Trafficking

Introduction:

Trafficking is a vicious and selfless crime from that has become an epidemic of the world. It is a trade that includes not only sex, but pedophilia, human slavery and even organ harvesting. The concept of trafficking denotes a trade in something that should not be traded in. We have terms like drug trafficking, arms trafficking and human trafficking. The concept of Trafficking in people refers to the criminal practice of exploitation of human beings where they are treated as commodities for profit and after being trafficked, are subjected to long term exploitation. [1]

Human trafficking refers to the illegal and immoral buying and selling of human beings as commodities to meet global demands for commercial sexual slavery or forced labor.[2]Human trafficking is one of the severest violations of dignity, worth and rights of human beings. Trafficking in human beings is said to be the third largest trade after drugs and arms. Trafficking of human beings especially of women and children is one of the fastest growing trades, generating unaccountable profits annually. It has sometimes direct and sometimes indirect, connections with the illegal arms and illicit drug trade industries. It’s a kind of forced slavery on human beings.

In this paper we are going to know more about the world of Trafficking like how they have been recruited, exploited, how it impacts individual, social life’s etc.

II. Process and Organisation of Trafficking:

Trafficking is a money-spinning fairy industry. In some of the countries it is controlled by criminal organisations. The majority of trafficking is done by smaller groups who are specialized in particular areas like recruitment, transportation etc. Now we will look at the recruitment, how the people are recruited in various types.

a. Recruitment:

People are recruited at places like bus stops, cinema halls, railway stations, streets, cafes, beauty parlours, national highways, construction work sites, within homes, and areas where locals are displaced without proper rehabilitation are also the sites for possible victims. Some of the studies suggest or report that traffickers choose special times for recruitment. They take advantage of difficult periods either before the harvesting season or during a drought, where people at that time look elsewhere for income to survive. They also keep themselves informed about severely needy areas or those that suffered climatic, economic or political disasters. They recruit people during festivals.[3]

Modes of Trafficking:

Traffickers are usually young men and middle aged woman who are older than the people whom they recruit. Some are natives and operate as agents who travel so many regions and generally have the links with the villages to which the victims belong. Purchasers are reportedly substance abusers or gamblers. Many of the traffickers are older women who are either prostitutes or are themselves in forced prostitution. They often speak several languages and have multiple roles. They use various ways to for trafficking people.[4]

The ranges of strategies reportedly used vary from extremely violent actions like drugging, kidnapping and abduction to persuasion, material inducements, befriending and deception. People are lured with fake job offers or false marriage offers. In the South Asian region, offers of marriage without dowries are welcomed, as it makes easy to arrange fake marriages. They approach women and girls in groups as it helps them to win their trust.[5]

Recruiters or Procurers:

Recruiters can be neighbors, family, friends, relatives of friends, friends returning from abroad, women who have migrated or who have trafficked, husbands, fathers, boyfriends or lovers. Some can be gay men who are trusted by women because of their sexual orientation. Some can also be drug peddlers, head masons at construction sites, even band leaders in dance /live bars. More specific recruiters include motorcycle pilots in Goa or labor contractors. They use friends and acquaintances to recruit or rely on word of mouth.[6]

Players:[7]

Organized trafficking is said to involve a range of players along the road from gaining to exploitation. Trafficking network may involve the police, visa/transport officials, railway/ bus authorities and employees, taxi/auto rickshaw drivers etc. They fill various roles that are classified as financiers or investors, procure or recruiters, organizers, document forgers, corrupt public officials, brothel operators and the owners and managers of sex establishments, escorts, guides or travel companions or crew members.

Types of Operations:[8]

Trafficking can be done through organized international and local networks. Thus, they may operate alone in small gangs or as part of organized crime groups. Gangs and criminal groups are reportedly the dominant modes of trafficking in South Asia. A Joint Women’s Programme (JWP) study indicated the presence of an organized system of trafficking of girls for profit, which accounts for the greatest number of girls brought, transported and sold within and outside India. As a part of an organized network, traffickers have less freedom and make smaller profits compared to the profits they would make as independent operators.

 b. Labour Exploitation:

The problem of labour exploitation is widely prevalent in India. According to the SC’s definition, all those who are paid less than the stipulated minimum wages fall within the category of bonded labourers. Children trafficked for labour exploitation may also be subjected to sexual abuse and exploitation. Besides being forced to work as domestic labour or being exploited by the small-scale sector, people are trafficked for agricultural, construction or industrial work. They may be trafficked for illegal activities like drug peddling, organ trading, forced marriages, begging or be sold off through adoption rackets.  [9]

