A study of 35 trafficked children and young women found.that trafficking is usually conducted through offers of false marriages and jobs, or through outright abduction and sale. In almost all districts and even some villages, the traffickers, who have a strong network, engage agents, who include: another person who herself is a victim of trafficking, unemployed persons, drug addicts/alcoholics or aged women with no income. Sometimes, these agents work under compulsion and/or are blackmailed into abetment. Since poverty and illiteracy are the prime factors contributing to trafficking, income-generating and literacy programs should be arranged for needy families. Local NGOs also need to take the initiative to raise awareness levels in panchayats in order to check trafficking. Training programs and workshops need to be organized too, for the local administration, panchuyai members and police officers.
