Abstract

Human Trafficking, Its Issues and Challenges in India: A Study from Human Rights
Perspective1

Since ages, Human trafficking has been prevalent in the society. It is a curse for the whole
country that leads to unending sufferings which not only lower the physical strength but also
feeble the mental status of a person. Growth and development are the words which are unknown
to their world. They have to suffer discrimination and humiliation to a large extent. It is a serious
contemporary social justice and human rights issue. A recent U.S. government report estimated
that as many as 27 million persons around the world are victims of human trafficking. It is highly
important to protect their basic human rights and provide them with such environment that paves
way for their consistent growth and protect them from atrocities of the world. In the current
scenario, though there are various laws and government policies working towards the betterment
of such people yet there are various hurdles in the path. Therefore, there is a need to generate a
better understanding of an issue like this in order to provide for a status to all the victims of
human trafficking in the country and to promote their growth and development. The paper
discusses the manifold difficulties faced by the victims of trafficking in India while many of
whom face intimidation, shame, difficulty in prosecution, high likelihood of re-victimization in
their own country. The paper ultimately concludes that broader, victim-based initiatives are
necessary both to assist victims and to provide a firm basis for the future trafficking
prosecutions. Thus it aims to analyze the status of human trafficking laws in India and the issues
and challenges faced by the victims in the country.
