NEW DELHI
(Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Authorities in the Indian capital plan
to set up a programme to help rescued victims of human trafficking
through training and work placements, the first part of the country to
do so, a government statement said.
The head of the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW),
Swati Maliwal, said after the first meeting of the city’s
Anti-Trafficking Committee that a task force would draft “a
rehabilitation policy for trafficking victims,” the statement late on
Monday said.
“Under this policy trafficking victims would get skill
development training and job placements also,” it said, adding that
private sector businesses could support the initiative.
National Crime Records Bureau data shows that 2,676
children were rescued from trafficking in 2014, against 3,834 the
previous year. Activists say this grossly under-estimated the scale of
the problem.
