Child Trafficking in India

Published By: HAQ CRC on eSS | Published Date: June , 2016

Reports of raids in factories and workshops and rescue of children from different cities of the country appear with unfailing regularity. Children from disparate geographical regions: West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Assam, Delhi, Bangalore and Kerala have fallen victims. Children from Nepal, for instance, have been rescued from rat-hole coal mines in Meghalaya; girls from Assam have been found to be married to men in Haryana as there are not enough girls in the state; and children from Tamil Nadu have been kidnapped and sent to Europe. Girls often find themselves in Goa’s spas and parlours where they are forced to cater to needs that exceed massage and health treatments.
