WOMEN TRAFFICKING SEEMS A NEVER ENDING STORY

The most serious committed crime of women trafficking has seemingly not come to a standstill as yet. Though the governments of a handful of countries have banned women immigrations to those countries where trafficking takes place on large scale, for example, Saudi Arabia, the agents involved in trafficking still find other and illegal methods and ways to continue the dirty trend of trafficking. Though a list of Acts and Bills have been drawn in order to protect the rights of the women in a country and also protect their interests and ensure their security at all times. But the main question arises at the time when someone ponders about the implementation of these Acts. Before blaming people and blaming the countries which are hugely involved into human trafficking, minds wander to the attempts and efforts which are being made to actually work towards rescuing such women from this malpractice still existing in the society. Recently, the Central Intelligence Agency in New Delhi arrested a gang of four members who have allegedly tried to send Nepalese women to the Gulf countries based on fake passports and immigration stamp. In spite of the Nepal government putting a ban on the immigration of their country women to Saudi Arabia, those women were trapped in the trafficking racket through the Nelson Mandela Marg via India. Forty-one fake Nepalese passports, 104 foreign employment permit stickers of the Nepal Government along with two fake rubber stamps of the Nepal Foreign Employment Department were seized by the Delhi Police Special Cell under the supervision of Assistant Commissioner of Police, Manishi Chandra, after laying a trap to take Nabin Kumar (35), Bipin Dahal (32) and Ashiq Ali Miya (24) into custody. The three reportedly tried to justify their actions by claiming that the passports and stamps were real and that they were supposed to deliver the documents and stamps to a resident of Neb Sarai, the person named Uttam Silwal. After investigations and verification from the Nepal Embassy, the passports and stamps were found to be fake and eventually Uttam Silwal was arrested. According to sources, the accused charge Rs. 20,000 per client. The illegal business was run by Ram Bahadur Bist, in Saudi Arabia, who lured the accused as well as the Nepalese women by promising them to offer job opportunities in Saudi and other Gulf countries. Reportedly, Nepalese women fetch handsome prices in the Gulf countries and therefore attempts were made to get them trafficked across the border. The above is just a small part of what the women trafficking story is all about. In real life, it is much worse, gruelling and a humiliating activity which takes it role in almost all the parts of the country as well as all corners of the globe. Specially in the Gulf countries such as Arab, this activity of trafficking

has been on the rise since quite a few years now, due to which many countries have already banned the migrating of women from their country to other Gulf countries, especially Saudi Arabia. This New Delhi trafficking racket which got busted was a mere and rather a fluke chance that the four people who were involved and accused were found guilty and thus the main authority behind this activity was arrested. Yet, this case doesnt not simply portray the fact that such amerceable activities are tough to solve and get rid of, because they are deep rooted in the society today. Because there is money, millions of women are easily attracted into believing that there are opportunities for them in the other land, giving them hopes to dream for a better future, and equally saddening turns the part when they open their eyes to reality and all their dreams come shattering down right in front of their eyes. Quite evident becomes the fact that though the malpractice of Women Trafficking is widespread not only in the country but across the globe, proper implementation of policies and timely action ensures the control of such crimes against women, especially in countries like Nepal where due to poverty and lack of awareness, young women are very easily lured into the attractive of job opportunities in foreign countries. This grinding activity of trafficking might not be expected to ever stop, yet, apart from this one case, there are many other trafficking rackets still in the process which need to be disordered before they actually get successful in hampering the lives of many innocent women.
