There is no doubt that trafficking of children and
women for sexual and other forms of exploitation is a grave violation of their
rights and dignity. It is one of the largest organized exploitation in Tamil
Nadu, as much as in India. Human trafficking involves recruitment, harbouring
or transporting people into a situation of exploitation through the use of
violence, deception or coercion and forced to work against their will. In other
words, trafficking is a process of enslaving people, coercing them into a
situation with no way out, and exploiting them. It is indeed rampant across
Tamil Nadu.
People can be trafficked for many different forms of
exploitation such as forced prostitution, forced labour, forced begging, forced
criminality, domestic servitude, forced marriage, and forced organ removal.
When children are trafficked, simply bringing them into exploitative conditions
constitutes trafficking. People are trafficked due to ignorance, lack of
education, awareness, issues at home, demand at the [places of exploitation,
etc.
These are factors which can be addressed at the
source, transit and destination areas if the stakeholders decide to prevent and
work together. Under Article 23 of the Indian Constitution, every citizen is a
stakeholder, having a constitutional obligation to prevent trafficking in
children and women. This proposal initiated by ICWO and HSF will play a vital
role in combating human trafficking in Tamil Nadu.
