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.

  • Human Trafficking in the South Asian Region: SAARC's Response and Initiatives
    Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities Vol. 1, No. 1, 2015, pp. 14-31 http://www.publicscienceframework.org/journal/jssh ISSN: 2381-7763 (Print); ISSN: 2381-7771 (Online) Human Trafficking in the South Asian Region: SAARC’s Response and Initiatives Chanchal Kumar * Department of Political Science, Janki Devi Memorial College, University of Delhi, India Abstract Human trafficking is considered to be a serious violation of human security. Causes that contribute to human trafficking are commonly believed to be related to poverty, globalization and economic disparities among countries. Human trafficking is the modern equivalent to slavery. It presents a dangerous threat to the human rights and human dignity of many people each year. Despite this, it remains one of the least understood forms of transnational crime, with major gaps existing in both the data on the prevalence of the problem, as well as gaps in the ability of legislators to properly address the problem in their respective countries. Human trafficking is a serious violation of human rights because of the involuntary manner in which trafficked victims are recruited, entrapped, transported and subsequently subjected to the exploitation and abuses inherent in the act.

I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank you all for your constant support towards our cause and also present you with Apne Aap Women’s Collective’s Annual Report for F.Y. 2015-16. I’m pleased to let you know that this year we were once again bestowed with increasing recognition of our work on both national and international levels: we were awarded the Gulabrao Ganacharya Award for 2015, selected as the top 150 Global Finalists under BASF’s Connected to Care Program, and awarded the GuideStar India NGO Transparency Award for voluntarily showcasing our financial and legal compliances to all stakeholders. Additionally, we welcomed interns and volunteers from India, Europe, and the United States of America during the year and, for the first time, had remote interns from the University of Michigan who worked throughout the year to create educational videos for Udaan girls. During the past financial year, along with the existing services, we introduced two important projects; the Umang children’s Night Shelter and the Beautician Training Project for the Umeed women. We are pleased to let you know that the Night Shelter Program has proven to be of immense benefit to the children as we have observed positive behavioural changes and social skills development in them. The women enrolled under AAWC’s Beautician Training Program were also assisted in acquiring advance training and internships.

  • South Asian Border Crossings, Migration and Sex Work
    Sexuality Research & Social Policy http://nsrc.sfsu.edu December 2008 Vol. 5, No. 4 South Asian Border Crossings and Sex Work: Revisiting the Question of Migration in Anti-Trafficking Interventions Svati P. Shah Abstract: Tracing the genealogy of U.S. foreign policy interests in trafficking through the first major con- temporary trafficking case in the United States, the author shows that historical concerns about pro- tecting U.S. borders form a set of principles criminalizing migrants and argues that these principles are being exported through U.S. anti-trafficking work abroad. Moving from the moment in the 1990s when a consolidated anti-trafficking agenda was being determined in the United States, the author discusses the ways in which this agenda is now potentially migrating to South Asia and, in particular, to India— albeit with some major tensions already in play. The author argues that states’ anxieties about migra- tion are themselves migrating, such that states in different regions are aiming to coordinate their responses to increased economic migration everywhere, and shows that anxieties about preventing sex work gain purchase in an international context in which migration and decriminalized borders are increasingly suspect.
