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.
