The Reason for choosing Tirupur

The famous Knitwear city has a fascinating attraction for those in the interior parts of the villages and districts because of its ready made job availability. . It exports 85% of the total cotton knitwear exported from India. 2500 knitwear companies, 600 processing units and 100 embroidery units. The age group of workers especially of women is between 15 to 18 that constitute 30.4% of the worker population.

74.91% have migrated by themselves without the parental ties. plight of the young girls is very severe as they lack safety and are exposed to moral danger. Among them there are young girls and women who face sexual assaults, emotional disturbances, become victims of mal adjustment.

Besides which the good number of children are child labourers. They are denied of the rights in its total sense. Specially the right to education, right to development, right to health, right to protection, right to recreation etc.

The landlessness, bondedness and the non availability of the possible jobs make the migrant population to come to the city. The city witnesses major outside population than that of Tiruprites. This results in homelessness, children are abandoned and loose their education and childhood, many children are trafficked in the name of work. Many young girls are lured by the false promises of the brokers and get into problems. At this juncture TASSS felt the need to respond to this situation and to prevent this vulnerable population.
