India is a country having about 18 million people living in modern day slavery is challenged with intra-state, interstate and Inter-country trafficking and mocked by constant change in trafficking tricks deployed by the traffickers. Even though the government, Law enforcement and Judiciary have shown clear commitment to combat crime of trafficking, there is a need of supporting their efforts by providing legal counselling support and restoration to survivor for life of dignity & self respect.
The project aims at strengthening protection measures that are available for survivors in the state in a way that they are well cared and protected, ensured access to justice by legal counselling and assistance, and speedy repatriation and reintegration, eventually reducing the incidence of trafficking to Maharashtra by accelerating the rate of conviction and stringent punishment of traffickers through systemic, scientific and coordinated criminal justice response.
