  • International Journal of Multidisciplinary Approach and Studies Prognosis of Human Rights and Child Trafficking in Bihar
    International Journal of Multidisciplinary Approach and Studies ISSN NO:: 2348 – 537X Prognosis of Human Rights and Child Trafficking in Bihar: A Sociometric Analysis Nikhat Shama Research Scholar, Department of Political Science Jamia Millia Islamia , New Delhi ABSTRACT: Human trafficking, or trafficking in persons, is a form of modern-day slavery and millions of people around the world, including children are victims of this crime (DeStefano, 2007).Violations of human rights are both a cause and a consequence of human trafficking (Robinson, 2002). Every country in the world is affected by human trafficking, whether as a country of origin, transit, or destination, and commonly, as all three. Human trafficking is not just a problem in other countries; cases of human trafficking have also been reported in India, which shares a large border with Nepal and Bangladesh. Under the garb of migration, the traffickers have become active and a large number of young girls are being trafficked from both Bangladesh and Nepal to various places in India, especially to Kolkata, Mumbai and Delhi. Despite increased attention and response to the topic of human trafficking, the empirical state of the literature has seen only marginal developments over time, leaving the magnitude of the problem unknown.The literature on trafficking reflects the dilemma of writing on a subject that is not easy to research and document and yet is too grave an issue to ignore. Considering the hidden and criminal nature of the problem, the data presented by most reports is valuable in face of this scarcity. While the adopted definitions, perspectives and approaches to the problem of trafficking may vary the concern with finding effective solutions is common to these studies.
