Odisha Guv releases user-friendly handbook on Human trafficking

Bhubaneswar, Feb 24 (UNI) A set of five, user-friendly handbooks on human trafficking for duty officers in Odisha was released by Governor Prof Ganeshi Lal.

Releasing the book in an event organized by anti-trafficking NGO Prajwala, the US consulate General Hyderabad and Kalinga Fellowship, Mr Lal said the focus should be on spreading spiritual awareness about human existence to stop this inglorious practice.

He said Human Trafficking is a dangerous phenomenon and shame on human civilization, which needs to be eradicated at any cost.

These handbooks represent a unique effort to collate existing laws, policies and judgments that empower duty officers to effectively tackle cases of human trafficking keeping the victim at the centre of focus, the Governor opined.

Dr Achyuta Samanta, MP and founder of KIIT and KISS said human trafficking is an organized crime for which a collective approach is required to combat the menace effectively.

Padmashree Sunita Krishnan and founder of Prajwala said the lack of multi-stakeholder convergence in the implementation of the existing legal statutes and government schemes are multiple factors that have contributed to the growth of organized crime.

The handbooks will provide the officers with an accessible, comprehensive tool, she said

David Moyer, Public Affairs Officer, US Consulate Hyderabad called for more concentrated action to check the crime.
