Human Trafficking: A Monstrosity in Indian Society
Draft 2
Background and Current Situation
"Human Trafficking is one of the worst forms of human rights violations, the 3rd
largest organized crime, and a 10 million dollar industry," says Sunitha Krishnan, one of
the leading activists on the issue (Krishnan, 2009). Human trafficking is generally
regarded as the trade in humans. Because the victims of this trade are often physically or
sexually abused, it has gained recognition as "modern-day slavery." Women are used for
sexual purposes, while children are used for cheap labor ("Global News - Human
Trafficking", 2012). As much as 80% of victims are female while 50% are children
(Aljazeera, Stop Trafficking, 2010). Human trafficking began during the 15th century
slave trade, continuing to stay a major problem in present day.
Many of these victims were willingly sold off by their families for as little as 360
rupees ($8 USD) in the hopes that the money their families would receive would keep
them together just a little longer. The victims themselves often consented to their
commodification, believing that the needs of their families surpassed those of their own
("Human Trafficking - Ending the Scourge" 2007). The practice and rationale were not
uncommon in the impoverished regions that plagued much of India at the time.
Distrust towards the Indian government erupted within the population. They
accused government officials of allowing human trafficking to evolve into the incident

Pasion 2
with the most kidnappings and highest annual death rate of the middle of the 20th century
(Lehmann, 2012). In this period of government inactivity, a branch in human trafficking
called the "flesh trade" had developed. Unlike human traffickers, who may simply act as
middlemen between victims and customers, flesh traders fall under a more specific
category and are known strictly for the physical and sexual abuse towards their victims.
Brothels became reputable places of business; customers would quickly agree to
the terms and conditions of child abuse and rape, as well as the side effect of passing an
STD to their victims (Krishnan, 2009). All the willing women in India could not supply
the demand of these ravenous customers; every hour, four women in India are forced into
prostitution (Lehmann, 2012). In fact, statisticians generally agree that there are 3,517
cases of human trafficking in India each year (Aljazeera, Giving A Voice To The
Voiceless, 2012). This problem isnt limited to India; however, most human trafficking
incidents are located in the red light districts of poverty stricken communities. This
problem is affecting nearly all continents with reports rising substantially throughout the
years.

Previous Solutions
On May 9, 1950, several constituents of the United Nations met in New York
where, the Indian government signed into action the Immoral Prevention Trafficking Act,
which came into effect six years later. As the name implies, the Act increased government
involvement in human trafficking across the country and encouraged swift and strict
mandates. It also implies that the Indian community saw the issue as a moral injustice,
one so large and increasingly troublesome that they considered that action on a massive

Pasion 3
scale to be taken (Satapathy, 2008). The people felt a responsibility to right the wrongs of
human trafficking, which they believed was intertwined with their current trend towards
poverty and the lower echelons of its caste system.
The Immoral Prevention Trafficking Act of 1956 was not only an outcome of this
feeling but a way in which Indians could reassess their rights following the 89-year long
rule of the British Raj in 1947. Since there were so many problems regarding human
trafficking, government believed that creating the Immoral Prevention Trafficking Act of
1956 would stop the controversy between the citizens within the communities. Based on
this government action, it applied to all Indian communities including all minor cities
except for the state of Jammu and Kashmir (Satapathy, 2008). The purpose was to display
the rights of the victims along with clarifying the punishments, and rehabilitation process
related to this crime.
The government document was aimed to primarily serve women and children
since they have been previous victims (Aljazeera, Stop Trafficking, 2010). It was signed
on May 9, 1950 in New York by Indian government and officials, but was later enacted
by Parliament in 1956 (India, The Immoral Traffic, 1950). Government believed that
creating this document would prevent future human trafficking crimes, reports, and
deaths. There were three forms of groups that were affected by the Immoral Prevention
Trafficking Act of 1956. This includes support groups, government, and victims.
Different support groups believed that although treatment is available, there was
no exact cure for how the victims can personally get through the traumatizing experience
of being held captive in a brothel for many years (Rescue Foundation, 2011).
Government believed that it caused a positive impact to the people because it aimed to

