Abstract

Human trafficking is a global evil that snatches freedom from millions of people worldwide to make money. It is a multi-billion-dollar industry affecting the lives of vulnerable – such as women, children, and the poor. Human trafficking, in its various ways, affects almost every country of the world, said the United Nations; and India is not an exception to it. Despite having rich legislation to combat the problem, human trafficking remains a significant issue in India.

This paper is a study about the potential purposes of human trafficking with a detailed discussion on anti-human trafficking laws in India. While addressing the causes of failure of these laws at implementation level, some suggestions has also been provided in concluding part of the paper
