Combating and preventing human trafficking requires holistic approach by all stakeholders and integrated actions on prosecution, prevention and protection. In India, every state has its own police agency under a unified command and control. Consequently, the post rescue care, support and transfer of rescued persons from the jurisdiction of one police station to another or from one district to another within the state, are guided by the directives/ protocols/orders issued by the Home Department or Director General of Police (DGP) of the state, including the Commissioner of Police (CP) in the cities. Furthermore, India does not have a federal law enforcement structure. As a result, there are no mechanisms or protocols for activities relating to inter state rescue and post rescue activities. This Protocol is an effort to address these gaps. |