India is a source, destination, and transit country for men, women, and children subjected to forced labor and sex trafficking. The forced labor of millions of its citizens constitutes India’s largest trafficking problem; men, women, and children in debt bondage are forced to work in industries such as brick kilns, rice mills, agriculture, and embroidery factories. A common characteristic of bonded labor is the use of physical and sexual violence as forced tools. Ninety percent of trafficking in India is internal, and those from India’s most disadvantaged social divisions, including the lowest castes, are most vulnerable. Children are also subjected to forced labor as factory workers, domestic servants, beggars, agricultural workers etc. An increasing number of job placement agencies lure adults and children for forced labor or sex trafficking under false promises of employment. Indian boys from Bihar were increasingly subjected to forced labor in embroidery factories in Nepal.[10]

Some Indians who migrate willingly every year for work as domestic servants and low-skilled labourers find themselves in forced labor in the Middle East and, to a lesser extent, Southeast Asia, the United States, Europe, Southern Africa, the Caribbean, and other countries. In some cases, such workers are lured from their communities through fraudulent recruitment, leading them directly to situations of forced labor, including debt bondage; in other cases, high debts incurred to pay recruitment fees leave them vulnerable to labor trafficking. Nationals from Bangladesh and Nepal are trafficked through India for forced labor and commercial sexual exploitation in the Middle East.[11]

III. Trafficking In India

India is the world’s hub in prostitution-related human trafficking and forced labour.  The United States (US) has placed India on the Tier-2 Watch List for human trafficking for the 5th consecutive year as India has failed to take effective measure in combating it. According to its report, India is a source, destination, and transit country for men, women, and children trafficked for the purposes of forced labour and commercial sexual exploitation.[12]

The report also says that the numbers of persons affected could be anywhere between 20 to 65 million. According to some estimates, the estimated annual turnover of human trafficking in India is around 20 billion rupees. What is worrying is that out of the total number of persons affected by human trafficking, as many as 80 per cent are women and 50 per cent are children.[13]

a. Statistics:

In 2011, police statistics found that nearly 35,000 children were officially reported missing across India, with most of the missing children being girls. According to the United Nations, up to 50 million girls and women are missing throughout the country due to female feticide (the abortion of a fetus because it is female) and infanticide. The strong preference for males has created a shortage of females to be wives, leading to a rise in human trafficking for brides.[14]

According to the founder of a charity that works in India’s red light districts, the average age of female prostitutes in India were between 9 and 13 in 2012.[15]The population of women and children in sex work in India is stated to be between 70,000 and 1 million. Of these, 30percent are only 20 years of age. Nearly 15 percent began sex work when they are below 15, and 25 percent entered between 15 and 18 years. A rough estimate prepared by an NGO called End Children’s Prostitution in Asian tourism reveals that there are around 2million prostitutes in India, among them 20percemt are minors. [16]

The scale of phenomena of trafficking is very difficult to judge. It is very difficult to collect data on trafficking because of the underground nature of the problems. The ‘trade is secretive, the women are silenced, the traffickers are dangerous and not many agencies are counting.’ United Nations estimates that 4 million people in a year are traded against their will to work in some form of slavery, many of them are children and believes that in last 30 years trafficking in women and children for sexual exploitation in Asia alone has victimised more than 30 million people. [17]

The United States report says that the numbers of persons affected could be anywhere between 20 to 65 million. According to some estimates, the estimated annual turnover of human trafficking in India is around 20 billion rupees. What is distressing is that out of the total number of persons affected by human trafficking, as many as 80 per cent are women and 50 per cent are children.[18]

b. Women Trafficking:

Women and girls are trafficked within the country for the purposes of forced prostitution. Religious pilgrimage centres and cities popular for tourism continue to be vulnerable to child sex tourism. Women and girls from Nepal and Bangladesh, and an increasing number of females from Uzbekistan, Ukraine, and Russia, are also subjected to sex trafficking in India. There were increasing reports of females from north-eastern states and Odisha subjected to servile marriages in states with low female-to-male child sex ratios, including Haryana and Punjab, and also reports of girls subjected to transactional sexual exploitation in the Middle East under the guise of temporary marriages. Maoist armed groups known as the Naxalites forcibly recruited children into their ranks. Establishments of sex trafficking are moving from more traditional locations – such as brothels – to locations that are harder to find, and are also shifting from urban areas to rural areas, where there is less detection.[19]

