Every day, children and women are being trapped by traffickers posing as placement agents, forcing them into conditions of modern slavery. It’s time to call on the Delhi Government to help end human trafficking by enacting the law to regulate placement agencies.
“Every time I look into the mirror I regret the day I decided to go to Delhi.”
– a 15-year old girl rescued from domestic slavery.
Trafficked into Delhi, she was physically tortured and psychologically traumatized. But there are thousands more like her who are less fortunate – hidden behind closed doors in affluent households of the capital city, trapped into a life of modern slavery.
Trafficking for forced labor is common across India. There are innumerable children and women who go missing from Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Assam and other states every year. With rising poverty and natural disasters, more and more children are dropping out of school. Lack of support from authorities makes them more vulnerable to being lured by fake placement agencies in search of a better life.
Thankfully, the High Court has asked the government of Delhi to draft a law regulating placement agencies. This regulation can be instrumental in identifying traffickers posing as placement agents, and will be a big step towards ending trafficking of people into Delhi for domestic slavery.
Ask the government of Delhi to help end trafficking of people into domestic servitude.

Freedom United is interested in hearing from our community and welcomes relevant, informed comments, advice, and insights that advance the conversation around our campaigns and advocacy. We value inclusivity and respect within our community. To be approved, your comments should be civil.
The government must show true leadership. How would they like it if their children were to be used like these defenceless children. They are too used to their own comforts and think they are above the poor people. God will sort them out, just wait and see. God bless the children and pray that they may come out of slavery; if only the government had the GUTS to comply.
Excellent resonse!!!
This is just horrific. What those poor vulnerable women and children have to endure is sickening. This needs to be stopped right NOW! No human shower do have to endure such degradation and abuse
Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about the things that matter.
Every person regardless of age, stature, culture or religion, deserves to be nurtured, cared for and respected by the rest of the human family as a whole, especially the young, the innocent, the elderly and infirmed! What affects ONE affects ALL! Anyone who believes otherwise is in delusion. A person who harms another is ultimately harming themselves, likewise one who BLESSES another, ultimately BLESSES THEMSELVES!! Even criminals, who need to be disciplined and where possible rehabilitated.
Big thank you freedomunited for taking action!
