 OBJECTIVE
1. In 1950 the Government of India ratified an International
Convention for the Suppression of Immoral Traffic in Persons and
the Exploitation of the Prostitution of others. Under Article 23 of
the Convention, traffic in human beings is prohibited and any
contravention of the prohibition is an offence punishable by law.
Under Article 35 such a law has to be passed by Parliament as
soon as may be after the commencement of the Constitution.
2. Legislation on the subject of suppression of immoral traffic does
exist in a few States but the laws are neither uniform nor do they
go far enough. In the remaining States there is no bar on the
subject at all.
3. In the circumstances it is necessary and desirable that a Central law
should be passed which will not only secure uniformity but also
would be sufficiently deterrent for the purpose. But a special
feature of the Bill is that it provides that no person or authority
other than the State Government shall establish or maintain any
protective home except under a license issued by the State
Government. This will check the establishment of homes which are
really dens for prostitution."

HYPOTHESIS
The available literature on trafficking mainly consists of reports of
studies,conferences and workshops conducted by international and domestic non-
governmental organisations(NGOs).national and regional level studies are fewer in
number as compared to the literature available at the state level. The recent
importance according to trafficking on the international agenda is responsible for
the rise in the number of ongoing research studies on trafficking in India. The
Indian constitution prohibits all forms of trafficking under article 23.
