Create jobs for NE women to stop trafficking: NCW chair

SHILLONG:

National Commission for Women (NCW) chairperson Rekha Sharma on Tuesday stressed the need to create employment opportunities for women from the northeastern states to restrict trafficking of women. “False dreams given by traffickers, the internet, financial weakness of the family and no mean to sustain their livelihood in their homes is fuelling trafficking of women from the northeastern region,” she said.
