Abstract
Human trafficking continued to be a global problem, and was categorised as the second largest organised crime, violating basic human rights. India was a major source, as well as destination for human trafficking. Various studies revealed that men below 18 years of age and women above 18 years were the most prominent victims of trafficking in India. While women were forced into sexual exploitation, men were forced to work as bonded labour in industries such as rice mills, sugar and jute mills, brick kilns, and leather and embroidery factories. Factors such as poverty, lack of education, lack of livelihood opportunities, gender discrimination, displacement due to conflicts and natural disasters, ineffective migration policies, and lack of social security contributed to the growth of human trafficking. People from India's most socio-economically disadvantaged states were particularly vulnerable to forced labour and sex trafficking. Human trafficking was said to be the second most profitable illegal trade in the country. Though there were policies and initiatives to prevent and reduce the impacts of human trafficking, it continued to affect every country around the world, despite its socio-economic status, history or political structure. The case study had attempted to provide an in-depth analysis on the various aspects of human trafficking in India, besides questioning whether the nation might be able to free itself of this social evil
