Dhriti Singh Kundu

Forced labor, human trafficking, and slavery persist as critical global issues, with millions of individuals subjected to exploitation and abuse. This research proposal, authored by Dhriti Singh Kundu, a final-semester BALLB (Hons.) student at Sushant University, delves into the multifaceted dimensions of these phenomena. The introduction elucidates forced labor's definition and prevalence, emphasising its presence across various sectors and its impact on vulnerable groups. The research objective hypothesises that the existing legal framework inadequately addresses forced labor and human trafficking due to implementation challenges. The research question seeks to explore the meaning, magnitude, and forms of forced labor and human trafficking. Employing a doctrinal research methodology, the study examines statutes, case laws, and secondary sources to analyse the legal framework and domestic responsibilities in addressing trafficking and forced labor, particularly within the Indian context. The literature review contextualises the persistence of forced labor within broader socio-economic factors, highlighting poverty, discrimination, and weak law enforcement as underlying causes. Furthermore, it elucidates the concept of human trafficking, its various forms, and its intersection with forced labor. The paper also provides relevant case laws, including the People's Union for Democratic Rights v. Union of India, Neerja Chaudhary v. State of Madhya Pradesh, and Budhadev Karmaskar v. State of West Bengal, which underscore the need for robust legal mechanisms and victim rehabilitation. The conclusion emphasises the need for an integrated approach involving governments, civil society, and NGOs to combat forced labor and trafficking effectively. Despite India's extensive legislative framework, enforcement challenges persist, necessitating concerted efforts to protect vulnerable individuals and eradicate these injustices.
