I am not for sale!

What thought arise in your mind hearing this sentence? You may think, that it was some cloth or shoe revolting to be sold. No! my readers, the scenario is somewhat different. It's a call of revolt or protest to be sold away by a human! Yes, we humans can also be tagged as sold! Human trafficking refers to the trade of people among individuals called traffickers for the attainment of several evil goals like forced labour, sexual slavery or commercial sexual exploitation by the traffickers, for several acts of terrorism and the list goes on and on for providing spouse in the context of forced marraige, illegal extraction of organs from the body for the organs' trade , forced surrogacy and forced beggary by either cutting the legs or hands or even making blind! Human trafficking encompasses the modern form of slavery, but the tragic difference is that the slave trade in the Caribbean, before and during the Napoleonic era was an open trade while the human traffickers forcibly kidnap or trap people in the dark shadows of night and sell them within or outside the borders of countries. Human trafficking is exclaimed to be the third largest crime industry in the world. The Feminists have formed a mathematical equation as you read from Class VII onwards that - Human Trafficking = Women Trafficking, which is mostly the most uncertain fact ever have been just for the fulfillment of some men's sexual desire or just have fun and leave! The period of trafficking in a victim's life is sunken deep in the cruel crutches of sorrow and grief. Most of the time it's simply impossible to get out and become free until your carcass is found near a river bank. Even though people get out of these cruel bondages due to the blessings of the law enforcement agencies, the cruel and heartless orthodox people out there in the society outcast them and push to the lives of half dead, branding them as "Unholy"! The US Department Report exclaims Belarus, Iran, Russia and Turkmenistan to be the grand home of this unfortunate blunder while several other countries of Asia and Africa are not out of it. The United Nations installed the first global legally binding instrument on trafficking in over half a century on 25th of December, 2003, the Palermo Protocol under the Convention against Transnational Organized Crimes (CTOC). The Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2005 coincides the idea of prostitution and human trafficking and asks the government to initiate anti-trafficking raids and even prosecute commercial sex customers in the suspectful areas. It's high time now, the people out there in the so called great society gain open mindedness about this issue and talks about it to spread awareness to free and prevent several women, children and yes, men too from the shackles of victimization and trafficking and enjoy their due rights and repect being a human!
