Human Trafficking

4.  The Act (What is done)
Recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons
The Means (How it is done)
Threat or use of force, coercion, abduction, fraud, deception, abuse of power or vulnerability, or giving payments or
benefits to a person in control of the victim
The Purpose (Why it is done)
For the purpose of exploitation, which includes exploiting the prostitution of others, sexual exploitation, forced
labour, slavery or similar practices and the removal of organs.

6. • Human trafficking is one of the lead causes
towards suicide, HIV/AIDS and also
psychological disorders.
• Poor living conditions also contribute to
development of various diseases effecting
the victims in which they suffer from in
later years. The victims are not given any
medical aid to cure these ailments. Those
recruited in chemical factories are treated
like modern-day slaves and when they
succumb to occupational diseases, are
quickly replaced by another batch of
victims.

7. • Human trafficking leaves the exploited at
a high risk of contracting various sexually
transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS that
they further pass on to the men and their
partners. In some cases, victims are also
subjected to substance abuse by being
forced to take drugs.
Such individuals also have to
constantly battle with drug addiction.
Improper supply of meals and the lack of
nutritious food cause malnourishment in
victims.

8. • The children are likely to become
withdrawn and tend to be
suicidal. Any children born to the
victims of prostitution are taken
away at the time of birth causing
further mental agony to the
mothers. The longer the victims
have been enslaved, greater will
be their traumatic experience.

9. According to The Ministry of Women and
Child Development almost 20,000 women
and children were victims of human
trafficking in India in 2016.
India's West Bengal state - which shares
a porous border with poorer neigbours
Bangladesh and Nepal and is a known
human trafficking hub for that reason -
registered more than one-third of the total
number of victims in 2016.
The desert state of Rajasthan recorded the
second highest number of trafficked
children in 2016, while the western state of
Maharashtra, where India's business capital
Mumbai is located, showed the second
highest number of trafficked women.
