Human trafficking is not just social evil but crime against humanity : Venkaiah Naidu

Human trafficking is not just social evil but crime against humanity : Venkaiah Naidu

Hyderabad, Jul 28 (UNI) Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu on Sunday called upon government agencies, civil societies and NGOs to coordinate their efforts and step up the fight against human trafficking in an uncompromising, relentless and ceaseless manner.

He observed that the war against human trafficking must continue until the last victim was rescued and rehabilitated and the last perpetrator was brought to justice.

Addressing the gathering after releasing the training manual on Home Management for Homes meant for sex trafficked victims brought out by Dr Sunitha Krishnan and her NGO, ‘Prajwala’, here, the Vice President said that human trafficking was much more than just a social evil and was a violent crime against humanity itself.
He suggested translating the training manual into local languages for better understanding for the public.

'It is a menace that violates all the basic tenets of human rights, justice, dignity and is often referred to as modern-day slavery', he further said.

Saying that the Fundamental Rights that form the bedrock of the constitution guarantee the undeniable right to freedom and the inalienable right against exploitation and all forms of forced labor, child labour and trafficking to each and every citizen.

Opining that every citizen of this country has the right to secure and dignified life, the Vice President stated that the constitution places the sacred duty upon each and every citizen to work hard to eradicate human trafficking.

'The entire society must unite for this cause. We must do our best to spread awareness about the nature of this crime and the need to focus on rescue and rehabilitation of survivors', he added.
