This year Human Rights Now invited Hasina Kharbhih "CEO of Impulse Social Enterprises" from India. To recognize a survey on child labor and human trafficking situations in India's Meghalaya State in 2010 with her start-up "Impulse NGO Network" and to respect her long term measures for solving the child labour issue in her home town by Meghalaya Model as a holistic, multi-sector approach to creating a formal network of organizations such as the governments, International Organizations and Media for the purpose of tracking and rescuing trafficked children, facilitating rehabilitation, providing families with livelihood alternatives, prosecuting offenders, and raising awareness, our organization awarded the Asian Activist-α prize to Hasina Kharbhih.  We also invited Mrs. Yukako Narita from NGO ACE.
