The agents made a license for her through Rotary Public by increasing her age falsely and forced her to engage in prostitution. Moreover, she was tortured by those agents badly when ever she refused to do the job. Some days later she was rescued by police and sent to Narayangang Jail.

At the beginning Mina was mentally upset and completely broke down when she came to BNWLA for help. The counselors of BNWLA helped her to recover the mental condition by continuous process of counseling and soon she became normal and started to take various training like CRC, Life Skill, computer training etc. As a result of these training she started to feel self sufficient and became interested to live a self reliant life. Considering her eagerness to live a self dependent life BNWLA arranged her a training in security firm named, Group 4, and from there with the help of group 4, Mina got a job of security guard in British Council at Chittagong. Along with this job she also received training on knitting from garments factory and after completing her training successfully she got a job in EPZ. At present she is working as a supervisor. The most remarkable part of Mina’s life story is that, with her extraordinary determination she did not become self sufficient alone but also helped her elder sister and sister’s husband to get job in EPZ. Thus Mina proved that, strength of mind, hard work can make a person skilled and self dependent, moreover, a self reliant person can help others to become independent.
