2 THE TIMES OF INDIA India Trafficking, sexual abuse of children: NHRC issues notices to Tamil Nadu, Kerala B Sivakumar,TNN Jun 15, 2015, PM IST CHENNAI: The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) on Monday issued notices to Tamil Nadu and Kerala chief secretaries and director generals of police in both the states to look into alleged trafficking and sexual abuse of children. The NHRC took suo motu cognizance of a media report which said children from Salem and Villupuram districts of Tamil Nadu were being trafficked and auctioned in Thrissur district of Kerala for domestic work. The June 14 media report had quoted the coordinator of the Tamil Nadu Domestic Workers Association. The report said the children were being subjected to sexual harassment too. In a statement, NHRC member Justice D Murugesan observed that the contents of the press report, if true, amounted to serious violation of human rights of children. Quoting the report, NHRC said there were a number of brokers working for trafficking children. They approached the poor parents in villages in these districts and brainwash them. After paying some money to the parents, they take the children to Kerala. Trafficking of children could be prevented only if the Tamil Nadu government took serious and immediate steps, the NHRC observed.

3 THE TIMES OF INDIA Chennai Child trafficking: TN gets NHRC notice B Sivakumar,TNN Jun 16, 2015, AM IST CHENNAI: The National Human Rights Commission, responding to media reports that children are being trafficked frequently from many districts in Tamil Nadu to Kerala, issued notices to chief secretaries and directors general of police of both the states on Monday. They have been asked to reply to the notices within eight weeks. Reports of trafficking of children in the age group of 12 and above have been appearing in the media and NHRC member Justice Murugesan, taking suo mutu cognizance of one such media report on June 14, quoting the state coordinator of Tamil Nadu Domestic Workers' Association, issued notices to chief secretaries and directors general of police of the two states to enquire into the matter and submit reports. "Most cases of trafficking of children to Kerala have been reported from Salem and Villupuram districts," noted child rights activist A Devaneyan told TOI. "Most of them are girls and they are taken to Kerala under the guise of domestic work and then forced into sex trade. The parents forget about them after a few years," he said. Poor people in Villupuram and Salem districts as well as in the districts bordering Kerala fall prey to them. "During our interaction with some parents of these children, we found that in most cases they did not have money to marry off their girl children. Hence, they send girls to Kerala to work as domestic help and earn money on their own for their marriage," said Devaneyan. An NHRC release said children from Salem and Villupuram districts of Tamil Nadu were being trafficked to Kerala and auctioned at Thrissur as domestic help. Reportedly, these children were also being subjected to sexual harassment, the release said. Murugesan has observed that the contents of the press report, if true, amounted to serious violation of human rights of the children. A number of brokers, who are part of the racket, approach poor parents in villages in the two districts and brainwash them and take their children along with them by paying a paltry amount. Children are being trafficked to Kerala from other parts of the country as well. Recently, 53 children from the NorthEast were rescued from Palakkad railway station. "Though the caretakers mentioned that they were brought to Kerala for education, authorities did not allow them to proceed and sent the children back with their parents to their respective states," said Devaneyan. In another case, children from West Bengal, Jharkhand and Bihar were rescued last year at Palakkad railway station. More than 580 children from these three states were on their way to some orphanages in Kerala. They were stopped midway at Palakkad and child rights officials from those states said it was utter poverty that forced the parents to send their wards to Kerala.
