Human trafficking remains a significant concern in Gujarat, particularly in the context of forced labor, sex trafficking, and exploitation of minors. In response, Gujarat’s law enforcement agencies, alongside NGOs and international bodies, have intensified efforts to arrest and prosecute traffickers. Specialized human trafficking units have been established to tackle the complex nature of this crime, and the state has seen several successful convictions in recent years.
Public awareness campaigns and collaboration with local communities are also essential to prevent trafficking. The government has implemented measures like the use of technology to track and identify suspicious activities, as well as helplines for victims to report cases. There is a growing recognition of the need for rehabilitation programs to assist survivors in rebuilding their lives, and efforts are being made to integrate these survivors into society through job training and support networks.
