STRENGTHENING LAW ENFORCEMENT RESPONSE IN INDIA AGAINST TRAFFICKING

  • ‘Police’ and ‘Public Order’ are State subjects and as such prevention of the crime of trafficking is primarily the responsibility of the State Governments. However, the Central Government supplements the efforts of State Governments by providing them advice and guidelines from time to time. The Government of India has also provided financial assistance to the States for setting up Anti-Human Trafficking Units at District level. A proposal for setting up and strengthening Anti Human Trafficking Units in all districts of States and UTs under ‘Nirbhaya Fund’ has been approved. The Government of India has signed Memorandums of Understanding with Bangladesh, UAE and Cambodia on prevention of Human Trafficking and has also ratified the United Nations Convention on Transnational Organized Crime (UNCTOC) protocol on Prevention, Suppression and Punishment of Trafficking in Persons, particularly Women and Children.
