This document discusses modern slavery and human trafficking around the world. It states that millions of people are living in bondage, forced to work in brutal conditions under threat of violence. They may be forced into labor, begging, or prostitution. Human trafficking is a crime that exploits victims for financial gain. It is a problem that affects every country. The document then provides statistics on trafficking victims and profits as well as information on government anti-trafficking efforts in India.
A unique online tracking software system is being used to protect and repatriate victims of human trafficking between India and Myanmar. The Impulse Case Information Centre Software is an online repository of cases that can be used as a transnational referral mechanism to ensure systematic documentation of human trafficking cases and address the issue of internal and cross-border trafficking. It was developed by Impulse NGO Network, an organization based in the northeast of India that has been working to stop trafficking for 20 years. With the support of the Global Development Network, Impulse NGO Network is now scaling up its anti-trafficking tracking system to be used by governments in other neighboring countries, including Bangladesh and Nepal, as part of their anti-trafficking strategies.

Trafficking usually stands at the center of all activities relating to child abuse and exploitation. A need exists to introduce effective legal regime, enforcement and preventive mechanism.
Thousands of women and children are trafficked every day. Within the overall profile of trafficking in South Asia, India is a country of both transit and destination. There is a considerable degree of internal trafficking as well as some trafficking from India to Gulf States and to South East Asia. Sale of children and their movement across the state borders takes place within the country too. In other words, while there is movement of children through procurement and sale from one country to another, with India being both a supplier as well as a “consumer”, there is internal “movement” of children within the country itself - one town to another, one district to another and one state to another. It is undertaken in an organised manner, by organised syndicates or by individuals, and sometimes informal groups. Relatives and parents are part of this as well.

All through March and April 2006 there were several news reports about a senior official in the Ministry of External Affairs being charged for criminal conspiracy in a case of human trafficking. The case is under investigation by the CBI. Later the media drew attention to the sex racket in the State of Jammu and Kashmir, where people came out in protests seeking the names of politicians and bureaucrats involved in it. Then came the Nithari case in Noida, where possibilities of trafficking of children for sexual abuse as well as organ trade cannot be ruled out. The more recent one is the Gujarat politician Babu Bhai Katara, who was caught trying to smuggle a woman and a child out of the country, getting the two to pose as his wife and child.

Child Trafficking in the Context of State Reconstrution: A Case Study of HaitiRachel Belt
Over 1.2 million children are victims of trafficking every year (ILO 2012). They are exploited, a violation of child rights protected by international law (CRC 1989). Poor families in Haiti supply vulnerable children for exploitation both inside the country and across the borders. Initial promises are made to families in exchange for children, who are taken to work in domesticity, on the streets, in prostitution or placed in orphanages to be illegally adopted. The network of traffickers go unpunished despite some arrests made by the police.
HAQ: Centre for Child Rights had undertaken a comprehensive study on Child Trafficking in 2001 for terre des hommes (Germany) and this was the basis of the starting of a national Campaign- the Campaign against Child Trafficking (CACT). It was formally launched on 12 December 2001 in Delhi and has chapters in 13 states across the country. This campaign has now been revived with the help of Krishna Rao Foundation and iPartner India
As a follow-up to the previous report, HAQ: Centre for Child Rights in partnership with CACT partners from across the state have come out with a report after a gap of 16 years.

The Effectiveness of the Indonesian Anti Human Trafficking Regulation and Law...AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: All around the world, men, women and children are subject to be victimized by human
trafficking for sexual, forced labor and other forms of exploitation. Human trafficking can be defined as a
process where people being recruited in their community and country of origin and transported to the
destination where they are being exploited for purposes of forced labor, prostitution, domestic servitude,
and other forms of exploitation. The implementation of Indonesian laws and regulations as well as it‟s
enforcement personnel for fighting against human trafficking has not been evaluated in quantitative and
qualitative measures. Therefore this research will analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of the Indonesian
anti human trafficking regulation and law enforcement. This research will analyze and evaluate the
effectiveness of the Indonesian anti human trafficking regulation and law enforcement. The main cause of
trafficking is the lack of information about trafficking, poverty and the low level of education and skills
possessed. The problem oftrafficking is a complex problem and needed the complex handling.
