Now as we
all know India along with being all diverse in nature ( in the positive manner)
and having all religions and all kinds of languages, so many casts etc we
cannot deny that India is also diverse ( in the negative manner) it
has all sorts of corruption, overpopulation , you will find all sorts of
manners in which a woman can be tortured here etc..So as we can clearly see the
negative points surely outweigh the positive points..I have always felt
obviously being a girl myself that India does not accord the respect to a woman
as it should..we celebrated Navratilova just recently which is a
festival where we respect and prayer for the blessing of all the nine forms
of Durga..and still we treat the woman in our country as if we are just
chattel..
One
clear form of disrespect of woman in India is the increasing number
of Female Trafficking in India..
In India every
year there are a large number of girls who are trafficked from countries
lie Nepal and Bangladesh..The woman from Nepal are also
trafficked in India for the purpose of performing in
circuses.. similarly the women from India are trafficked to
the middle east..there is also a lot of labor trafficking that
exists..here woman as well as children are sent to the countries
of Europe and middle - east where they are exploited they
face problems of sexual abuse etc..This is something that is
very unacceptable in the Indian society..and it is very necessary
that we put a ban on such kind of behavior..
For
stopping women trafficking in India the government has come up with a few
punishments..
The Government of India
prohibits some forms of trafficking for commercial sexual exploitation through
the Immoral Trafficking Prevention Act (ITPA). Prescribed penalties under the
ITPA — ranging from seven years’ to life imprisonment — are sufficiently
stringent and commensurate with those for other grave crimes. India also
prohibits bonded and forced labor through the Bonded Labor Abolition Act, the
Child Labor Act, and the Juvenile Justice Act.
These laws are ineffectually enforced,
however, and their prescribed penalties — a maximum of three years in prison
—are not sufficiently stringent. Indian authorities also use Sections 366(A)
and 372 of the Indian Penal Code, prohibiting kidnapping and selling minors
into prostitution respectively, to arrest traffickers. Penalties under these
provisions are a maximum of ten years’ imprisonment and a fine.
But do these different methods enacted by the Government
actually put a stop to female trafficking..I guess certainly not.. that's because
in the government and the police itself there are many corrupt
bastards who not only allow trafficking to take place but actually
also have a hand at doing it..
Today there are many NGO'S etc that are trying their best
to stop trafficking..but there is a long way to go..if we do not respect the
women of our country and just treat them as another entertainment then this
horrible offense will never stop..
