Abstract A multitude of socio-economic issues, such as those that impede national development and sustain cycles of poverty and inequality, contribute to child trafficking in India, making it one of the most critical human rights concerns. Poverty, lack of education and healthcare, gender discrimination, and illiteracy are some of the socioeconomic factors identified as contributing to the problem of child trafficking. This paper delves into how these elements put children at risk of being used by traffickers, who prey on families that are longing for a better life. The study also explores the societal and cultural standards that uphold child
labour, sexual exploitation, and forced marriage as forms of child trafficking. In addition to rescuing and rehabilitating trafficked children, it stresses the importance of tackling the underlying causes of trafficking via social and economic development, education, and awareness campaigns. To successfully prevent child trafficking, the study argues for stronger financial safety nets, improved access to schooling, and more inter-agency coordination. The study’s overarching goal is to help put an end to child trafficking in India by recommending policies that would make our country safer for kids and bring about lasting social transformation.
