  • India is both a source and a destination nation for human trafficking. 

  •  Women and girls are kidnapped from Nepal, Bangladesh, and Myanmar under the pretense of promising them better lives, jobs, and living conditions in India.

  • Also, some of them are trafficked off to the Middle East and Southeast Asia, using India as a base.

  • Hence, border areas must be particularly vigilant to stop this.

  • As of date, 788 Anti-Human Trafficking Units (AHTUs), including 30 in Border guarding forces, are functional.

  • The homes will offer services, including lodging, food, clothing, counseling, basic medical facilities, and other rehabilitative services.   

  • Financial assistance to be provided to set up Protection and Rehabilitation Homes for the victims of trafficking, particularly for minor girls and young women
