Overview
UPSC examines human trafficking as a critical social justice issue, highlighting vulnerabilities of marginalized groups (women, children), organized crime, gaps in legal and institutional frameworks, and the state's role in protection and rehabilitation. It also tests the understanding of constitutional values and human rights.
Human trafficking is a grave violation of human rights, involving the use of force, fraud, or coercion to exploit individuals for various purposes, including commercial sexual exploitation, forced labor, or organ removal. It is a complex crime often driven by economic disparities and demand, preying on vulnerable populations.