KEYWORD : human trafficking, trafficking, trafficking law, anti-human trafficking regulation
Human trafficking incidence in rwanda its challenges, prevention and controlJohnGacinya
Rwandans like any other people in the rest of the world, suffer physically and psychologically during and after the transportation of victims of human trafficking to other parts of the world. It is observed that, occupational hazards in industries pose danger to the lives of victims of labour trafficking. It is also noted that sexually-abused victims of human trafficking risk catching HIV/AIDS pandemic. Ignorance, poverty, family conflicts and gender inequality have been found to be some of the key ‘push’ factors that drive individuals to seek economic opportunities elsewhere other than their home areas
Human Trafficking Incidence in Rwanda: Its Challenges, Prevention and ControlJohnGacinya
The main objective of the present study was to analyse the challenges faced by the Government of Rwanda its efforts to prevent and control the incidence of human trafficking in the country.
Sex tourism, although it has becalmed important to the world’s economy, has many serious consequences. Due to many countries dependence on the tourism industry it would be impossible to completely abolish the trade. It is important for the world, to be informed about the true consequences of sex tourism. This would dissipate many of the myths, stereo types, and behavior of tourist seeking a pleasure-seeking experience. The people must be informed of the drastic cost associated with sex tourism. Sex Tourism’s place in the future is still very uncertain. It will be interesting to see how the nature of the industry changes in the future.
We believe everyone, everywhere has the right to a life free from slavery. But right now, millions of children and adults are trapped in slavery in every single country in the world. Including yours.
Modern slavery is the severe exploitation of other people for personal or commercial gain. Modern slavery is all around us, but often just out of sight. People can become entrapped making our clothes, serving our food, picking our crops, working in factories, or working in houses as cooks, cleaners or nannies.
From the outside, it can look like a normal job. But people are being controlled – they can face violence or threats, be forced into inescapable debt, or have had their passport taken away and are being threatened with deportation. Many have fallen into this oppressive trap simply because they were trying to escape poverty or insecurity, improve their lives and support their families. Now, they can’t leave
2)Forms of modern slavery
Modern slavery takes many forms. The most common are:
Human trafficking. The use of violence, threats or coercion to transport, recruit or harbour people in order to exploit them for purposes such as forced prostitution, labour, criminality, marriage or organ removal.
Forced labour. Any work or services people are forced to do against their will under threat of punishment.
Debt bondage/bonded labour. The world’s most widespread form of slavery. People trapped in poverty borrow money and are forced to work to pay off the debt, losing control over both their employment conditions and the debt.
Descent–based slavery. Most traditional form, where people are treated as property, and their “slave” status was passed down the maternal line.
Slavery of children. When a child is exploited for someone else’s gain. This can include child trafficking, child soldiers, child marriage and child domestic slavery.
Forced and early marriage. When someone is married against their will and cannot leave. Most child marriages can be considered slavery.
People end up trapped in modern slavery because they are vulnerable to being tricked, trapped and exploited, often as a result of poverty and exclusion. It is these external circumstances that push people into taking risky decisions in search of opportunities to provide for their families, or are simply pushed into jobs in exploitative conditions.
2. "Around the world, millions of people are living in bondage. They labor
in fields and factories under brutal employers who threaten them with
violence if they try to escape. They work in homes for families that keep
them virtually imprisoned
. They are forced to work as prostitutes or to beg in the streets, fearful of
the consequences if they fail to earn their daily quota. They are
women, men, and children of all ages, and they are often held far from
home with no money, no connections, and no way to ask for help.
This is modern slavery, a crime that spans the globe, providing ruthless
employers with an endless supply of people to
abuse for financial gain. Human trafficking is a crime with many victims: not
only those who are trafficked, but also
the families they leave behind, some of whom never see their loved ones
again.
3. Human Trafficking is a crime against humanity. Human trafficking is the
illegal trade of human beings for the purposes of reproductive slavery,
commercial sexual exploitation, forced labor, or a modern-day form of
slavery. It involves an act of recruiting, transporting, transferring,
harboring or receiving a person through a use of force, coercion or other
means, for the purpose of exploiting them. Every year, thousands of men,
women and children fall into the hands of traffickers, in their own
countries and abroad.
