Human trafficking involves tricking or forcing people into situations of modern day slavery where they are bought, sold, and traded. It is caused by factors like unemployment, poverty, and violence against women and children. Victims are most often women and children between 18-25 years old from impoverished areas who are promised better opportunities but instead subjected to forced labor or prostitution. India is a source, transit, and destination country for human trafficking and has strict laws against it but it remains a significant problem.
