ABSTRACT
Trafficking in Persons is a grave violation of human rights, which needs to be addressed and taken earnestly. State officials and NGOs work together in battling trafficking; NGOs play a foremost role in rescue, investigation, prosecution and rehabilitation in trafficking cases. The rate and quality of prosecution for trafficking offences appears to be very low. There are several reasons and challenges for inefficient implementation in the investigation and prosecution that needs to be addressed and improved. The state is under an obligation to protect the victim-witnesses and especially child witnesses; any action taken, must be in the best interest of the victims who bravely agree to testify against their traffickers.
