The expression ‘Human Trafficking’ generally refers to the illegal and criminal practice of exploitation of human being by use of deception, fraud, violence or coercion by treating them as commodities for financial as well as personal gains. It means the process of trapping of humans for the purpose of trading like a commodity and of sexual slavery, commercial sexual exploitation and forced labour. Anyone can be a victim of human trafficking because of lack of social and legal protection and as per present data; the majority of this crime are women /girls which is about 80% of the total victims. It is a paradox of Indian civilized society that gender based discrimination and bareness of community support against women starts from their family right from the birth. Women are considered as a burdensome appendage and economic drain. Our society being a male dominated is more crook and crude against women since beginning. Frequently, the women/girls are sold for prostitution trade even in hotels and public resorts which is rampant among backward casts. Now, it has become a grave social issue of dignity and defeating privacy rights of women. Problem of women is the problem of society as a whole as it affects our society at large. In order to overcome this problem there is urgent need to change the situation which perpetuates gender inequality with a sense of urgency by starting an effective campaign against discrimination and enacting stringent laws. To implement the existing legal instrument in true sense for prevention and combating the offence in issue, effective measures should be taken so that anti- trafficking measures would not adversely affect the dignity and human rights of the victims of trafficking.
