COMBATING HT FOR PROSTITUTION
Three Models
Suppression : To wipe out (American Model)
Regulation : Accept inevitability of prostitution
and direct to prevent and minimize its evil effect
(British Model)
Abolition : Of all control
It recognizes prostitution as a trade/profession and
abolish all restriction and control.

ISSUES IN COMBATTING TRAFFICKING
1. Laws are potent, enforcement is weak
dkuwu etcwr] fdz;kUo;u detksj]
• Police not catching the traffickers
• Role ambiguity- moral policing vs law enforcement
• Treating victims as offenders
• Prosecution & Judiciary not properly sensitized
• Not enough mechanism and infrastructure
• Rohtak Apna Ghar incident
• 90 % of the rescued victims have no option but to get retrafficked
17
2. SOCIETY’S MIND SET
• Not ready to accept victims of human trafficking as
equal human beings worth re-integrating with society
• Response of stake holders has been unwelcoming
generally with few exceptions

PROSTITUTION

•
•

•
Break demand-supply nexus
Make prostitution per se an offence & customer liable
Attempt in 2006 to amend PITA failed
Do we have the mechanism & infrastructure to
rehabilitate and reintegrate 40 lac sex workers ?

4. BREAKING DEMAND SUPPLY CIRCLE
(REDUCING DEMAND)

Improve male-female sex ratio
Proper enforcement of MTP & PCPNDT Laws
Educating the masses about importance of girl child
Strengthening moral fiber of the society
• Sex-ratio(0-6) age group- all India- 919, Haryana834, improved by 10 points in last decade

Demand in every middle class family & in small time business
Mushrooming of placement service agencies
How to improve enforcement machinery, Non-priority area
Rehabilitation of the victims, lack of infrastructure
Public to be awakened for not employing children
Disabilities of civil nature for industries employing child labour
Enforcement of Right to education laws
Definition of child needs revisit
Zero tolerance on child labour
COMBATTING TRAFFICKING FOR MARRIAGES
• Trafficked for marriage, re-trafficked,
re-trafficked and so on
• Breaking the nexus of re-trafficking
• Strict action against traffickers
• Such trafficked women become facilitator
• Trafficked women are treated second rate
citizen
• Protection of civil, personal and social rights of
the trafficked brides and their off-springs
29
TRAFFICKING FOR ORGAN TRADE, BEGGING
RECREATION, PORNOGRAPHIC PURPOSES
• Laws are strict
• Law enforcement agencies need to
be educated and geared up
• Focus and priority

Way ahead……
lq>ko
• NCRB to collect data
• Anti-Human Trafficking Bureau for quality investigation
• National Portal on HT where citizen can upload pictures
and information about trafficked person
• Continuous public awareness campaign
• Create adequate infrastructure for rehabilitation and reintegration of victims of HT as per PITA, JJ Act etc.
• Central legislation for preventing religious prostitution
& begging
•
•
•
•
•
Improve Sex Ratio,
Research should be encouraged in the Universities
Involving civil society,for identification & rehabilitation
Enforcement of existing laws to be ensured.
Accountability of all law enforcement agencies
including Police , Labour deptt, Social Welfare deptt,
Health deptt etc. should be fixed for inadequate
enforcement of law.
