Human trafficking is the fastest growing organised crime and women and children are biggest victims of it. Women and children have to remain aware and alert of the criminals as they are trapped by alluring or threatening by the criminals, said Additional Director General of Police (Crime against woman) Aruna Mohan Rao at a workshop on Human Trafficking Awareness on Wednesday.
The workshop was organised at PTRI for students on Human Trafficking Awareness.
During the workshop, Rao said that children should not be tempted by any means and should not believe any newly acquainted person easily and make them friends. The most important thing is if they sense something unusual, they should immediately inform their parents and teachers.
Inspector General of Police, Indore (Crime against woman) RP Shrivastava provided different crimes related with human trafficking.
He said that confidence should be held and one should not worry and never give up in any kind of situation and should inform parents and teachers about the problem.
Raising concern over the increasing human trafficking, Shrivasatva said that children and women should restrain from believing on strangers and should avoid speaking with strangers over phone. Unusual and abnormal behaviour of acquainted person should be reported immediately.
During the seminar, a documentary film on human trafficking was screened and later, queries of the student were answered.
