What is Human Trafficking?
United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime is an agency of United Nations with headquarters in Vienna, Austria.
It works in preventing the abuse of drugs, organized crime, corruption and terrorism.
It is important to note that in majority of the cases of human trafficking, the traffickers are known to the victims.
Reasons for Human Trafficking to exist?
Human Trafficking as crime in India:
Section 370 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) criminalized trafficking offenses that involved exploitation that included any act of physical exploitation or any form of sexual exploitation, slavery or practices similar to slavery, and servitude. |
Conclusion
The estimated number of victims of severe forms of trafficking is very significant or is significantly increasing and the country is not taking proportional concrete actions. There is a failure to provide evidence of increasing efforts to combat severe forms of trafficking in persons from the previous year. In spite of many laws present in India human trafficking remains an unspoken problem in the country.
Verifying, please be patient.
