Human trafficking is a crime that forces women, children, and many men to engage in wrongdoing, such as labor and sex. The definition of confining trafficking in women, girls, sex workers, or entertainment is simply obsolete, trafficking has several dimensions and dynamics in today's world. The trend of human trafficking is changing. Any form of exploitation, domestic work, mutilation, prostitution, or any other form of sexual exploitation through the use of threats, coercion, and deception against the will of any person is human trafficking.
THEME 2022 - “Victims' Voices Lead the Way
A global problem like trafficking needs a global solution, which is why the United Nations organise the World Day against Trafficking in Persons, to raise awareness encourage vigilance and gain support for prevention of human trafficking, and also why they have produced a protocol to punish human trafficking and are hoping to implement this globally, as well as an act to protect victims of trafficking.
The world is now in the age of modernization, but human trafficking is still a serious problem in many countries of the world, including Nepal. Lack of employment and foreign employment, poverty, lack of education, and public awareness, are becoming the main causes of human trafficking. Today, every year, the United Nations is celebrating "International Day against Human Trafficking in person" on July 30 to raise awareness about human trafficking. There are some common examples of human trafficking and trafficking in the lure of foreign employment and the lure of opportunity and prosperity. To end human trafficking, every nation's government must adopt a policy of emphasizing poverty alleviation and creating employment opportunities. In Nepal too, the government has enacted laws on human trafficking and smuggling control, but the lack of effective implementation has not ended the situation where perpetrators can easily escape and victims cannot get justice.
Let's raise our voices against human trafficking.
Alarms and awareness
