TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Wither childhood? Child trafficking in India JO - Social development issues A1 - Ray, Nilanjana SP - 72 EP - 83 VL - 29 IS - 3 N2 - This article reviews the current research on domestic trafficking of children in India. Child trafficking in India is a highly visible reality. Children are being sold for sexual and labor exploitation, adoption, and organ harvesting. The article also analyzes the laws and interventions that provide protection and assistance to trafficked children. There is no comprehensive legislation that covers all forms of exploitation. Interventions programs tend to focus exclusively on sex trafficking and to give higher priority to rehabilitation than to prevention. Innovative projects are at a nascent stage.
