Trafficking means the act of transporting, harbouring or receiving a thing for some illegal purpose. Generally trafficking of human beings is the process of sending the person from one place to another forcefully for some financial gain. Trafficking of woman and children for bagging or selling for sexual purpose or for any other illegal activity is the serious crime. This crime is a global issue. This crime is committed not by a single person but by an organized group. Although the person of any age is on the target of the group of criminals, yet the woman and children (male or female) are the main victims of such crimes. Crime of trafficking against women and children is committed for many illegal purposes such as sexual harassment, bagging, selling the girls for marriage etc. Various laws have been made for protecting the women and children from trafficking. Penal provision under Indian Penal Code, Immoral trafficking Act with amendments in 2006 and other laws specifically provide protection to women and children from this organized crime. Part III of The Constitution also includes protection against trafficking as Fundamental Right and therefore our judiciary is also active in protecting the persons from this crime.
