The Union Ministry of Women and Child Development (WCD) had previously invited suggestions for the draft Trafficking in Persons (Prevention, Care and Rehabilitation) Bill, 2021. The objective of the bill is “to prevent and counter-trafficking in persons, especially women and children, to provide for care, protection, and rehabilitation to the victims, while respecting their rights, and creating a supportive legal, economic and social environment for them,” the ministry said in a press release.
According to the draft bill, the law will apply to all citizens of India, within and outside the country, persons on any ship or aircraft registered in India wherever it may be or carrying Indian citizens wherever they may be, and a foreign national or a stateless person who has residence in India.
It also says the law “shall apply to every offence of trafficking in persons with cross-border implications”.
The draft bill also widens the definition of the “victim” by including transgenders, besides women and children.
Once the bill becomes an Act, the central government will notify and set up a National Anti Trafficking Committee, while state governments will set up these committees at state and district levels to ensure effective implementation.
Experts are of the opinion that “There are laws already in place on ‘forced labour’ and ‘s*xual exploitation’. There is now a lot of overlapping. The law does not clarify which law is to apply. There should have been one comprehensive code, repealing all previous laws.”

30th July World Day Against Trafficking in Persons
For the short while I worked with the survivors of trafficking, that little peek into their lives and how the nexus works so efficiently and diligently left me both sad and baffled. The plight of the survivors especially the minors is painful to even write about, those various stories of torture and violence only diminishes my faith in human beings further. The struggle for justice for these survivors is a long-winded road, a lot of the survivors have lost hope, families, friends and sometimes themselves. The system with all it flaws makes a constant claim of being “victim centric” but the realities on ground usually say a different story. Trafficking in Persons (Prevention, Care, and Rehabilitation) Bill 2021 that makes the National Investigating Agency an investigating agency in these matters and also calls for the applicability of the NIA Act. The Bill also impacts adult s*x workers who are already a vulnerable section, the bill treats the victims of human trafficking on par with adult persons in s*x work. This bill if passed will create havoc at several levels hence Trafficking in Persons (Prevention, Care, and Rehabilitation) Bill 2021. More power to my friends who continue to work hard for the survivors.
