The Union government is preparing a law aimed at preventing trafficking in persons, and invited suggestions and comments for its Trafficking in Persons (Prevention, Care & Rehabilitation) Bill, 2021 which it has released. The proposed Bill will present it to the Union Cabinet for approval before it is tabled in Parliament.
The scope of the Bill in respect of offenders will also include defence personnel and government servants, doctors and paramedical staff or anyone in a position of authority. As part of the procedure in drafting the Bill, it has invited comments and suggestions from all the stakeholders on the draft bill by July 14. It is expected that the Bill will be introduced in the upcoming Monsoon Session of Parliament beginning from July 19.
"The objective of the bill is to prevent and counter-trafficking in persons, especially women and children, to provide for care, protection, and rehabilitation to the victims, while respecting their rights, and creating a supportive legal, economic and social environment for them and also to ensure prosecution of offenders, and for matters connected therewith or incidental there to," the Woman and Child Development Ministry said in a statement
