Habitat For Reintegration of sex Trafficking Survivors, Goa

Abstract

The Habitat for Reintegration of Sex Trafficking Survivors, spanning over approximately 31,000 sqm. aims at offering multi staged residential support while creating a neighbourhood – like environment in doing so. As proven ahead through literature and live studies on the same, the success of any rehabilitation model depends heavily on the financial support it offers its beneficiaries. As per studies done during the course of this dissertation, agro tourism has proven to be one of the most lucrative economic models due to its suitability in the Goan context and among the rescued victims (based on trends in their vulnerabilities). The rehabilitation program therefore has attached a health and wellness community centre along with its de-addiction centre in order to couple organic agro tourism as a sustainable economic model that facilitates economic rehabilitation of its beneficiaries. Just as in any conventional neighbourhood, multiple subsystems (i.e. social, economic educational) coexist simultaneously, the design aims to introduce normalcy within the lives of it beneficiaries by overlapping its publics, skill building and residential spaces in a manner that ensure considerable privacy along with ensured interaction between subsystem parties.
