A conference in Kolkata, India, held by the National Commission for Women this week, voiced concerns over the failure of the legal system to ensure that human traffickers were punished. This, it was claimed, was significantly hindering the fight against human trafficking.\r\nMr Justice Samaresh Banerjee said “The delay in granting justice to the victim results in destruction of the identity of the victim. In most cases, the victims are convicted instead of the traffickers. There is no proper home where the victims are treated with respect when their families refuse to take them back,”\r\nThere was also concern at the rising tide of human trafficking in the country. “In spite of the existent laws and Sections in the Indian Penal Code and CrPC, women and child trafficking is increasing at an alarming rate because of increasing migration of human beings due to poverty, unemployment and enforced displacement.” said Prof. Malini Bhattacharya, member of National Commission for Women.
