Shameless society

Hello bloggers, once again. I know its pretty late in the night, but I don't think its never to late to blog and gain information. Till now we've got a basic just of what human trafficking is and also learnt in depth about organ as well as child trafficking.

Its time to now go through what kind of atrocities women go through.

                

                   WOMEN TRAFFICKING

The two major aspects of human trafficking are sex trafficking/slavery, that is, involuntary

prostitution and bride trafficking.

                    
BRIDE TRAFFICKING

In a country where girl child is resisted to be born, brides are ordered and delivered from one village to the other.

There are not enough girls of the same caste as the boy in most villages, the sex ratio is not balanced. In the north-west of India, the business in brides is booming. Skewed sex ratios in states including Haryana, where there are only 830 girls for every 1000 boys and young women being lured away to jobs in India’s booming cities, men in the villages have very few choices when it comes to finding a wife.

 

Women are sold for prices cheaper than what cattle's are sold for.

 

 

Twenty-one-year-old Vinita had lost all hope of ever seeing her family again. Trafficked from a tea garden in northeast India, she was sold as a bride to a 50-year-old man for about 70,000 rupees (US$1,200). When a rescue team, made up of NGO workers and police, found her almost a year after she had been held captive, she broke down. Holding on to her sister tightly and crying, Vinita said that every attempt of hers to escape had failed, and that when she was caught she had been beaten mercilessly.

 

Many brides like Vinita are tortured, raped, threated, bought an

d sold. They have scars for their entire lives on their souls as well as bodies even if rescued and helped. While all are not as lucky as Vinita. they are stuck for their entire lives in a ruckus they never even imagined.

 

 PROSTITUTION

 



There is a huge difference between voluntary prostitution and involuntary prostitution. Involuntary prostitution will be categorized under human trafficking. Involuntary prostitution is when a person is forced to get into sexual activity without their own will with another person for money.

 

In such cases, girls are trafficked and sold to employers commonly known as "dalla or dallis" in Hindi.

 

The atrocities faced by such sex victims is unbelievable.

 

In a six-bed women’s ward in New Delhi’s Safdarjung Hospital

l lies a frail 15-year-old girl. Her face and head are bandaged, leaving visible only a bruised blue-black eye and swollen lips. Burn marks and scabs extend down her neck to her whole body, and a disfigured ear clings on to her face like a piece of mangled flesh. A strange stench surrounds her. The nurse who comes to check on her explains the smell: A wound on the girl’s skull is rotting and has filled with maggots.

The girl tries to speak. In a muffled voice, she says: “My employer would beat me every day with a broom and a stool. Many times she would put a hot pan on my body and burn my skin. That’s how the skin on my skull started peeling out as she repeatedly burned the same spot.”
Somehow the horrific brutality inflicted on this teenager is not an isolated case. Thousands of girls are trafficked every year from remote villages to large cities and sold as domestic workers. Many are abused or sexually exploited.
Extreme poverty, lack of education and employment, and poor implementation of the government’s minimum wage system in rural India make girls more vulnerable to being trafficked.

 

A SURVIVOR'S STORY

Its ironic how we are always told as children to respect women, in reality where women are actually disrespected the most.
 So why don't we ever introspect, that are these victims naked when raped or is the society naked when they think.
   

Hope you liked this post.

human trafficking

HUMAN TRAFFICKING is... 

... To be deceived or taken against your will, bought, sold and exploited.

 People are bought and sold for sexual exploitation, forced labour, street crime, domestic servitude or even the sale of organs and human sacrifice. Men, women and children are trafficked within their own countries and across international borders. Trafficking affects every continent and every country.

  ...A system based on greed, control and power.

 In whatever shape or form everyone dreams of progress, whether it’s to be loved, to be seen, to belong, or for a better future for their family.  Traffickers often exploit that desire amongst the most vulnerable. Trafficking is so often seeded on deception. The Trafficker creates an intimate point of sale, making promises of progress like an education, a new start and future choices. This is the ultimate deception.

...A global market place where people are the product and everyone has a price tag.

It’s based on an international conveyor belt of transactions and exchange, with sophisticated trade routes and communications.  This human product creates profit, tens of billions every year…and growing.

This has to STOP

The answer is for individuals and society to see this crime, listen for it, talk about it, and take action to disrupt this global system!

STOP THE TRAFFIK exists to equip individuals and communities all over the world to take action

 

The key is for society, government and business to generously share knowledge, information and resources that can be used to empower vulnerable communities, making them safe, and to disrupt the traffickers’ trade.

STOP THE TRAFFIK exists to energise this movement of generosity.

Organ trafficking

In this money-minded world there are things being done just to make good profit. The most inhuman activity, involved in this is human trafficking which is selling, one human’s life to other for small amount of money. Human trafficking is done for several reasons which includes trafficking for sexual exploitation, forced labor but most sensitive part is trafficking for organ trade, in any sense it is a crime.

