The status of Female Trafficking in India..



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..
