trafficked .Around 1.2 million children’s have been trafficked every year and
this children are mostly around 18-24 years . A report by an Non
government organization in India estimated that 45000 children are missing in
India each year.
It has been found that there are 300,000 to 500,000 children working in the prostitution industry in India. Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB), India’s border guard force on the India-Nepal border, conducted several awareness activities on human trafficking for students and border communities in September 2017.

When detrimental, the
media may be extremely harmful to a case and can create safety issues for the
trafficking survivor and other witnesses. If the information released is
incorrect or controlled by the trafficker, the false or harmful information may
be more shock for the trafficking survivor and negatively change public
perception. In addition, if media stories are released early in the process,
without proper time and resources devoted to investigation of the case, such
stories can alert the traffickers to dispose of evidence and align their story
with that of others
