Estimated
30 million people are enslaved
worldwide or trafficked into
brothels. They forced into labour or pushed to the flesh trade.
It
is shame that India is standing at fourth spot and almost half of the
world modern slaves are in India. All 162 countries, be it developed,
developing or under developed the modern slavery
still exists. The above pieced of information surveyed by Walk Free, an
Australian-based rights group.

In the western part of India’s capital city,
New Delhi, more than 5,000 domestic worker placement agencies operate out of a
nondescript neighborhood called Shakurpur
Basti. For years, the agencies have flourished by indulging in the business
of trafficking minor girls and selling them as domestic slaves in the cities.
To expose this racket of trafficking and to uncover their modus operandi, we
waited for days with a hidden camera, posing as a family interested in
employing a girl.
The
agencies liaise with natives of remote villages, mostly from the eastern part
of India, who, as “local agents”
carry out the first step in the trafficking process. The agents identify
underage girls from extremely poor families and lure them to the city with the
promise of a good job. Once the girls are in the city, the agents sell them for
about Rs. 10000 each to a domestic
worker placement agency. The agency then re-sells her to a family as domestic
labor.
Mumbai : A Mumbai trader
has been arrested for allegedly torturing an 11-year-old who was forced to eat
chillies which were also rubbed on her body.
LAHORE: Erum Ramazan, a

Mayur Vihar Phase-I residence in east Delhi. "The victim was working at
Jain's house for over four months. She was employed through a placement agency," a police officer
said. The 24-year-old domestic help, who is from West Bengal, told the police
that she was burnt by her employer with a hot iron whenever she demanded her
salary. The woman has alleged that she was kept confined in the house, and had
managed to get out of the house on Wednesday and call out to a neighbour for
help.
New Delhi: MP Dhananjay
Singh's wife Jagriti Singh, 10 months ago. On Monday, she died after a particularly savage beating through the
Diwali weekend, all because she hadn't woken her employer on time. Jagriti
Singh, a dentist who has a three-year-old son, was arrested on Tuesday for the
murder of her domestic help and the torture of a minor who also worked for her.
Mr Singh has also been arrested for destruction of evidence and abetment to murder.
New Delhi: A 13-year-old domestic help, who was
allegedly assaulted and locked up by her employer, was rescued from Sarojini
Nagar in south Delhi last evening. The girl claimed that she was frequently
beaten up and kept locked in her room for days by her employer who works as an
airhostess.
