About Us

Trafficking in persons is an organized crime in India with an estimated 21 crore generated in revenue (one-fifth of India's GDP). Trafficking in women and children has become a matter of grave concern. Today' almost every state is a part of this organized racket. Apart from sexual exploitation, off late children ares also trafficked for forced larbour, bondage and slavery. Trafficking is a grey area in migration studies which has been dealt from a different perspective in terms of advocacy, legal counsel, rights issues and the likes. Organizations dealing with internal migration have no scheme of rescue and rehabilitation of trafficked persons. However, there is distinct possibility of incorporating the issue of trafficking under the ambit migration study and advocacy analysis. Such linkages can be bridged if this can be looked through the same perspective as that for internal migration.
