India has the highest number of cases related to girls trafficking and is one of the major concerns in India. India has a great diversity, people from different regions are all not equal, some are rich and some are poor and they have their different social status.
Reasons
Poverty and lack of education are the two major factors associated with the girls trafficking. Greeds of some money or not bearing the burden of the cost of marriage of the girls may lead to the choice of selling the girls by some poor parents.
Girls traffickers generally allure girls and their families by all means, even use physical forces when required. They have a big network including many VIPs and even some officials. If a plan is busted then the rescued girls are kept in a shelter homes. We all have seen when the case of muzaffarpur shelter house busted, Bihar, India, a number of government officials were arrested for their alleged involvement.
How girls can save girls?
Teenaged girls can make a group keep an eye on unscrupulous persons or agents who come with fake job offers or marriage proposals and alert authorities if there is a risk.
Way forward
1. Look out for girls who who have not been seen in school or in the neighbourhood or our meetings for a few days.
2. Pay attention to any girls showing signs of sadness, despair or sudden changes in behaviour like lack of interest.
3. Keep an eye on strangers in the village visiting a family with offers of job, money or marriage proposal.
4. Alert the police or state commission for protection of child rights if any of the above signal imminent risk or danger.
