In the fight ofAnti Human Trafficking Shakti Vahini has been workingon prevention, protection and prosecution of the humantrafficking cases.

Gravest form of trafficking is for the purpose of

commercial sexual exploitation. From the very inceptionof the organisation, Shakti Vahini has fought tooth and nailto not only rescue children and women but to also preventit. Decoy operations with the local police , Central Bureauof Investigation (CBI) ,Anti Human trafficking Units(AHTU) , Crime Branch of different State Police and otherlike agencies are organised to apprehend traffickers andfor rescue of trafficked victims. Frequent rescueoperations are conducted with the help of lawenforcement agencies in the red light area and also wherelocal intelligence shows the presence of any person who iskept in bonded conditions and has willingness to leave.Active steps have been taken to burst the bubble of sex

trafficking carried out under the garb of massage parloursand other such services. Informal Surveillance systemshave been established by us at various railway and busstations especially in Delhi (destination state), Jharkhand,Assam and West Bengal (major source states).

Fighting Sex Trafficking andCommercial Sexual Exploitation

Child labour is a chronic problem which varies in scale andmanifests in various ways like domestic labour, factorybased labour, traditional trades (like agarbatti, beedi,carpet weaving) etc. The cities where most children endup with the great big city dream have turned into hubs foremploying children as young as 9‐10 years, throughillegally run placement agencies. Weak legislation has alsogiven them unprecedented opportunities to exploitchildren with mass illegal migration taking place everyday.

The children are employed at as less as $20 ‐28 a month(Rs.1000‐1400). The money often doesn’t reach theparents and is misappropriated by the placement agent.Often children face emotional/mental, physical and sexualabuse at the hands of the employers.

Shakti Vahini does rescue operation of children in forcedlabour situations in collaboration with various lawenforcement agencies. The organization undertakes a lotof awareness programmes on the issue of child labour andreaches out and works with various stakeholders like the

It is an organised crimeso it is extremely important for all of us to join hands inorder to curb this crime. The need of strengthening of therestoration and repatriation of the victims was stressed.The impact of low sex ratio in Haryana which leads tohuman trafficking also dwelt at length. As a part of thisprogramme a few recent case studies were also sharedwith the present gathering. Some of the case studieshandled by particular police stations in Gurgaon wereshared by concerned police personnel themselves. A

checklist in every police station which will contain therelevant sections related to women and children will bedistributed in all Police Stations.

National Initiative for Child Protection:

Victim Support:The organization as a part of its various interventionobserved that the survivors have to face lot of difficultieswhile appearing before the court for deposition. The courtsummons them and in return victims are given only thetravelling allowance. The state does not look after theiraccommodation, food, local travelling expenses. Thesevictims are being threatened by the traffickers for notappearing before the court. In many cases the survivor areserved the summon copy before 2/3 days of the hearingdate. In such circumstances it is very difficult for thesurvivors to come long way from the source states to the

destination courts for deposition. There are instances inwhich the police officer going to serve the summon joinshands with the source police and submits before the courtthat the survivor's family could not be traced. For thejustice of the survivors the project has done advocacy withthe railway ministry so that their railway reservation getsconfirmed within a short period of time. The project hasalso done advocacy with the Govt. of West Bengal,Jharkhand and Assam for providing accommodation to

to the survivors in the state Guest Houses in Delhi whilethey will come for the court hearings. In some of thedifficult cases where the law enforcement failed to tracethe victim the court directs the implementing agency forits intervention in bringing the survivor for depositionbefore the court. The project in its implementing areas isworking for tracing the survivors and also to producethem before the court as per the court direction.
