Processes of child trafficking in West Bengal
A study of 35 trafficked children and young women found that trafficking is usually conducted through offers of false marriages and jobs, or through outright abduction and sale. In almost all districts and even some villages, the traffickers, who have a strong network, engage agents, who include: another person who herself is a victim of trafficking, unemployed persons, drug addicts/alcoholics or aged women with no income. Sometimes, these agents…

Child abuse and neglect in a metropolitan city
This study of a group of 120 migrant child labourers working in households, tea stalls, garages and shops in South Kolkata reveals that that an overwhelming number of the children are abused, in some way or the other-physically, mentally or sexually. Of those with health problems, a good number of them remain untreated. In some cases, abuse and neglect become fatal. Law enforcement agencies should be very strict in dealing with the perpetrators, …
Stories of street children
Survey findings and case study material compiled for 40 street children (18 males and 22 females) showed that the factors which mostly push children to the streets include family discord, domestic abuse, abandonment, eviction, and poverty-driven prostitution. Though the Indian Parliament has recently passed a new law entitled ‘Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2000’ (after repealing the ‘Juvenile Justice Act, 1986’), the mai…
