Lucrative job offers push Telangana women into trafficking
Dr Padma Shri Sunita Krishnan noted that the victims are exploited with lucrative job offers in offices, restaurants and palatial houses.
Hyderabad: Anti human trafficking activists said that more Telangana women are pushed into flesh trade with lucrative jobs in offices and restaurants.
Domestic violence, poverty due to natural calamities and economic crisis due to aspiration for fame and money are the social factors which drive women to the prostitution racket.
Dr Padma Shri Sunita Krishnan of Prajwala said that flesh trade has increased several folds with women from both the Telugu states trafficked to other Indian states and foreign countries.
She noted that the victims are exploited with lucrative job offers in offices, restaurants and palatial houses.
“With the families not accepting them back, they are an easy prey for the organised syndicate running the flesh trade racket. The problem is that victims are not coming forward to report. In fact, women from the city and other districts are trafficked to foreign countries under the pretext of fancy jobs,”she pointed out.
Ms Jameela Nishath, a social activist, said that several young women are lured with lucrative jobs in the Middle East. “In turn, they are trapped by the flesh trade syndicates in the GCC countries. Unless, the traffickers here are not apprehended, the problem will grow,” she said.
