As many as 3 million women in India are believed to be sex workers, often pushed into the trade by extreme poverty or coercion. One organization has helped more than 32,000 of these women find a path out. While this group has earned international awards and philanthropic support, it's also raised complex questions about how best to help. Fred de Sam Lazaro reports for his series Agents for Change.