In India the trafficking of women is more. The trafficker’s target the women who are widows, need of money, who ran away from home, are easily trapped by the traffickers, some women comes into prostitution to gain more money.

c. Child Trafficking:[20]

Child trafficking is one of the world's major problems. Every year 1.2 million children are trafficked by different agents. The traffickers bring children and engage them in factories, mills and brothels. It is a worst form of child labor as defined by ILO (International Labor Organization). Here the traffickers recruit, transport, transfer children for the purpose of exploitation.

The agents involved in trafficking attract the child and his family under the guise of providing employment. They lure them with the promises of a lucrative job and comfortable lifestyle abroad and bring them to sell at a high amount of money. Then the child is engaged into begging, smuggling, drug trade, military and circuses, beer bars, factories as labourers. As such, the child has to face tremendous torture physically, sexually and mentally. There is a wide network of these cheats, often known as traffickers. Brokers, owners of brothels, family relatives, friends, the police, and political leaders may be connected with this network.

To save individuals from human trafficking, effective legal agencies should be set up that work against traffickers and exploiters. Since the network of traffickers is interrelated, we need to take strict measures to save people from human trading. These include effective monitoring, effective coordination between the ministries of tourism, labor and transport to fight against this socio-economic problem. This is an issue that needs to be dealt with an iron hand as it involves child abuse and the denial of basic human rights.

IV. Impact of trafficking:

Human trafficking is an ill troubling our society even in the 21st century. Men, women and children, anyone can become its victim. It happens to be the biggest organized crime in the world, after illegal dealing of drugs and weapons. The effects of human trafficking are numerous and far reaching.

It is the possession or trading of humans for the purpose of engaging them in slavery and prostitution through the means of force and coercion. It is a flourishing industry that continues to grow every year. It is feared, that illegal trafficking of humans may soon beat the illegal drug trade. Every day there are thousands of people falling victims to advertisements luring them with the promise of a better future. In India, the victims may have been abducted, deceived or even bought from their family members. They are vulnerable due to the lack of education, poor financial standing and absolute immaturity. Trafficking affects at least 7 million lives each year, worldwide. From the view of the economy, health, psychology and the society, the effects are scary.[21]

a. Individual:

Trafficked persons are reportedly shocked by their experiences. Depression and suicidal thoughts are commonly reported. The mental and emotional state of the survivors may include malevolence, helplessness, withdrawal, dissociation, self-blame and identification with the aggressor, distraction, a foreshortened view of time, normalisation and shaping, so that the victim convince themselves that their experiences had to happen instead of viewing them as traumatic.

 Some of the observed psychiatric stress disorders among survivors of trafficking are post-traumatic stress disorder, depressive disorder, dissociative disorders, psychotic disorders and eating disorders. Women who are made to bear the responsibility of upholding their family honour through their sexual purity face additional stress because of the prevalent morality.

The use of sexual protection is negligible in this industry, leaving the exploited at a high risk of contracting various sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS that they further pass on to the men and their partners. In some cases, victims are also subjected to substance abuse by being forced to take drugs. Such individuals also have to constantly battle with drug addiction. Improper supply of meals and the lack of nutritious food cause malnourishment in these entrapped victims. Poor living conditions also contribute to the development of various diseases that these victims suffer from in later years. [22]

Besides being branded as outcasts and facing moral and legal isolation, trafficked people are exposed to HIV/AIDS infections, drug addiction, high-risk abortions and teenage pregnancies, which may affect their reproductive health for life. A study by an NGO in Dhaka found that ‘more than 20 percent of street children prostitutes die before reaching adulthood… Almost 22 percent become physically invalid and are fit only for begging’. Since such psychological trauma usually remains unaddressed ‘the abused turn into abusers’, with high probability of them becoming criminals. The      victims who are trafficked are forced to lead illegal lives. Illegality spots every dimension of their lives, making them criminals. Their criminalization severely stigmatizes and intensifies their victimization, and leaves them with no recourse for redress.

b. Social:

Social factors are those which have been resulted from the social behavior, social practice, social customs, etc. here I want to bring to notice about some of the areas which have been contributing to the cause of trafficking in India.

