India is not considered to be a third world country, but parts of India are very dangerous and poor. Human trafficking is one of the major problems in India. Human trafficking is the act of transporting or receiving a person through a use of force, coercion or other means, for the purpose of exploiting them. In other words, human trafficking is a form of slavery. In India women and young girls are trafficked for sexual reasons, while children are sent as beggars and workers. India has been placed on a list called the Tier 2 Watch List because over the past few years they have not tried to decrease the amount of human trafficking in their country. In the movie Slumdog Millionaire it shows examples of trafficking among women and children throughout their country. According to the national labor and employment website, there are plans being devised in attempts to reduce human trafficking among children by passing laws such as the Child Labor Act and the NCLP. There is a program called Unicef that tries to protect children from around the world from violence, exploitation, and abuse. Unicef has developed plans such as The Medium Term Strategic Plan, and Child Protection Strategy. The Medium Strategic Plan is a four year plan trying to protect children by strengthening their relationships with the United Nations and by building national capacities. The Child Protection Plan basically states that they want to ensure as much protection as they can in numerous ways. Their main goal is to have good relationships with the United Nations and to have a strong and supportive government.
