Human trafficking in Nagaland: a human rights challenge for women
by Emilo R. Yanthan
International Journal of Human Rights and Constitutional Studies (IJHRCS), Vol. 8, No. 4, 2021

Abstract: Human trafficking is a heinous crime that infringes the rights of human beings. Women and girls are reported to be the most vulnerable groups and thus becoming the primary victims to this crime. Human trafficking affect several rights of the victims such as the right to survive without exploitation, right to protection, healthcare facilities, experiences brutality, etc. Victims are made to live a life without reverence and dignity and continue to get shamed and disgraced by the society. Reportedly the Naga society is also gripped with the crime of human trafficking but it is not very clear due to the non-reporting of most of the cases of trafficking. However there have been few cases of several women and girls who have been rescued by authorities from various regions of India and this establishes the truth that the crime of trafficking is wide-ranging. In the light of all these, the paper is an attempt to study the violations of the rights of the victims of trafficking. It will further try to understand the situation of human trafficking in the context of Nagaland particularly focussing on the inconveniences that women victims had to experience.
