2 Introduction: Every year, millions of men, women and children are trafficked worldwide into conditions amounting to slavery. Among this many thousand are young women and girls lured, abducted or sold into forced prostitution and other forms of sexual servitude. It has been estimated that up to 8,00,000 people, all round the world each year Trafficking is undoubtedly an egregious and profound human rights abuse, a form of modern day slavery and a particular form of violence against humanity. India is a major hub of human trafficking in forced labour and sexual exploitation, especially of children, noted the U.N State Department in a report released recently. India s major cities and towns with tourist attractions- including religious pilgrimage centers- continue to be focal points for sex tourism. Each year, about 1.2 children are victims of human trafficking and prostitution. More than 100 million people are forced to work in slave-like conditions. Sex tourism continues to be highly profitable. A fair-skinned eight year old girl can fetch US $ 2,500 a night. Underage female prostitution is now become a billion dollar industry. Rational: The United Nations issued the protocol to prevent, suppress, and punish trafficking in persons, especially women and children, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (the UN Protocol) in December The protocol constitutes what is widely considered to be the first globally recognized document to completely define human trafficking, describing the crime as: the recruitment, transportation, transfer, or harbouring or receipt of persons by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation, including (at a minimum) prostitution and other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labor, forced services, slavery and practices similar to slavery, servitude, and the removal of organs. Alongside this UN effort, both India and Nepal have drafted their own national, regional plans of action, designed to curb the spread and existence of human trafficking in their specific country or region. In other words, are governments implementing the interventions and achieving the results envisioned in the legal documents that they have signed? In context of Bihar, the Indo-Nepal cross border districts of Bihar is prone to trafficking problems. India is a country of origin, transit and destination for trafficked persons. Such as Nepalese are trafficked to India, Indians are trafficked to other countries in Asia, the middle East, and the West, Nepalese are trafficked through India to other countries like the Gulf states. Every year approximately 5000 to 7000 Nepali girls are trafficked into the red light districts in Indian cities. Many of these girls are barely 9 or 10 years old. 2,00,000 to over 2,50,000 Nepali women and girls are already in Indian brothels.
