Abstract: Human trafficking is mostly seen in economically poor regions with among vulnerable individuals, cheap labour, and victims are targeted. Women and children are compelled to participate in sexual activities after trafficking and selling them. Victims endure a variety of social, economic, and physical obstacles while incarcerated as well as readjusting to their old life after they are free of their exploiters. In addition, the article aims to raise knowledge of existing national anti-trafficking laws, as well as its efficacy. This may be quite damaging in the long-term since it conceals the true facts about human trafficking and related crimes. Despite taking action, via anti-trafficking units in the districts, the government has failed to address the involvement of officials, police, and politicians in this racket. There is also evidence of a weakening of legal options, which is very harmful to the timely delivery of justice and adequate recompense.

Keywords: human trafficking; law; racket; women; children.
