The Manual will enable prosecutors to treat trafficked persons as victims rather than criminals and confront the demand for human trafficking by providing the tools to prosecute and convict traffickers, and end exploitation. Victims and survivors of trafficking, international and national experts, activists, lawyers, prosecutors and members of the judiciary have supported the development of this Manual with ideas, advice and case studies. I acknowledge their contribution and support, even if I cannot name them all. I would also like to thank UNODC for their financial and technical support especially Mr. Gary Lewis, Representative UNODC ROSA and Dr. P. M. Nair, Project Coordinator, UNODC. I hope that this Manual will empower prosecutors and others in the anti-trafficking movement to confront the epidemic of human trafficking. Ruchira Gupta Executive Director Apne Aap Women Worldwide [email protected] Training Manual for Prosecutors on Confronting Human Trafficking 6 Preface Trafficking of women and children is one of the gravest organized crimes and human rights violations, extending beyond boundaries and jurisdictions. Combating and preventing human trafficking requires holistic approach by all stakeholders with integrated action on prosecution, prevention and protection. Keeping this philosophy in mind, Project IND/S16 of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, which is a joint initiative of UNODC and the Government of India, funded by the US Government, has undertaken several initiatives ever since its launch in April 2006 in India. This project is focused on “Strengthening the law enforcement response

  • Domestic Violence Against Women in India: a Case Study
    DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN INDIA: A CASE STUDY ABSTRACT OF THE /^C THESIS SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF fioctor of $I)ilDs;opl)p •^ ^'^ IN (, POLITICAL SCIENCE BY RAHAT ZAMANI Under the Supervision of Dr. Rachana Kanshal DEPARTMENT OF POLITICAL SCIENCE ALJGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY ALIGARH (INDIA) 2009 ABSTRACT Today human beings live in the so-called civilized and democratic society that is based on the principles of equality and freedom for all. It automatically results into the non-acceptance of gender discrimination in principle. Therefore, various International Human Rights norms are in place that insist on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women and advocate equal rights for women. Womens' year, women decade etc. are observed that led to the creation of mass awareness and sensitization of people about rights of women. Many steps are taken by the government in the form of various policies and programmes to promote the status of women and to realize women's rights. But despite all the efforts, the basic issue that threatens and endangers the very existence of women is the issue of domestic violence against women. John Stuart Mill put it into his book 'the subjection of women' in 1869 that, 'marriage should be thought of as a partnership of equals analogous to a business partnership and the family not a school of despotism but the real school of the virtues of freedom'. Contrary to this women who constitute about half of the world's population are the worst victim of violence and exploitation within home.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Fifth Annual Interdisciplinary Conference on Human Trafficking 2013 by an authorized administrator of DigitalCommons@University of Nebraska - Lincoln. Wither Childhood? Child Trafficking in India Ibrahim Mohamed Abdelfattah Abdelaziz This article reviews the current research on domestic trafficking of children in India. Child trafficking in India is a highly visible reality. Children are being sold for sexual and labor exploitation, adoption, and organ harvesting. The article also analyzes the laws and interventions that provide protection and assistance to trafficked children. There is no comprehensive legislation that covers all forms of exploitation. Interven- tions programs tend to focus exclusively on sex trafficking and to give higher priority to rehabilitation than to prevention. Innovative projects are at a nascent stage. Keywords: human trafficking, child trafficking, child prostitution, child labor, child abuse Human trafficking is based on the objectification of a human life and the treat- ment of that life as a commodity to be traded in the economic market.
