  • The problem

    How serious is Human Trafficking in India?

    How serious is Human Trafficking in India?
  • The UN office for Drugs and Crime reports that India is the centre of South Asia and largest growing area in the world for human trafficking.

    Mainly, women are brought from poorer neighbours like Nepal and Bangladesh.

    Many are forced into marriages or as labours in middle class homes, hotels or are confined in brothels where they are repeatedly raped.

  • Data

    90% increase in human trafficking

  • According to National Crime Record Bureau, the rate of human trafficking has increased by more than 90 percent since 2009. The data also said that most of the trafficking in India was internal.

  • Existing Laws

    The Immortal Traffic (Prevention) Act of 1956

    The Immortal Traffic (Prevention) Act of 1956
  • The Immortal Traffic Prevention Act of 1956 is the only law in India dealing with human trafficking. Besides that, it defines trafficking exclusively in terms of commercial sexual exploitation- buying, selling or recruitment of girls and women for prostitution.

    The Juvenile Justice Act and Bonded Labour Abolition Act deals with trafficking of children and criminalises bonded labour.

    What is Trafficking of Persons Bill 2016?

    What is Trafficking of Persons Bill 2016?
  • It is a bill to prevent trafficking of persons and to provide protection and rehabilitation to the victims of trafficking and to create a legal, economic and social environment against trafficking of persons.

    The bill would treat survivors in need of assistance and protection rather than criminals.

    This would be India's first ever anti human trafficking law.
