CHILD MRGE: Due to a demographic imbalance in Haryana
(850 girls/1000 boys), men find it difficult to find a
bride.
The easy way out has been through a network of touts
who help men, young old and widowed men to find wives
from West Bengal, Assam and Bihar. Parents unwittingly
marry their daughters off to a trafficker. Even the babies
are traded for commercial adoptions.
Debt Bondage: A form of bonded labour, this involves
anadulterated form of involuntary servitude. The victim is
required to work off a debt before being allowed to
pursue a job of his or her own choosing. In some
instances, bonded labourers are provided with living
quarters and some kind of wage, but only a bare
subsistence wage. One of the most common forms of
debt bondage involves migrant workers, who are
transported somewhere and then forced to work off their
"transportation costs."
6)Sale Of Organs:
The illegal trade in body parts is largely dominated by
kidneys because they are in greatest demand and they
are the only major organs that can be wholly
transplanted with relatively few risks for the living
donor. Organ trafficking accounts for around 10 per cent
of the nearly 70,000 kidney transplants performed
worldwide annually.
7) Prostitution:
This is the most common type of human trafficking. While
prostitution is legal or tolerated in some cultures, it is
illegal or socially discouraged in others.Many women and
some men worldwide are forced into professions of
prostitution and suffer significant physical and
psychological health risks as a result.

The key distinction between smuggling and trafficking lies
in
the individuals freedom of choice.
