No matter how ‘modern’ we may have become, the society is still ailing with the sickness called human trafficking. The worst victims of this evil happen to be children.\u00a0<\/p>\n

National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data form indicates that there were 2,854 reported cases of human trafficking across India were a total of 5,898 individuals, including minors and women, were trafficked. 5,789 victims of human trafficking were rescued from various parts of the country in the same time period.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Out of these 1,657 people were\u00a0trafficked for forced labour<\/a>, 1,275 for\u00a0sexual exploitation for prostitution,<\/a>\u00a0113 for domestic service and 240 of them were trafficked for forced marriage.<\/p>\n

While there is an increase in the number of rescued human trafficking victims, they say that getting their freedom back only served one of their several problems.<\/p>\n

Indian Leadership Forum Against Trafficking, a forum of NGOs and human trafficking victims, has now come together to fight for their rights and to\u00a0prevent more people from facing what they had to go through<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

ILFAT has over 2000 members and representation in 8 Indian states and is advocating for raising awareness, improve access to justice, bring an end to human trafficking, and be considered stakeholders in the decision-making process.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ram, (name change) a resident of Jharkhand was a\u00a0bonded labor along with his family<\/a>. According to Athmaram, the family had taken around Rs 8000 from a local landlord, which they had to repay by working in his field.<\/p>\n

Ram said that his father died in January 2017 due to exhaustion from working in the field for nearly 4-5 months. He said that despite them filing a complaint no action has been taken against the accused.<\/p>\n

Priya (name change) who was trafficked for sex trade was rescued from a brothel in Kolkata in 2013 during a police raid. She said even after all these years, she is left traumatised due to the abuse and torture that she had to endure at a young age.<\/p>\n

“Trafficking victims get rescued, but they are left alone after that. We don’t get any support, from the police or government after that. I was shifted to a shelter home, but even there I did not get any help for my condition. I had gone into a state of mental trauma. Later I got some phylactic help, but that came very late. Now with the medication and counselings, I am trying to move forward in life,” she said.<\/p>\n

She got training in tailoring during her stay in the rescue home today works as a tailor in Kolkata. She said it is important for trafficking victims to get both emotional and legal support.\u00a0<\/p>\n