 Trafficking in organs is a crime that occurs in three broad categories. Firstly, there are cases where traffickers force or deceive the victims into giving up an organ. Secondly, there are cases where victims formally or informally agree to sell an organ and are cheated because they are not paid for the organ or are paid less than the promised price. Thirdly, vulnerable persons are treated for an ailment, which may or may not exist and thereupon organs are removed without the victim's knowledge. The vulnerable categories of persons include migrants, especially migrant workers, homeless persons, illiterate persons, etc. It is known that trafficking for organ trade could occur with persons of any age. Organs which are commonly traded are kidneys, liver and the like; any organ which can be removed and used, could be the subject of such illegal trade. 

Trafficking in organ trade is an organized crime, involving a host of offenders. The recruiter who identifies the vulnerable person, the transporter, the staff of the hospital/ clinic and other medical centres, the medical professionals, the middlemen and contractors, the buyers, the banks where organs are stored are all involved in the racket. It is a fact that the entire racket is rarely exposed and therefore, the dimensions are yet to be appropriately fathomed.

As in other trade price of commodity is fixed, in organ trade also the price of the organ is fixed.   Organ such as kidney, liver and heart is sold in the black market and their price is set upon the demand of the organ.

For example:  average paid by a kidney buyer $150000 and average paid to the seller of the kidney $5000 , Average price paid by a liver buyer $21900

There is a another side of organ trade, which are estimated, 120675 patience waiting in the national waiting list for organ transplant it’s obvious that the demand for fresh new organs is high a fact that has created the perfect conditions for thugs corrupt medics and politicians to exploit organs from those who have nothing then sell it to those who have much and in the process make a sizeable profit

There are certain alarming facts, the guiding principles on human organ transplantation (1991) of WHO state that the commercialization of human organs is 'a violation of human rights and human dignity. Even the priceless human body has been tagged with a price tag depending on the body part

As an example a heart can fetch up to one million pound in the black market even after knowing the fact that those who chose to go through a illegal organ transplant faces great danger as the organs are not guaranteed to work and many in fact fail after operations even then typical organ donor is a male of 28 years with annual income of $480 while recipient is a male of about 48 years with annual income of $53000

Even then the forceful trade of organ is being continued which leaves us with a question that the precious human body parts need to be traded for silly reasons of black magic and killing a 7 year old boy to give life to 47 year old person after knowing the fact that trade is going to kill both of them.

CHILD LABOUR YA KAHE BAL SHRAM

 

           

           Child labour a broken dreams

   The problem of child labour is a serious matter not only in India but also in other developing countries. It not only damages, it spoils the future of children but also exploits them in many ways(i.e physically, mentally, morally or by blocking access to education.                 Yha bache bhi beekte                                      

      Aur 

bachpan bhi..........

From ancient times, children were required to do some work either at home or in the field along with their parents.

You all have seen children picking garbage, working in tea stalls, as a labour, in a restaurant, begging on the street, stone breaking and in many hazardous or dangerous jobs.

       Poverty+ large families+ no legal rights for children + Children are cheap labour + easy to control=Child Labour.

Child labour is economically unsound, psychologically disastrous and ethically wrong.It should be strictly banned.The general improvement in socio-economic conditions of people will result in gradual elimination of child labour.

     WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CHILD LABOUR? THINK FOR A WHILE ..............

Achha Toh Hum Chalte hain :')

Goodbyes are not forever. Goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean i will miss you, till we meet again! 

It was a great experience working on a new platform like a blog and doing something fruitful, rather than actually killing time on Facebook. In this process, we learnt team work, coordination, patience and most importantly, forged friendship with people whom we didn't know very well.

Here is what the Epsilon members think of each other.

GHOSTS- Real or Not?!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wj2sPbiRkVY

Personal Experience is one thing but scientific evidence is another matter. Part of difficulty in investigating ghost is that there is not one universal agreed upon definition of what a ghost is some believe that they are spirits of the dead. Who for whatever reason get “lost” on their way to other side others claim that ghost are instead telepathic entities projected into the world from our minds.

The reason that belief in ghosts is part of a larger web of related paranormal belief including near death experience, Life after death and spirit communication. We have all been raised with ghosts in our lives. Cartoons, scariest legends of the Halloween and deceased relatives that we wonder about all point to that paranormal existence maybe. But some people do not believe in ghosts as they say if ghost are visible or able to feel so we can believe in ghost. We develop fear after we watch horror movies because horror movies are full of scary secrets.

 It’s not real it’s all creative things. I observed that mostly people do not believe in ghost but those people who believe in ghosts, they say we have experienced it and we can feel ghosts or spirits. They suggest we should not talk about them as it can be harmful to us. If god is there so ghost is also there. We are capable of talking to ghosts, but we don’t work on the skills that would be needed to do this and most of us don’t want to see, hear or feel a ghost (maano ya Na maano kahi Na kahi aapka dil bhi yahi kahega sshhhh koi haiiiiiiiiiii)

According to my personal opinion there is no ghost I don’t believe in ghosts. They are only in stories or movies depending on our mindset.
