Modern Slavery in India

Abstract

Human trafficking has become one of the largest illegal industries worldwide. Considering the grave human rights violations that come from generating huge profits at the expense of human misery, it is of marked concern. This study specifically focuses on human trafficking in India where it is estimated that over half of all trafficking occurs. By examining the anti-trafficking legal framework that exists in India, it becomes possible to identify areas in which improvements could be made. Bonded labor is a particular area of concern as it does not receive the attention it deserves.
