Human Trafficking

Meaning Of Human Trafficking
The United Nations Convention Against Transitional Organized Crime, signed by eighty countries and the European Union in 2000 defined human trafficking as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by means of threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, or abduction, or fraud, or deception, or abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability, or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to get the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation.

Exploitation shall include, at a minimum, the exploitation or the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labour or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs.

Human trafficking therefore could also mean the sale, purchase, receipt or debt bondage for the purpose of placing or holding the person whether for or not for voluntarily but for domestic, reproductive, bounded, labour or for the removal of organs in slave like conditions.

The victims are frequently moved from one safe house or city to the other by traffickers to confuse them so that the victims can hardly understand. The victims work longer hours but are paid less, the balance will be given to the person responsible for trafficking them.

Categories Of Human Trafficking
There are four categories of human trafficking.

1. Those with their consent: These people actually consent to go with the traffickers to do mutually agreed specified jobs. The victims generally k ow what they are getting into and the arrangement but upon arrival at some points, the terms and conditions of the initial contract disappears and the victims are the coerced or forced into slavery or slave like practices.

2. Those Who Are Deceived: The traffickers or their agents often lie to the victims about the kind of life that awaits them abroad. They are deceived about job opportunities and avenues of making quick and easy money.

3. Recruited Victims: Victims are also recruited through fake advertisements, mail order, bride catalogues and casual acquaintances.

4. Kidnapping: Victims are sometimes kidnapped in case of grown ups. Children and young girls have been abducted on their way from work, school or in war situations.
