Women Traficking and the Legal Provisions in India

Author(s) Indrani Saha

Abstract Human trafficking, especially the exploitation of women, continues to be a severe violation of human rights both in India and across the globe. This issue involves deceptive and coercive practices that exploit women, often forcing them into various forms of servitude, including sexual exploitation. Although legal safeguards, such as Article 23 of the Indian Constitution, which bans trafficking, and various national laws intended to combat this issue, exist, human trafficking continues to thrive. Contributing factors include economic vulnerability, inadequate law enforcement, and entrenched social stigmas.
This paper investigates the current situation of women's trafficking in India, highlighting important laws like the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act (ITPA) and the Suppression of Immoral Traffic in Women and Girls Act (SITA). It also examines the deficiencies in the legal framework, the cycle of exploitation that perpetuates trafficking, and the critical need for stronger and more comprehensive approaches. Through an analysis of research, judicial decisions, and legal measures, this study seeks to offer an in-depth understanding of the issue and propose effective solutions to address the trafficking of women.
