CONCLUSION
Trafficking in women is not just a transnational issue, but a national also.
Hence, under victims of trafficking we put not only women that are
transferred from domestic countries to foreign ones, but also the citizen of
one country that are moved within it.
There are many laws and acts formed to stop women trafficking but inspite
of this laws and acts, the number of trafficking cases are increasing day by
day.
Now a days the technology is increasing day by day so the government can
tackle this type of rackets but somewhere they are lacking in this.The
government should take strict action to stop these types of activities.
CONCLUSION
CONTD.
Trafficking is occurring in almost all parts of the world. In the EU
Trafficking mostly occurs as forced sex work. Trafficking is having higher
money repayment rates than weapon smuggling or drugs smuggling. The
legal enforcement differs between EU Member states. Often the trafficked
persons (the victims) are considered to be the problems or actively law
breaking persons. The state and law enforcement should take care of victims
but often does not regard the victims as such but regards them as evil doers...
- STOP TRAFFICKING NOW - The problem of human trafficking can only
be solved by raising the living standard in most parts of the world...
