Abstract

To get a life of dignity and happiness, is right of every human being. No one can snatch it from anyone as per their own will. There are many issues like poverty, hunger and unemployment in our society which catches our eye. But these problems can be solved through hard work. On other hand, trafficking, smuggling and theft of children, women, men and their transfer from one place to another without their own will is totally a different issue and this is inhumane. Scarcity of job opportunities, lack of awareness and hunger can be considered as important reason of human trafficking in South Asia. Women, men and children from Bangladesh, India and Nepal are easily trafficked from these nations to international borders for sexual exploitation, labour works, household jobs etc. There are two types of human trafficking one is within country and other is trans-border trafficking. Both are considered as serious threats to humanity. Open borders and ease in trade barriers have created better investment and economic opportunities for nations on one hand but on another it has also created a serious issue of trafficking because who is right and who is wrong, no one can judge by face easily. South Asian nations are developing nations and suffer from problems like hunger, unemployment, poverty, lack in jobs and food scarcity. This led to increase in inhumane activities like trafficking. Although, this is a serious issue and against humanity, and government of every nation is rigid to work against this cheap crime. There is still need of a collaborative approach to solve this issue, so that, every human being can live their life with peace, dignity and respect, which is their right. South Asian nations need more cooperation within them to detect, identify and report issues of human trafficking as soon as possible, so that it can be solved in its early stage and most of human beings can be rescued to live their dignified happy life.
