ABSTRACT
Women and children have been subjected to all sorts of exploitations like assaults, molestation, trafficked for domestic servitude, organ transplantation, beggary, and prostitution, bonded or forced labour. Among these, trafficking has been considered as the most serious challenge across the world. Despite various international and national laws enacted to tackle the problem of trafficking it still continues to remain a threat to women and children. The criminal act of trafficking women and children, a habitual offence of notorious criminals and abusers has recently become a global concern as the number of women and children trafficked is growing at an alarming rate and every country has been affected in one way or the other as origin, transit or destination place for trafficking activities. The objective of the research is to elaborately study the judicial response of independent India to the crime that existed for centuries and also the role of NGOs in tackling the issue of trafficking.
