The main aim behind the initiative is to inform that human trafficking is crime and if any girl is forcibly taken to the brothels, they should inform the agencies about the crime.

“The most distressed child is the victim of human trafficking as they face several kinds of trauma,” said Vimal. The commission has a welfare plan so that the children of sex workers can have a good life in terms of education and health. According to the DCPCR official, they are preparing a concept note.

Talking about the menace of human trafficking, an official claimed that during their investigation they have found several modus operandi being used by the traffickers like the pretext of marriage, job and love.
