Since, the bill covers dimensions such as prevention, protection and rehabilitation- all three in one, it is a good step.
1. This can be analysed from the point of view of land acquisition act 1894. This act did not have rehabilitation clause. So an improvement was done in 2013. Rehabilitation and resettlement clause was brought. This was widely acclaimed. In a similar way, trifficaking of persons act , earlier was immoral traffic prevention Act. This act does not have rehabilitation clause.
2. This act is proponent of Art 21 of the constitution- Right to life (implied fundamental right). Also Art23- a fundamental right which bars immoral trafficking in the constitution of India
3. This will boost employment of youth in the country. The youth who shall be prevented and rehabilitated will be brought into main stream of the society.
4. It will give ample powers to the state government in executing the provisions of the act.
However, there are some issues
1. Why does this bil ldoes not vest any power to stop such incidents to the local bodies. We can learn from countries such as Africa, which has stopped such child trafficking incidents, based on successful attempts by local NGOs, local bodies and political will
2. Nirbhaya fund have been often criticised that it is not used for the purpose. Will the fund alloted for rehabilitation will be optimally used is still a aquestion
Human traffickin is on rise in India due to following reasons
1. global scenario- in middle east, nigeria in africa, war like situation where these trafficked children are used as sex slaves
2. Too much exposure of social media
3. Open borders with a number of countries such as Nepal, Bangladesh, Mayanmar
4. Neighbourhood countries such as Pakistan- differences with them over terrorism issues
5. Sadist approach by some section of the society -who does not want to whistle blow or help
