The Shadow Reports Of India

Human trafficking is a worldwide problem. From California to Australia, it happens. “161 countries are reported to be affected by human

Due to social media and the ability to hide the severity of sex trafficking, people who aren’t affected by sex trafficking are unaware that something needs to be done. Women across the world are forced to tolerate disturbing working environments, and harsh punishments similar to Lakshmi’s as she describes after giving her pimp “the wrong look”. Next, “I feel the gritty sole of her shoe on the side of my head, gently at first, then

It is quintessential for governments to understand that each individual has the privilege to life, which incorporates education, food and work and along these lines they must make arrangements for the same. In developing countries, such as India, to abolish bondage, it is urgent that we have a profound comprehension of the economic, political and social influence structures in the communities. If we can set up state commissions alongside non-profit organizations to direct far reaching surveys and recognize individuals associated in all forms of human trafficking we can substantially improve both rescue and rehabilitation

Individuals are not willing to argue that the exploitation of humans is a good thing, regardless of the amount it adds to the GDP of our nations. Rather, authors foremost describe how difficult it can be to accumulate accurate data. The human trafficking industry is a part of the shadow industry. This shadow industry accounts for 40% of national GDP in some of the poorest nations (Roberts and Wood.) Even the United Nations has said that to estimate a true number of the amount of victims in the human trafficking industry is a “statistical goal [that] may prove to be unachievable” (UNODC, 2006). Scholars are aware of the limited data available; however, some argue that exaggeration is not an issue, as long as attention is given to the pressing concern. Large international organizations do attempt to utilize their power and budget to collect data. For example, the International Labor Organization published a study on trans-national sex trafficking. The industry, like many shadow industries, is

“Although human trafficking is often a hidden crime and accurate statistics are difficult to obtain, researchers estimate that more than 80% of trafficking victims are female. Over 50% of human trafficking victims are children.” The typical teenager was very uninformed prior to reading this book on human trafficking in india and how many teenage girls are victimized.The author of Sold,Patricia McCormick,was successful in explaining to this American audience how and why the cycle of human slavery present within brothels exists.

When it came to human trafficking and the U.S., I talked about Atlanta, Georgia. When looking at human trafficking in another country, I think about India. In Half the Sky it states that “there are 2 to 3 million prostitutes in India, and although many of them now sell sex to some degree willingly, and are paid, a significant share entered the sex industry unwillingly” (Kristof & WuDunn, 2009, p. 5). In India, “about half said they had been coerced into the brothels” (Kristof & WuDunn, 2009, p. 5). Human trafficking is similar in American and in India in the sense that people look for vulnerable girls. A girl that is not confident, comes from a low SES family, or is not highly educated is at risk. In particular, poor and uneducated females are desired in India because they might feel like they have no other options. Also, virginity and purity in women in valued a lot more in India

Human trafficking is an important problem in world politics that is not currently receiving the attention that it should. This is a terrible practice that involves the exploitation of workers, violation of human rights, and the encroachment onto the body when human trafficking turns sexual.

From the previous couple of decades the term which is getting a handle on consideration from both political and social regions is 'Human Trafficking';United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime(UNODC) propelled a report in the wake of examining 155 nations, and the outcome demonstrates that among all the trafficking 79% is sex abuse, 20% is tyke misuse while constrained work is 18% of entirety.

The first example of how oppression is perpetrated on women around the globe is through forced prostitution and sexual trafficking, which is actually more akin to slavery. India is said to have 2 to 3 million prostitutes, many of which are forced to be one. They are described as modern day slaves because they are taken, forced to work without pay, and can not leave under any circumstance, unless they want to be beaten or killed. The book gives the example of Meena Hasina’s harsh, relentless experiences after she was kidnapped and trafficked, and forced into prostitution. She was beaten an average of 5 times per week, was forced to have sex with 10 or more customers everyday no matter her

Human trafficking exploits women in ways that include forced labor, slavery, servitude, sexual exploitation, or removal of human organs. In Nepal

In conclusion, I completely agree with the third article and some how with the second article as well. Human trafficking have a global threat these days. Every body knows that it is a great social problem and should be abolished from the world. But no one is taking any effective steps to stop such global problem. We cannot expect anything from the government because all the political parties are busy on corruption. Its a very shameful things that instead of government, we local people are working hard to fight against human trafficking. If our political parties were active to support us than I am sure that human trafficking would vanish from this world. As a responsible citizen of a country, we all should be involved in conduting awareness

“Sex trafficking is the recruitment, harboring, transportation, provision, or obtaining of a person for the purposes of a commercial sex act, in which the commercial sex act is induced by force, fraud, or coercion, or in which the person induced to perform such an act has not attained 18 years of age” ("Human Trafficking"). World wide there are over 27 million victims of Human Trafficking. Sex trafficking is a global issue that affects many , occurring in over 167 countries, it is the most common form of human trafficking. (“Global Report on Trafficking in Persons”). In India, every hour four women enter prostitution, one of four willfully and the other three of them against their will. Every year nearly 7,000 Nepali girls are sold into Indias red-light district(“Human Trafficking Facts”). In comparison to all other forms of human trafficking, sex trafficking is the most gender biased trade. It is more inclined towards women, so, the majority of sex trafficking victims in India are women. Adolescence girls make up about 40% of the whole (Ton, par 4). This means that girls ranging from age 10-16 make up almost half of women and girls that are victims of sex trafficking. The problem lies within the system and the people who partake in it. Solicitation of sex being inexpensive, the tiers of people within the system -including those who sale, those who buy, and those in the background, and the minimal risks of legal consequences for trafficking are all what keep the sex

Poverty plays a major role in the ongoing human trafficking issue in India. Why is it hard for women and children liberate themselves from this problem? The answer is lack of opportunities; which leads us to the final factors contributing to the human trafficking issue: low education attainment and gender inequity.

The governments of the developing world encourage and utilize the sex trade industry as a progress strategy to repay millions of dollars of debt to international corporations. There are also economic incentives for the governments of both the exporting and importing countries to ignore the trafficking in women, and the governments are relatively uninterested in the women’s well-being.
