- All_Bengal_Women's_Union abstract "The West Bengal Women's Union was started in the 1932, when a group of women in West Bengal formed a cadre of like-minded women to help their helpless, exploited and victimized fellow women.The genesis of the group lied in the fact that trafficking in women and children had increased to an unprecedented extent in West Bengal and the Calcutta area and this NGO was an attempt to address the problem.In between the two World Wars, the number of sailors and soldiers had considerably increased and the flesh trade found a ready and expanding market in Kolkata. The Calcutta Suppression of Immoral Traffic Act and the Children Act were passed in order to enable thepolice to rescue women and children from the brothels. A new bill entitled the The Bengal Suppression of Immoral Traffic Bill was placed before the Bengal Legislative Assembly in 1932 by Mr. J. N. Basu, an eminent lawyer and social worker. The Bengal Presidency Council of Women and the All Bengal Women's Conference decided to form an independent organization for the Suppression of Immoral Traffic in Bengal. This society came into being with the name of All Bengal Women's Union and registered under Act XXI of 1860. ABWU is affiliated to the International Abolitionist Federation, Geneva. On April 1, 1933 the bill was passed.