 Child Marriage:

The practice of child marriage still exists in our country and so does dowry. The man who does not claim the dowry at the time of marriage is considered as the perfect groom and the daughter is carelessly “disposed in marriage.” Thus the girls are trafficked in the name of marriage to Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and other states.[23]

 Social Stigma:

The Social Stigma associated with single, divorced, unwed, widowed, sexually abused women and young girls also is a major contributing factor. The unwillingness of the society to accept them as an integral part leads to frustration, isolation and with no support system to provide them security, they fall a prey to the traffickers. [24]

 Domestic Violence:

Indian women have little economic emancipation especially in the family sphere. On the other hand some of them may be regularly subjected to domestic violence and abuse, from family and friends. So the woman is forced to opt out of such situations. Many women who opt or escape often find themselves helpless. The children from such situations are vulnerable to run away situations and experiments when they get into the hands of traffickers.[25]

Trafficking involves the violation of a whole gamut of laws and human rights. It becomes a threat to society because traffickers operate across borders with impunity with the growing involvement of organized criminals and by generally undermining the rule of law. It threatens the very fabric of society because it involves not only criminals but also law enforcers. The economic losses to communities and governments are enormous if considered in terms of lost returns on human or social capital investments. The cost of countering criminal trafficking activities puts an additional strain on already limited government resources for law enforcement. A vast amount of potential income from trafficked labour is lost in hidden sectors. [26]

V. Measures to Prevent Trafficking:

a. LEGAL:

In her critique of trafficking laws in South Asia, Sanghera (1999) argues that the legal system disempowers trafficked persons through an erosion of their constitutional and human rights while apparently attempting to protect them from harm and abuse an impact that is contrary to the aims of anti-trafficking measures. She also points out that the laws do not address the cases of women rescued as adults but only deal with those who may have been trafficked as children. Now we look at the laws of India which protects the women and children.[27]

Indian Law:[28]

Human Trafficking is not comprehensively defined in any Indian Law. However there are many laws where reference to different forms of trafficking is made. Human trafficking is basically dealt with by four laws in India.

1. The Indian Penal Code, 1861.

2. The Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956.

3. Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children), Act, 2000.

4. Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act, 1976.

Despite presence of such a wide legal framework, there is a need to enforce such laws to curb trafficking from and into India. Not only enforcing law but there is also a need to develop the areas, which serve as a source for human trafficking. The root cause of the problem is poverty, under development, unemployment among others. Therefore we have to address the problem both socially and by enforcing law India should also play a role at the international level to stop trafficking countries into India.

b. NGO’S:[29]

NGO’s play a important role in the very alarming but overlooked issue. Their role may be grouped as follows.

Targeted Research: For a better understanding of what can be done to reduce the problem of trafficking, appropriate and targeted research is needed. A systematic research agendum that included both qualitative and quantitative methods is mandatory. Also an information system needs to be developed for getting updated information. NGO’s may undertake research for advocacy on trafficking in women and children by identifying the causes, mechanisms, trends, high-risk areas and routes of trafficking. Few of the suggestive area of research may be as Literature review and situation analysis, NGO inventory, Mapping exercises, Victim database, Documentation of practices, Indicator development review etc.

Networking: Networking activities are essential for standardization of messages, materials and interventions on a particular issue. NGO’s working on trafficking may organize national, regional and international networks to share information and experience through cooperation and coordination. These NGO’s may work as a combined front to rescue, repatriate and reintegrate victims. The NGO’s need to cover the trafficking issues in their programmes to raise public awareness and encourage community involvement.

To prevent trafficking NGO’s needed to work together with the government and try to develop national policies and programmes.

c. Creating Awareness (Schools, Churches, and Colleges):

There is a need awareness programmes on trafficking should be done in schools, colleges, churches. As the children grow they should know about this dangerous evil that is destroying many families. In schools, the children should be taught about the consequences of trafficking. They have educated about it. And in colleges, the students should be taught about the ways of trafficking and how the traffickers use various methods to indulge them in trafficking.

In this issue, Church should play a crucial role in educating the church youth, members and children.  Church has to be the center point in organizing awareness campaigns in various places.