Every country in the world is affected by trafficking, whether as a country
of origin, transit or destination for victims.
4. The Act (What is done)
Recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring 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.
5. What do we really know about sex
trafficking?
Although trafficking of women and girls for sexual exploitation is a global
problem, hard statistics on the numbers of women involved, and in which
countries, are close to impossible to come by:
• It is an illegal, underground business, and it is difficult to extrapolate the scale
of the problem from statistics on arrests and convictions, because many
victims don't come forward for fear of retribution
•The UNESCO TRAFFICKING STATISTICS PROJECT is a first step toward clarifying
what we know, what we think we know, and what we don't know about
trafficking.
6. HUMAN TRAFFICKING: THE FACTS
An estimated 2.5 million people are in forced labour (including sexual
exploitation) at any given time as a result of trafficking Of these:
56% - are in Asia and the Pacific
10% - are in Latin America and the Caribbean
9.2% - are in the Middle East and Northern Africa
5.2% - are in sub-Saharan countries
10.8% - are in industrialized countries
8% - are in countries in transition
161 countries are reported to be affected by human trafficking by being a
source, transit or destination.
People are reported to be trafficked from 127 countries to be exploited in
137 countries, affecting every continent and every type of economy
7. The Victims
•The majority of trafficking victims are between 18 and 24 years of age
•An estimated 1.2 million children are trafficked each year
•95% of victims experienced physical or sexual violence during trafficking
(based on data from selected European countries)
•43% of victims are used for forced commercial sexual exploitation, of
whom 98 per cent are women and girls
•32% of victims are used for forced economic exploitation, of whom 56
per cent are women and girls
•Many trafficking victims have at least middle-level education
8. Profits
•Estimated global annual profits made from the exploitation of all trafficked
forced labour are US$ 31.6 billion Of this:
US$ 15.5 billion - is generated in industrialized economies
US$ 9.7 billion – is generated in Asia and the Pacific
US$ 1.3 billion – is generated in Latin America and the Caribbean
US$ 1.6 billion – is generated in sub-Saharan Africa
US$ 1.5 billion – is generated in the Middle East and North Africa
We know what works. We can begin to defeat sex trafficking if we severely
punish its national and multi-national profiteers, arrest its customers, offer a way
out to its prisoners, and create self-respecting economic alternatives for girls
and women who are at risk. The question is: "Will we?
9. TRAFFICKING IN INDIA:
India is a source, destination, and transit country for men, women, and
children trafficked for the purposes of forced labor and commercial sexual
exploitation. NGOs estimate this problem affects 20 to 65 million Indians.
India is also a destination for women and girls trafficked for the purpose of
commercial sexual exploitation.
Children are subjected to forced labor in various industries. There are also
victims of labor trafficking among the thousands of Indians who heavily
migrate willingly every year for work as domestic servants and low-skilled
laborers such workers are the victims of fraudulent recruitment practices that
lead them directly into situations of forced labor, including debt bondage; in
other cases, high debts incurred to pay recruitment fees leave them
vulnerable to exploitation by unscrupulous employers in the destination
countries, where some are subjected to conditions of involuntary servitude,
including non-payment of wages, restrictions on movement, unlawful
withholding of passports, and physical or sexual abuse.
10. GOVT STEPS:
The Government of India prohibits some forms of trafficking for commercial
sexual exploitation through the Immoral Trafficking Prevention Act (ITPA).
Prescribed penalties :Acc .to the ITPA it is ranging from seven years’ to life
imprisonment.
India also prohibits bonded and forced labor through the Bonded Labor
Abolition Act, the Child Labor Act, and the Juvenile Justice Act.
These laws are ineffectually enforced, however, and their prescribed
penalties — a maximum of three years in prison —are not sufficiently stringent.
Indian authorities also use Sections 366(A) and 372 of the Indian Penal Code,
prohibiting kidnapping and selling minors into prostitution respectively, to
arrest traffickers.
Penalties under these provisions are a maximum of ten years’ imprisonment
and a fine.
India’s Central Bureau of Investigation incorporated anti-trafficking training
into its standard curriculum. In November, the State
of Maharashtra developed an action plan to combat trafficking; it did not,
however, allocate appropriate funding to accomplish the objectives of this
plan.
