Panaji, March 09: Nearly 25 per cent of the women rescued from commercial sexual exploitation in Goa are from massage parlours, an NGO said on Friday, and added that Nepali and Thai women top the list of foreign women rescued from such parlours, which promote cross massages.

Addressing a press conference in Panaji, Arun Pandey, who heads Anyay Rahit Zindagi, an NGO operating in the area of human trafficking in Goa for decades, also said that the government should formulate a law against cross massages.

"From 2010 to 2017, 683 women were rescued from commercial sexual exploitation in Goa. Out of this, 171 were rescued from massage parlours," he said.
