The effects of trafficking may have severe
impact on the survivors.
Rejection: Those who survive and come back to
the normal community are not accepted again.
The community rejects them and boycotts
their family. The survivor has to return back to
the brothel or commit suicide. Helplessness:
The victims feel helpless because they are not
able to change the circumstances in which
they are locked. They cannot face the situation
and in the end they give up. They withdraw and
isolate themselves and remain disconnected
from the society. Even if they are rescued and
rehabilitated, the feeling of helplessness
continues.
Distraction: The victims try to engage
themselves in various activities and try to
forget their situation. They watch movies, fight
with others and also gossip about others. They
may also become addict to drugs, tobacco and
alcohol. They also seek short term
relationships with strangers.

5. Eating Disorder: The victim may experience eating disorders. Due to
frustration and depression, they may eat more than required or they may take to
eating binges or they may not eat at all.

Immoral Traffic Prevention Act, 1956:

the International Convention signed at
New York in 1950. Initially this act was
known as the ‘Suppression of Immoral
Traffic in Women and Girls Act’ which
is a main legal tool for preventing
human trafficking. Its aim is to prevent
women trafficking.

9. Response from the Media :
Media is the ultimate weapon of
generating mass awareness of
the social problem of human
trafficking. It may spread the
news of human trafficking in a
particular area or it may create
awareness about NGO’s working
for the rehabilitation of the
victims. It may even provide
helpline numbers for the victims
and community members who
wish to get involved

Trafficking is one of the most
profitable industries. Counter-
trafficking strategies and
programs have been inadequate to
stop the expansion. Traffickers are
usually not persecuted and some
countries where they work, there
are no laws criminalizing their
atrocious practices. Where laws
exist, law enforcement has not
prioritized human trafficking.
International cooperation to fight
this problem is inadequate, and
protection is not enough for
victims.
