HUMAN TRAFFICKING: AN INVISIBLE TRADE IN INDIA
Downloads
Abstract
The supreme ethical confront faced by the world in this present day is human trafficking. Trafficking as an unjustified trade has become so profitable that it knows no borders. Trafficking takes place inside a nation state or might involve movement across boundaries. Globally, after drugs and the arms trade, human trafficking is the third largest organized crime. Each year an estimate of 700,000 to 4 million people around the world are being trafficked for labour and sexual exploitation. Around 80% of the human trafficking across the world is done for sexual exploitation and the rest is for bonded labor. Trafficking is an umbrella term that is, problematically, often condensed to mean prostitution, when it involves sex trafficking.
Trafficking has placed human beings in an abusive situation for financial gain. Women, men and children are trafficked for a range of purposes, including forced and exploitative labour in factories, farms and private households, sexual exploitation, and forced marriage. Trafficking affects all regions and most countries of the world. Trafficking of human beings has become a trade or commercial dealing as it is a process of 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.