Pasion 4
protect the individual rights of the victims by allowing them to go to legal court, and give
the offenders an equal punishment (India, The Immoral Traffic, 1950). One victim quoted
"Human trafficking, either for sexual or labor exploitation, is truly a global
phenomenon." says Jean Philippe Chauzy (Schlein, 2010).
The consequences of this crime were, if an offender takes a victim for
prostitution, then they would stay at a minimum of 7 years in federal prison (Childline
India Foundation, 2013). Government thought that this would make criminals be
accountable for their actions along with the consequences that follow. Since human
trafficking was the cause for rape, kidnapping, and missing reports, many people agreed
that an official government act would serve a powerful purpose in stopping the growth of
this sexual yet dangerous crime. Victims were aggravated and wanted government to see
how this problem is affecting them physically, mentally, and socially. This continues to be
a problem since the Indian government doesnt consider human trafficking as a major
offense they believe that this crime only requires the same amount of attention as the
other filed reports in India. This creates a major affect on the victims level of safety,
health, and the permanent scarring that results from human trafficking.
From the creation of the Immoral Prevention Trafficking Act of 1956, it led to
various forms of protests between the victims and government because the document
failed to compliment all complaints that the people had, which therefore led to
controversy and anger. A cultural impact was caused because many people had different
beliefs on this issue and felt that protests would help resolve their communitys problems
(Phillips, 2003). They wanted the original 1956 document to be ratified or not written at
all, if it didn't seek adequate impact to its people.

Pasion 5
A physical, mental, and social impact that played a drastic imprint on millions of
lives. It caused for people to explore their individual rights towards human trafficking
crimes along with government providing them fair justice by giving the offenders equal
consequences. Based on the outcomes of this sexual offense, victims have been
physically abused because of human trafficking used for sexual purposes and child labor.
But, the government document allowed for the victims to seek treatment at rehabilitation
centers until they are ready to continue with their lives after the incident (Rescue
Foundation, 2011).

My Proposed Solution
Therefore, through the extent of this rising problem, I propose that more
government money be used for proper Anti-Human smuggling police unit training
programs I suggest that police units become more cautious of those who seem capable
of committing the crime of human trafficking. India needs to impose stricter mandates to
those that are either just arriving in that nation or have been previous criminals to this
problem. It has been recently found that children are now the main targets for human
trafficking victims because offenders can use them as a source for cheap labor, which
makes this problem even more dangerous because children are the foundation of our
future. Many people feel as if there is no solution to this crime which contributes to the
increase and severity of the problem.
In order for India to destroy this unfortunate reality, stricter laws need to be
introduced for incoming people and those who have been previous criminals to the
problem. Therefore, government agreed that with the use of secret police services could

Pasion 6
investigate red light districts or brothels for the purpose of the victims safety, without a
search warrant (Satapathy, 2008). Citizens agree that allowing for government to
intervene will let them be aware of their individual rights that they are accountable for
based on this specific offense. Many Indian communities have been investigated for
human trafficking and it was found that the rate of victims for this crime increases every
year of about 2.8% (Aljazeera, Giving A Voice To The Voiceless, 2012). This suggests
that through government help, this crime could become more informed, triggering
possible activist groups to continue to the fight in ending this problem forever.
Many children are deemed as the leading target groups for human trafficking
offenders. As much as 80% of victims are female while 50% are children (Aljazeera, Stop
Trafficking, 2010). The increase of victims has been specifically from being tricked,
influenced, or paid for from the offender. This suggests that since children are more
susceptible to rape (powerless), many offenders would take full advantage of this
opportunity. Therefore, government needs to take full initiative on the problem and
protect the rights of these children supporting my suggestion that stricter police training
programs be enacted in many locations spread throughout India. Although this suggestion
is made within a larger scale, it seems as if this proposal is the only logical explanation
for the increase of filed reports. Police units should already be trained to associate
between human trafficking suspects; however, statistics prove that government is not
providing useful aide or consideration for the victims sake.
The idea for this problem to no longer become a reality is unforeseen in much of
the Indian population. People feel as if there is no destined solution that has the ability to
stop this permanently. Although, it could never be certain, this problem has the potential

