Human Trafficking is a crime that leaves a lasting toll on human life, families, and communities around the world. Human trafficking is considered a modern form of slavery. This illegal act involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain labour or sex. Traffickers use violence, manipulation, or false promises to lure their victims into trafficking situations. Therefore, it is important for the community to be aware of the different issues raised by this concern as the presence of human trafficking exploits those humans the most, who are vulnerable. Therefore, the commemoration of this day was essential to facilitate awareness and a sense of responsibility among the students.


Considering the discussions and deliberations from the panellists it is concluded that, the laws for human trafficking in India must be strengthen in such a way that, it meets all the requirements for preventing human trafficking. People of the country specifically children and women, must be aware of human trafficking and its consequences in order to prevent them from becoming victims. Further, more such events and seminars shall be conducted across the country, so that the general people and the government can join hands to prevent human trafficking.
