In the current context, human trafficking—including the trafficking of women, children, and other vulnerable groups—is seen as one of the most heinous abuses of human rights. History has shown that human trafficking is not a brand-new or particularly Indian problem. It is frequently likened to prostitution. After the smuggling of weapons and drugs, it is regarded as the third most lucrative category of organized crime. It would also be accurate to state that it is a complicated problem that is seen as the main cause of crime in India and that it is a kind of exploitation that infringes upon the most fundamental rights of the victims of human trafficking. In this connection the paper tries to highlight the present situation and the various dimensions of human trafficking. The paper briefly explains the various causes and contributory factors for human trafficking.