VI. Pastoral Response:

a. Rehabilitation:

The rehabilitation that is being done for these rescued women and children are all results of NGO’s initiatives. But it has been observed that the rehabilitation is always difficult. The following may be stated as the reasons for this, [30]

1. Loss of self Esteem   

2. Loss of trust

3. Impatience to return to family.

4. Refusal from the family and the community.

5. Illiteracy.

6. Unskilled.

 7. Unstable temperament and Social stigma associated with them.

In instances where the root cause of trafficking was poverty, restoring the girl(as per the court orders) in her village without providing her the means to ensure her livelihood would only place the girl in a more vulnerable position and enhance the chances of her being re-trafficked. Though it gives restoration orders, the government does not have any infrastructure in place to provide for women and girls who are not accepted back by their families. However, NGO’s on their own through various means are trying to reach out to these girls and create opportunities for their economic independence and a better life.[31]

In rehabilitation process, NGO’s are playing a good role than government. They are voluntarily rescuing the people from the traffickers and providing the needs to the rescued people and taking care of them in a good way. These are not only providing the basic needs, but also help those people in providing jobs in their organisations are some other and helping them in their livelihood. They established lot of rehabilitation centers for these kinds of victims. As pastors we need to show care for these people to come out of it. We need show our love towards them which gives more satisfaction for them than any other thing. They need love and care as it is very essential for them at this stage.

b. Biblical Response:

The biblical accounts of creation make it clear that every person is made in God's own image and likeness (Gen 1:27). That every human being is special in the sight of God because each and every person bears God's image does not seem to be true in the lives of prostitutes. No one is born as a prostitute, but under the pressures of society, family, and culture, a person falls into the depth of prostitution. The fact that a person is a prostitute does not make them any lower in bearing the image of God. Both the Old and New Testaments bear witness to how God has included even prostitutes in the story of salvation. They are considered as equals with other human beings. Jesus' treatment of the woman caught in adultery (John 7:53-8:11) demonstrates that he considered prostitutes as fallen beings not unlike all other people who also are fallen beings in need of deliverance and restoration.[32]

In the social and cultural world of the Bible, women had a lower standing than men. Prostitutes were considered third class citizens. It is striking that Jesus did not treat women simply as women of their times, but as persons of value. He took them seriously. He asked them questions, encouraged their potential, and lifted them up to the dignity they deserved. Jesus' attitude toward women and his treatment of them was radical. He considered men and women and even prostitutes to be equal—equal in their need to be helped, and equal in their need to be pointed toward the new future of God's kingdom. He showed us that even prostitutes are to be recognized as subjects in their own right, as fellow human beings, fellow disciples, and not just the objects of men's desire. Their lives and rights are to be recognized as important and not to be endangered by the natural desires of men for even Jesus took them seriously and respected their opinions. He embraced those women who were despised by their society, and he offered them forgiveness and compassion. He did not care for their profession, but he cared for them. This he did with an unconditional love, helping them to realize that they were worthy in God's eyes and that they are in the heart of God.[33]

We need to show love to those people who are in a state of depression. Love helps us to build trustworthy relationships with these people. We Christians must understand that we are continuing the ministry of Jesus and that we are to treat everyone with dignity and respect because everyone is created in the image and likeness of God. Only then will we serve and minister the way Jesus did. Then we will be able to understand the heart of God, and we will serve in reverence and obedience, and genuinely care even for those in the sex trade. As Jesus said to a sexually exploited woman in his day, "Has no one condemned you? Then neither do I condemn you, go now and leave your life of sin" (John 8:10-11).[34]

VII. Conclusion:

To fight against human trafficking, several short-term and long-term measures are needed to be taken up at all levels. There is an urgent need to create awareness among the public about human trafficking. Media can play a very effective role here. As now we can see the power of media in our country it will be good if it takes a crucial role in tackling trafficking. Measures should be taken to reduce poverty which helps in battling in long run. Government has to play a key role in the reduction of poverty. As India is also a transfer point for human trafficking, the government should take speedy measures to secure India's borders.

There is a need to develop an institutionalized system of co-ordination between the law enforcement agencies and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) who sometimes prove to be more effective than government agencies in exposing human trafficking networks. There is a need to have greater co-ordination between different states in India as trafficking has a long trail from the source point to the destination with several transit points in between. Investigation in the cases involving human trafficking should be carried out with the aim to destroy this long trail. Increased co-ordination between government departments like police, public welfare, health, women and child is required to ensure an effective response. Government and NGOs should work together to ensure post-rescue rehabilitation of the victims in terms of providing them healthcare, education and other employment opportunities.[35]
