Fewer and Fewer Women are Being Rescued From The Sex Trade

A police report released in India on Wednesday, April 8th says that fewer and fewer women and girls are being rescued from the sex trade in India. The facts are alarming as 172 women were rescued in 2006, this number dropped to 91 in 2008. In addition to these facts the report also shows that 62 women were arrested in 2006 and only 54 were arrested in 2007. The police commissioner Rajendra Sonawane says that the facts don't mean less women are trafficked or hurting in the sex trade it only means that more pimps, madams, and brothel owners are learning how to get around the law. The police commissioner still contends that the police force is proactive in solving sex cases: "Whenever we get a call informing us that minors have been pushed into the sex trade, we rescue them. The police also act on their own information." To read the full article you can click on this link or visit the following website, www.expressindia.com!
