Description
India has emerged as the top destination for human trafficking in South Asia, according the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). The South Asia representative of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Cristina Albertine, said that a majority of the victims are from Bangladesh and Nepal. India is a top destination for human trafficking in South Asia. People are trafficked from Nepal, the Gulf, Bangladesh and so on. There is no exact figure on human trafficking in India as only a few studies have been done. As per the UNODC, hundreds of Bengali-speaking Muslim women are being trafficked from Bangladesh. In South Asia is that every year at least 150,000 (0.15 million) people are trafficked across the international borders.Of the 150,000, 75 percent are women. Fifty percent trafficking are done for forced labour, UNODC has said. The UN's India Office has informed that Nepal and Bangladesh are the source countries while India and Pakistan are source and destination for trafficking. India and Bangladesh are now working very closely on how to expedite and streamline the repatriation process of Bangladeshi survivors. For a long time nothing was happening on the issue. Now these things are slowly improving, UNODC commented.
