    2 1. Introduction Spices constitute an important group of agricultural produce. They are used in manufactures of medicines, cosmetics, condiments, sweets, beverages and preservatives. Many value added products such as oils and oleoresins, curry powders, beverages, pickles etc. are also produced from them. Almost all countries in the world including those which do not produce consume spices or spice products. Thus they have an important place in international market. India is one of the largest producers and exporters of spices in the world. According to the Spices Board of India, there are fifty two varieties of spices cultivated in India. Pepper, cardamom, ginger, turmeric, nutmeg, clove, tamarind etc. are important among them. There is a total area of 2.3 million hectares of land under spices cultivation in India. Its annual production is estimated at 27 lakh tonnes valued at Rs. 1300 crores. More than 2.5 lakh farmers in rural areas of India are dependent on spices cultivation for livelihood and employment. The country has a share of about 44 per cent in quantity and 36 per cent in value in world spices trade. The state of Kerala, situated on the south western tip of India, is also noted for the cultivation of spices. A large variety of spices such as pepper, cardamom, turmeric, ginger, tamarind, clove, cinnamon, vanilla etc are grown in the state in most of its districts. Among the spices cultivated in Kerala, black pepper popularly known as ‘black gold’ and cardamom, the ‘queen of spices’ are the two major ones. Kerala accounted for 95 per cent of the total pepper production in India in the year 2009-10 and its share in the cardamom production of the country during this period was as high as 78 per cent.

    WWW.LIVELAW.IN 16 July 2020 To, Prof. (Dr.) Ranbir Singh Chairperson & Vice-Chancellor Committee for Reforms in Criminal Laws Centre for Criminology and Victimology National Law University, Delhi Re: Concerns of Organisations and Individuals working on Child Rights regarding the Committee for Reforms in Criminal Laws Dear Prof (Dr.) Singh, As lawyers, activists, social workers, counsellors, academicians, psychologists, policy consultants and other professionals working on child rights across the country, we write this letter to you to put forth our strong objection to the constitution of the Committee for Reforms in Criminal Laws and the processes employed by it, including the rushed timeline proposed. We take issue on the following points:- 1. Lack of Diversity The constitution of the Committee lacks representation from various groups and sections of the society that are to be directly impacted by reforms in criminal laws of the country. There is a stark absence of women members, members from the LGBTQ community, members belonging to religious minorities, members belonging to the SC/ST groups, and persons with disabilities, to name a few. In your Public Notice dated 08.07.2020, you have made it clear that the structure of the Committee is the mandate of the MHA and is beyond your powers to intervene. However, we find that to be an easy way out on your part and we would like to see efforts on your part to engage with the MHA that constituted you, to make the structure of the Committee more inclusive. 2. Unconscionable Timing and Exclusionary Processes This process seems to have no justification in being rolled out in the manner in which it has in the midst of a global pandemic.

This model consists of 3 interventions – Night Care Centre (NCC), Education Support Program (ESP) and Institutional Placement Program (IPP). Prerana’s model is nationally and globally recognized as one that has a successful track record and one that is replicable in any red-light area setting. For over three decades, Prerana has been deploying the interventions in some of the largest red-light areas in Mumbai and Thane districts. Over the past few years Prerana has also taken into account the broader group of children-at-risk, whose vulnerabilities have a correlation with children from the red-light areas. In particular are our initiatives – Aarambh and Sanmaan that look at issues related to child sexual maltreatment and children in beggary. Our Mission: Prerana works to end intergenerational sex trafficking and to protect women and children from the threats of sexual and overall exploitation by defending their rights, restoring their dignity providing a safe environment, supporting their education and health and leading major advocacy efforts. Our Vision: We want to see a world where the innocence, weakness, and vulnerability of any human being is not exploited by others for commercial sexual exploitation and trafficking, the world is free of trade in human beings for sexual slavery, every child born leads a life full of options and enjoys a right to choose, a victim of commercial sexual exploitation and trafficking is not re-victimized but has a fair chance of social recognition and the society becomes more compassionate to the victims and intolerant of injustice.

    Who Trusts Local Human Rights Organizations? Evidence from Three World Regions

    HUMAN RIGHTS QUARTERLY Who Trusts Local Human Rights Organizations? Evidence from Three World Regions James Ron* & David Crow** ABSTRACT Local human rights organizations (LHROs) are crucial allies in international efforts to promote human rights. Without support from organized civil society, efforts by transnational human rights reformers would have little effect. Despite their importance, we have little systematic information on the correlates of public trust in LHROs. To fill this gap, we conducted key informant interviews with 233 human rights workers from sixty countries, and then administered a new Human Rights Perceptions Poll to represen- tative public samples in Mexico (n = 2,400), Morocco (n = 1,100), India (n = 1,680), and Colombia (n = 1,699). Our data reveal that popular trust in local rights groups is consistently associated with greater respondent familiarity with the rights discourse, actors, and organizations, along with greater skepticism toward state institutions and agents. The evidence fails to provide consistent, strong support for other commonly held expectations, however, including those about the effects of foreign funding, socioeconomic status, and transnational connections. I. INTRODUCTION Domestic civil society is a crucial player in international efforts to promote human rights. Without organized pressure “from below,” governments will rarely translate international human rights laws and commitments into mean- * James Ron holds the Harold E.
