Tamanna, Amity University, Jaipur (Rajasthan)

ABSTRACT

Human trafficking has been in civilization for a very long time. It is a national curse that results in interminable anguish and weakens a person's physical and mental health. Their world does not understand the terms "growth" and "development." They are subjected to a great deal of prejudice and degrading treatment. There is a significant human rights and social justice issue at hand now. The number of people who are victims of human trafficking worldwide is estimated by a recent U.S. government assessment to be as high as 27 million. It is crucial to defend their fundamental human rights, create an environment that fosters their steady development, and shield them from global horrors. Even though there are numerous laws and government initiatives aimed at improving the lives of these people, there are still many obstacles in the way. Therefore, in order to give all of the country's victims of human trafficking a status and to foster their growth and development, it is necessary to create a better understanding of a problem like this. The study examines the numerous challenges faced by trafficking victims in India, many of whom experience intimidation, shame, difficulty in prosecution, and a significant risk of being victimised again in their own nation. The report comes to the conclusion that larger, victim-centered measures are required to support victims and establish a solid foundation for upcoming trafficking cases. Consequently, it seeks to examine the current state of India's anti-human trafficking legislation as well as the problems and obstacles that victims there face.
