Provisions against Trafficking in Women as stated by Human Trafficking (Control) Act, 1986

This Act was enacted to cope with the growing menace created by the crimes of trafficking in women and girls for prostitution.

- Selling of a human being for any purpose
- Taking any person to foreign territory with an intention of selling
- Involving any woman in prostitution by enticement or allurement or fraud, or threat or coercion, or by any other way or means; and
- Abetting or assisting or conspiring and making attempt to carry out any of the above mentioned acts.
