Human Trafficking

Module 5
What is trafficking?
In its dictionary meaning, the concept of trafficking denotes a trade in
something that should not be traded in. Thus, we have terms like drug
trafficking, arms trafficking and human trafficking. The concept of
trafficking in people refers to the criminal practice of exploitation of human
beings whereby humans are treated as commodities for profit, subjected to
various forms of exploitation.
India
• Immoral Traffic Prevention Act (ITPA 1956) explain the various activities
involved in trafficking. Under Section 5, trafficking includes
• procuring,
• taking and
• even inducing a person for the sake of prostitution.
• Even attempt to procure and attempt to take or cause a person to carry on
prostitution is an offence.
The UN Protocol definition contains three
main elements that constitute trafficking:
• Acts: recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of a person.
• Means: threat/use of force, other forms of coercion, abduction, fraud,
deception or abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability.
• Purpose: prostitution, forced labour or services, slavery, slavery-like
practices; servitude, organ trade etc.
• The second part of the definition of trafficking focuses on the issue of
consent.
