Since January 2007 to August 2008 there have been 190 reports of missing or trafficked children in Nagaland. Out of those 190 reports 131 of those reports are of children between the ages of 10 and 20 years of old. 64 of the reports are of males and 67 are of females that have been trafficked. The majority of these children that have been trafficked are made to be domestic servants.
The United States protocol on Trafficking of any human states:” the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring or receipt of persons, by meaning of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, or abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve a person having control over another person for the purpose of exploitation…………exploitation of the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labor or services, slavery or practice similar to Slavery, servitude…”
I feel that if the people that are trafficking these children know better but at the same time they know no better. What I mean by that is they know that they are raking the law but they just don’t care. And when I read the protocol the United States has on the trafficking of people it plainly says that trafficking is forbidden and that no human life should no longer be the property of another human.
