PROTECTING HUMAN DIGNITY: A BATTLE AGAINST HUMAN TRAFFICKING

Dr. Shikha Rajawat

This abstract explores the constitutional and legal framework governing human trafficking in India, emphasizing key provisions and recent developments. Article 21 of the Constitution guarantees the right to life and dignity, shaping interpretations that extend to combating trafficking under Articles 23 and 24. Legal instruments such as the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act and recent amendments align India with international standards, focusing on prevention, prosecution, and victim protection. Despite robust legislative measures, challenges persist, including coordination gaps among law enforcement agencies and societal stigmas hindering victim reporting and rehabilitation efforts. This paper underscores the complexity of addressing trafficking across borders and within domestic contexts, proposing comprehensive reforms to enhance implementation effectiveness and safeguard human rights.
