Role played by social workers in Non Governmental Organizations in preventing human trafficking in India

Abstract

Human trafficking is considered as an alarming issue in the contemporary Indian society. Thousands of women and children are being trafficked from different states as well as brought in from the neighboring countries for the purpose of exploitation. It is an undeniable fact that a large section of the Indian population faces poverty, discrimination and marginalization for numerous reasons which are basically product of faulty policies and social practices. This is turn creates a vulnerable situation which is exploited by the traffickers to maximize profit at the cost of humanitarian values. The Non- Governmental Organizations are working to curb this menace through the intervention of professional social workers. The social workers are playing a pivotal role in different aspect in the prevention of this crime. This paper tries to explore the current role of the social workers in anti- human trafficking activities. It will also seek to identify how the social workers detect the conditions which may lead to the social malfunctioning often termed as the main reason for trafficking. The paper would highlight the advocacy role as well as the intervention strategies adopted by the social workers in the context of rescue and rehabilitation of the trafficked victims.
