Studing India Homework

Human Traffricking

     India has many cruel and harass issues such as human trafficking, child exploitation, and forced labor. Human trafficking is like modern day slavery. People trick others into working for them under their harass conditions. Men, women, and children are forced to work in brick kilns, rice mills, agriculture, and embroidery factories. Women and girls are forced into marriage. Children are forced to work as factors workers, domestic servants, beggars, and agriculture workers.  They are trafficked for the purposes of labor and commercial sexual exploitation. Girls are sold at a young age and suffer with diseases such as HIDS or AIDS. India is a destination for women and girls from Nepal and Bangladesh. In India, there are millions of children from poor families who are subjected to forced labor. There are more than 250,000 Nepalese girls and women in Indian brothels. Brothels are any house, room, conveyance or place, or any portion of any house, room, conveyance or place, which is used for purposes of sexual exploitation or abuse for the gain of another person. They are either sold by their parents or tricked into employment.  Local recruiters sell them to brokers for 10 USD. Brokers sell them to brothel owners for 1,500. India has been placed on the US human trafficking tier 2 watch list.
    
     Some say that the cause of human trafficking in India is because of lack of human rights and money. But what does the law say? Well, in1956 the Government of India passes the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act. It states that brothels are illegal but in practice they are restricted in a certain location, that sex work is neither legal nor illegal. Punishment for keeping a brothel or allowing premises to be used as a brothel is punishment up to 3 years. Human trafficking  is happening in India every day; many people are suffering and might suffer for the rest their lives.
