Chhattisgarh has been an area of concern for human trafficking, with reports of women and children being trafficked for forced labor, sexual exploitation, and illegal adoptions. The state has taken significant steps to combat human trafficking by establishing special anti-trafficking units within the police department and collaborating with national organizations to raise awareness and prevent trafficking.
Recent operations have led to the rescue of victims and the arrest of several traffickers. However, the state’s challenge lies in curbing the organized networks operating both locally and across state borders. Strengthened legislation, improved border surveillance, and public awareness campaigns are crucial components of the state’s ongoing efforts to tackle this issue.