Pasion 7
to vanish forever. Jean Phillipe Chauzy has quoted "There are no regions of the world
that are not affected by human trafficking." If our current generation doesn't tend to
resolve this issue then our future might still be in question. This suggests that government
action is still not enough to stop this issue completely; in fact, if further proposals are
made to stop this problem, then there is still a bright future for human trafficking victims.
Both government and the Indian society must work corporately to have this
solution be successful. Leading activists on the issue should create more support groups
and agree to conduct protests. Change in Indian society was believed to have happened
by giving victims an opportunity to explore the rights they are all capable of having. But,
since this problem still tends to be growing until the present day, change has not occurred
with the offenders and the use of brothels in society. The government document has not
been enforced to a great extent, which leads to having this crime still be the 3rd largest
problem in the country.
If government enacts this proposal, then society would expect to see a drastic
decrease in the amount of human trafficking crimes. My suggestion would allow for
police units be fully aware of the definition of human trafficking and the possible clues
that could be looked upon at red light districts for potential offenders. People would no
longer be afraid to explore India since police units would be properly trained and would
hopefully have already arrested prospective criminals.

Address Possible Objections

Conflict between religious and cultural differences may arise in the future if
human trafficking doesn't tend to resolve in the following years. Women protested in

Pasion 8
numerous ways to show government the danger and importance of this issue. They once
did a protest by placing a black fabric tied against their mouth to show government how
speechless, and emotionally hurt they all are after being held captive in a brothel for five
years (Aljazeera, Stop Trafficking, 2010).
Although this form of government interference was intended to serve a positive
impact to its community of India, it resulted into causing more difficulty leading to mixed
emotions and a negative problem overall. Since government did not effectively enforce
its public in a powerful way, people are not fully aware of the regulations of human
trafficking and therefore still tend to persuade people to participate in (Lahiri, 2013).
Hence, a possible objection to my proposed solution would be the possible costs
and time that anti-human smuggling programs would create. My proposal did not
acknowledge the amount of programs that would be needed for this to become a reality.
Based on the economic stability of India, a financial demand for funding this form of
program is unrealistic. Although this issue is one of the leading crimes, government may
value education or the job industry rather than devoting their money into such programs.
The amount of time that each program would include is very unrealistic. Training
sessions usually last within duration of consecutive weeks this would take police units
away from doing their job which would prevent them from making money. Many
police would disagree to completing such a program since they feel that this issue is just
an ordinary crime that should be valued with the same extent as the crimes in that
country.
Although there are many objections to my proposal, both government and police
units need to understand how this is no ordinary crime. If this were not taken care of

Pasion 9
immediately, than victims would become emotionally damaged. The Indian society must
understand the extent that this problem has in affecting children aka the foundation of
their future. This issue has been introduced to government through several attempts with
leading political activist; however, continued reinforcement is recommended if Indians
want to see a future free from human trafficking.

Call to Action
Human trafficking has been a major offense starting within the 1950's when
government later agreed in forming the Immoral Prevention Trafficking Act of 1956. This
caused an impact to the victims physically, mentally, and socially. They got to explore
their individual rights, though it may have caused a negative impact overall. Victims
received fair justice because government allowed for them to undergo legal court, and
adequate rehabilitation processes throughout their mental treatment. But based on the
Indian society, human trafficking was at a rapid growth throughout history due to the
issues of poverty. Many people have yet to understand the danger in this sexual offense,
which lead to personal impacts related to both the victim and offender.
Protesting has continued until the ratification was granted in 1986, this was a
positive impact on the Indian society because people were able to work together and fight
upon the issues that impact them the most. They formed a common bond that government
can't refuse to go unrecognized. The document shows what the victims are capable of
doing in this crime, therefore stating their ability to go to court and protest to government
about the issues that impact them the most (India, The Immoral Traffic, 1950).

Pasion 10
My proposal suggests that further financial funding be devoted to anti-human
smuggling police training programs. This would allow for police units to be fully aware
of extent of the crime, and being cautious of potential offenders. If this proposal is not
implemented within the next couple years, then India should suggest seeing no decrease
in the amount of human trafficking crimes. It is not certain that this proposal is the
destined solution as to having this problem be removed forever, but there is hope that the
issue could be lessened for future years.
Active government participation upon this issue is the key to success in Indian
society. More specifically, there needs to be stricter mandates and harsher punishments
for offenders. If people feel scared and intimidated upon the punishments and the more
professionally trained police units, then there is no reason why the statistics for this
crime would only reflect positive results.
