ABSTRACT

Person trafficking is expressly prohibited by the Indian constitution. 'Traffic in human beings and other comparable types of forced labour,' according to Article 23 of the constitution's Fundamental Rights section. Although there is no precise definition of human trafficking, it may be said that it entails the transfer of a person under duress or deception, as well as the subsequent exploitation and commercialization of that person. The trafficked person's vulnerability is exploited by the abusers, who include traffickers, recruiters, transporters, vendors, buyers, and end-users, among others. With globalisation, human trafficking has skyrocketed. Profit maximisation with little or no risk, well-organized activity, and low priority Those who work in law enforcement, for example, are exacerbating the problem. The money made from human trafficking is equivalent to that made from narcotics and weaponry trafficking. Women are also trafficked to work as labourers or domestic servants in commercial markets. Kuwait is a major hub for women trafficked for commercial exploitation, who, like those trafficked into prostitution, are lured in by recruiters promising money and a better life. Once they arrive in Kuwait, their new owners frequently take their passports and immigration papers, leaving them defenceless and without legal recourse. Despite the fact that Kuwait is one of the top hotspots for women trafficking, according to US State Department investigations, it is far from being the worst. The government fails to meet the minimum requirements for banning the practise. Women's Trafficking in India is the subject of the current research. Human trafficking is defined by the United Nations as "a process of recruiting, transporting, or receiving forced labour through the threat or use of force, coercion, or payment for the purpose of giving or taking control over the forced labour in order to exploit that person for one's own satisfaction."
