of their homes. Some are threatened by their parents with knives at home. In one case, the father even threatened his daughter and said, “I’ll send you to get raped.” There are many more unimaginable cases. We provide safehouses because we want to help the elderly and the young. We don’t have specific expectations to accomplish, but we just want to keep them safe.
