Organ trafficking in India persists as a grave human rights violation, closely linked to widespread poverty and systemic inequality. This study explores how economic desperation compels marginalized individuals to become victims or participants in the illegal organ trade. Despite legal mechanisms like the Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues Act (THOTA), enforcement remains weak, and corruption often facilitates illicit transactions between brokers, medical personnel, and recipients. Through an analysis of case studies, socio-economic data, and policy gaps, this research highlights the structural drivers of organ trafficking in India. Also discussing the international convention of organ trafficking and how it violates human rights..It underscores the urgent need for a multidimensional policy response that includes poverty alleviation, public health education, legal reform, and stronger medical oversight. Addressing the root causes of vulnerability is critical for dismantling organ trafficking networks and protecting human dignity.
