Despite constitutional guarantees, statutory enactments, and policy interventions aimed at preventing immoral traffic, the phenomenon continues due to socio-economic vulnerabilities, gender inequality, migration, and weak enforcement mechanisms. This research paper undertakes a comprehensive analysis of Indian laws and policies addressing immoral traffic, with a particular emphasis on their effectiveness in protecting and promoting the human rights of trafficking victims. The study critically examines the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956, constitutional provisions, judicial pronouncements, and governmental schemes within a rights-based framework. It argues that although India has demonstrated formal compliance with international anti-trafficking obligations, implementation remains enforcement-centric and often results in secondary victimisation of survivors. The paper concludes by advocating a survivor-centric, human rights\u2013based approach that prioritises dignity, rehabilitation, and social reintegration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Immoral Traffic, Human Trafficking, Human Rights, Indian Law, Rehabilitation, Public Policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ast-global-color-1-color has-text-color\"><strong>Page No: 149-152<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-ast-global-color-6-background-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/bijmrd.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/149-152.pdf\">download journal<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: Sumedh Ganpat Sonavane DOI Link: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.70798\/Bijmrd\/04041029 Abstract: Human trafficking for commercial sexual exploitation remains a persistent violation of human dignity and fundamental rights in India.
