KEY POINTS

· No nation can call itself civilised if it tolerates the buying and selling of its daughters.

· Bachpan Bachao Andolan (BBA) and various civil society groups have campaigned for decades for a strong law to end this menace of human trafficking.

· In 2017, marched Bharat Yatra alongside students, governments, the judiciary, multifaith leaders, businesses and civil society to demand for such a law.

· The Government of India has proposed the Trafficking in Persons (Prevention, Care and Rehabilitation) Bill, 2021.

· This Bill aims to tackle all aspects of trafficking including the social and economic causes of the crime, punishment to traffickers, and the protection and rehabilitation of survivors.

· This is achievable if the Bill has the necessary checks and balances against potential misuse of power by agencies, periodic reviews of the law, and adequate allocation of resources for effective implementation.

· COVID-19 has further intensified the need for the law. Traffickers are taking advantage of prolonged school closures and loss of family livelihood.

· Trafficking creates a parallel black economy which fuels child labour, child marriage, prostitution, bonded labour, forced beggary, drug-related crimes, corruption, terrorism and other illicit businesses.

· A strong anti-trafficking law is the moral and constitutional responsibility of our elected leaders, and a necessary step towards nation-building and economic progress.
