WOMEN AND GIRLS TRAFFICKING IN RURAL INDIA AND THEIR SEXUAL EXPLOITATION
This paper deals with the deep analysis of the condition of women trafficking in rural India and how they are exploited. We are not unacquainted about this type of outrageous issue as we all have read books, newspapers, seen movies which deal with it. But the question I want to pose is why such incidents are happening and what are the reasons behind it? The act of trafficking violates the rights of the trafficked person and therefore it is punishable in the Indian legal system. The women trafficked are tortured, drugged and murdered every day. Every year the number of trafficking victims is increasing. Proper measures

The reasons behind such cases are sale by family, abduction, recruitment by former slaves, deceit etc.
SALE BY FAMILY- “The condition of poverty, desperation and displacement lead many families to sell a child in slavery.” (kara) When parents take such decisions they are forced by the extremes of destitution they face which they are not able to deal with. They find their children the best source to come out of it. And for that they sell their children to the traders who further sell them to big cities to be sex workers. These traders sniff out the most dejected, poor people and make job offers for their children in return for money. The sex workers are forced to do sex slavery because of the remittance sent to their
A day in the life of a sex slave is interesting, and when you have children living with you it becomes a worry, in Born into Brothels the children that have been raised in the Red Light District have fear in their lives. Everyday the young children watch their mothers give sex for pay and they see their fathers beating their wives and drinking and doing drugs. These children have fear in their lives because they know they do not want to be like their parents but they have no option because there is no way to escape. Sex slavery is a way to earn quick cash and families in the Red Light District are poor and they usually force their daughters into sex slavery. In Sold by Patricia McCormick, Lakshmi’s family is poor and they need money, so Lakshmi
A Not so Happy Happiness House Lakshmi’s journey as a young girl throughout Sold by Patricia McCormick illustrates and sheds light on a few of the 12,000 girls in Nepal that get trafficked or sold by their own families to pay off debts and provide an income. Society often forgets that issues such as these still exist, where young girls are unwillingly forced into prostitution. The things they go through, being manipulated, and held hostage are shown throughout the book. Through Lakshmi’s perspective on sex trafficking in the book and the struggle of will women face, can be seen throughout her experiences and the people she meets. Sex trafficking of females is one of the largest issues world wide, with majority of society uninformed of the
The women that are being trafficked around from state to state have to have sex the way the customer wants it even if it means unprotected. Men don’t care for the women that they are having relations with so they force them to have sex knowing that they might or might not have any kind of infection. “Gita contracted HIV as a direct result of her status as a victim of sex trafficking. She, also, unknowingly and unintentionally, may have spread HIV to customers who bought her after she became infected”, (Kloer 2). This is a clear fact showing that the people who commits these acts are people who only care about putting money in their pocket failing to realize that those girls can die from this.
The fact that those of the middle and upper socioeconomic classes are the ones “purchasing” these sex slaves, which makes this trade continue to run and operate. In fact, the demands increase because these wealthy people are able to afford
It is the world’s fastest growing global crime that people are being bought, sold and smuggled for sexual exploitation, domestic servitude, bonded labour and even organ sacrifice ending up with death. The most tragic fact is 26% of the victims that are sucked into trafficking are children. In this violation of human rights’ grave, where persons have a price tag, anyone can be a victim. Human trafficking doesn’t discriminate on age, gender, race or religion. It is happening to humans, just like
Mostly these women are trafficked to Thailand, Malaysia, and
Majority of victims globally are girls and women, most of them are trafficked for the end goal of sexual exploitation. Traffickers mainly target females because they are excessively influenced by discrimination and poverty, elements that obstruct their approach to educational, employment opportunities and other resources. Maybe the most grounded factor is an urgent economic circumstance, which affects the accessibility of satisfactory employment in numerous nations for females more seriously than males. There is a suspicion that males are the perpetrators and females are the victims.
As a criminal act, trafficking violates the rule of law, threatening national jurisdictions and international law. Further, trafficking in persons redirects the benefits of migration from migrants, their families, community and government or other potential legitimate employers to the traffickers and their associates. Difficult as it is to measure accurately the scope of human trafficking, it is equally difficult to measure its impact. The dynamics of the trade are constantly evolving and a range of national perspectives exist.
Human trafficking, or trafficking in persons (TIP) or modern day slavery, is a heinous and widespread crime occurring around the world in nearly every society. Most people often thought slavery was part of the past; however, human slavery is part of our current society and has been an on-going issue around the world. Human trafficking is a type of slavery that involves forced or bonded labour, sexual servitude, child labour, or involuntary servitude all over the world. It is important to note that sex trafficking contributes to more than half of human trafficking and most of these victims are women and young girls. This modern day slavery can happen to anyone, anywhere, and at anytime (Ton, 2012).This literature review of documents and reports
All around the world human trafficking exists and there needs to be a stop to it. Human Trafficking is a national problem because current laws are ineffective and therefore action needs to be taken to reduce the problem. Human Trafficking became our modern day slavery. Victims being forced into labor, being drug camels, and solicitation. Slavery has brought sadness to the world and yet aren’t realizing that the people being trafficked are becoming slaves.
Therefore, this is clearly not an example of human trafficking. After analyzing each sources use of the three most important components of human trafficking, the better piece is clear. Forced labor, captivity, and poor working conditions were all used as criterion for human trafficking in Noy Thrupkaew’s piece. “Slavery in the Fields” failed to meet even one of these criterion. Human trafficking is a very rampant problem, and we should not reduce it with loose interpretations of what constitutes it.
This sort of sexual exploitation in the form of human trading, is bring notoriety to its name and a lot of countries consider Pakistan as one of the major trafficker and blame it as a reason for this ghastly crime accompanying other countries and even United States Department of state recently raised a finger at Pakistan for being a base area of this deplorable business. Poverty is the leading cause of this slavery, and it’s evident that poverty leads to uneducation resulting in increased unemployment giving rise to such trafficking cases in society. Besides human trafficking is one of those serious crimes which is globally considered as the major cause of a fact that majority of the people carrying HIV/AIDS virus are women. Many women and children are unaware of risks associated when they intentionally opt for selling their bodies.

Normally, trafficking is done by threat, compulsion, abduction, fraud, misleading, abuse of power, vulnerability, giving payments or benefits to a person in control of the victim .Trafficking in person is a serious crime and dignified violation of human rights . Most of people nowadays do not know that human slavery still exists; after it was abolished 150 years ago, its proven when there is an auction of young women intended for sexual slavery occurred publicly in Britain highly policed location and another auction even took place in front of a café at Greenwich Airport, Britain (News by BBC UK, 4 June 2006, 14.31 GMT).
