Sex workers? organisations and rights activists have raised several concerns around the draft Bill on Trafficking of Persons (Prevention, Protection and Rehabilitation) Bill, 2016.
Indian laws continue to be centred around trafficking for sexual exploitation and abolishing sex work, said a release issued by the National Network of Sex Workers from Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
At least 35 women from the Network attended a three-day consultation in Bangalore on the draft Bill. The women said that a significant number of poor people get duped for organ transplantation. However, the draft Bill makes no provisions for prevention, rescue and rehabilitation for such people who may have been coerced into forced labour or organ transplantation.
