Human Trafficking

Human Trafficking is of the worlds primary concerns. and is increasing day by day,.Human Trafficking is  the acquisition of people by improper means such as force, fraud or deception, with the aim of exploiting them. The ways of exploitation includes: forced prostitution, marriage and sell, domestic labour, bonded labour, agricultural labour, industrial labour, entertainment, begging, adoption, drug smuggling and peddling and organ transplants.

   Andhra Pradesh is alarming to note that the state with its 23 districts is registered with the maximum cases of Human trafficking i.e. 438 cases which is highest in India in 2010. And it is also pathetic to observe that, more than 4000 girl  children are becoming victims and being trafficked every year from the state of Andhra Pradesh only,

The country, India is a centre of source, destination and transit for human trafficking. A study by the NGO Shakti Vahini, a leading Indian Human Rights NGO, concluded that 10% of Indian trafficking is international whilst 90% is domestic. The 2007 US 'Trafficking in Persons' Report estimates that the problem affects more than millions. 

Men and boys as well as women and girls are trafficked within and into India, although women and girls are most vulnerable to trafficking into the sex trade. The vast majority of trafficked women and girls are poor, many are from landless families, and most come from Dalit (previously known as “untouchables”), Adivasi (indigenous and low status tribals) or other low caste communities.

Research Studies show that they may be family members or friends, brothel owners and brokers, community leaders, women in sex-work or people in powerful positions such as police and other government employees.

There are many ways that women and children put at vulnerable situations and exploited and the victims have been  unconditionally targeted for

no mistake of them. This is an extremely heinous ways of trafficking because it breaks all the bounds of trust in human relations and right to live.

In spite of the magnitude of the problem, India has not put in place appropriate measures to tackle human trafficking. The Indian constitution prohibits human trafficking and successive governments have formulated laws intended to tackle it, with the primary legislative tool being the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act 1956.
