IGNOU BLEP-34 Project – Rescue Rehabilitation and Reintegration of Trafficking Victims

Human beings are not property, but unfortunately they are being used for Commercial Sexual Exploitation (CSE) as well as for forced labour. Human trafficking is part of this CSE. Human Trafficking is an organized crime involving overt and covert participation of several offenders at various places and at different stages of crime. Major ingredients of the process of human trafficking are recruitment or hiring or transfer, exploitation and commercialization of human beings. Human trafficking is an illegal form of persons in slavery. Trafficking is the most profitable trade after drugs smuggling and illegal arms business. The term human trafficking is used in a sense by advocacy groups to mean the recruitment, transportation, harboring, or receipt of people for CSE, forced labour and slavery.
