Abstrakt: India has a high level of domestic and cross-border human trafficking. Global as well as Indian anti-human trafficking initiatives have been not taken as seriously as they should be in comparison with the threat this crime poses. In many cases, victims tend to be neglected throughout the process of intervention. As human trafficking for sexual exploitation violates human rights, legal and administrative intervention for victims should be within a human rights framework of "reparation" It is argued that providing reparation to victims has the potential to minimize the threat of human trafficking while also supporting victims. Further, it is proposed that India has failed to meet its international obligation to provide reparation to victims of human trafficking, thereby requiring reformation of Indian legal and administrative structures.
