The Silent Crisis: Addressing Child Neglect and Trafficking in Vulnerable Communities

Abstract

This conceptual research focuses on the pressing issue of child neglect and trafficking in vulnerable communities across India. Utilizing secondary data from journal articles, news reports, and government  studies, the research sheds light on the socio-economic and structural factors that perpetuate these issues. It explores policy frameworks, grassroots initiatives, and international conventions aimed at combating child trafficking and neglect, while identifying gaps in implementation. The study calls for a multi-pronged approach involving community empowerment, stronger law enforcement, and enhanced social services to protect children from exploitation and abuse.
