Sex Slaves For Middle East And ISIS Smuggled Through India

BY SUMIT KUMAR SINGH IN THE SUNDAY STANDARD

Sex sells, or so the bizarre saying goes. Literally, thousands of women from India, Nepal and Bangladesh are sold every year to customers in the Middle East, and the slave markets and sex-prisons of ISIS fighters in Syria. New Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata are the transit points for these sex traffickers. In this web of horror, the predators and facilitators even include airlines and immigration officials. Months before the First Secretary of the Saudi Arabian Embassy in New Delhi, Majid Ashoor, and his Saudi friends were exposed for allegedly gangraping and brutally assaulting two Nepalese girls in his Gurgaon house, another 24-year-old Nepalese woman Reema (name changed) was sold to a middleman by her parents in Nepal. Her dismal fate would have dumped her in the international network of human traffickers to be sold in the booming sex slave market of the Middle East. She, along with six other unfortunates, were detained at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport on July 27, when they were about to board a flight to Dubai. But the markets have expanded.

As the immigration desks at airports have been alerted about the trafficking, and documents as well as the travellers are verified and scrutinised carefully, sex agents have started sending women and girls first to Sri Lanka, Thailand, Morocco and Bangkok, and from there, have obtained visas for the Middle Eastern countries such as the UAE, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, as well as Egypt and Syria. Africa has become the new thriving slave market for these girls with buyers coming from Tanzania and Kenya.

Police investigations into the L’Affaire Majid revealed a bigger network operating, even involving two Air India employees Manish Gupta and Kapil Kumar, who issued boarding passes for flights. In February 2014, Delhi Police and CISF, acting on an Intelligence Bureau alert, rescued 76 Nepalese girls travelling to Dubai from the clutches of traffickers and were repatriated back home. Sources said it is most likely  that they would be sold again to the highest bidder because they are promised lucrative jobs abroad, which would help them escape poverty and misery. On September 2, R&AW issued an alert to Delhi Police about Bangladeshi girls being trafficked from New Delhi to Dubai, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.  “An India-based unidentified contact reached out  on August 31 to his Bangladesh-based female associate and informed that he has ‘managed’ the necessary liaisons in New Delhi through which he would be able to obtain visas for Bangladeshi nationals for Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Dubai,” the alert said.

The R&AW note also observed that the price for each girl was `6 lakh.  Similar alerts were issued by Central agencies on trafficking of women from Nepal, West Bengal, Jharkhand and the north eastern states of India.

Central agencies had alerted the Delhi Police, Bureau of Immigration and airport officials about the racket. “We receive alerts about women trafficked to the Middle East for sexual exploitation,” said a top senior police officer.

A senior police officer from Nepal is currently visiting Delhi to meet with Indian security agencies with details of girls missing from his country over the past two years, who are suspected to have been sent to the Middle East by Delhi-based traffickers. On September 11, he held meetings with various senior police and intelligence officers.

In May this year, Nepal’s Central Investigation Bureau shared information with Indian intelligence agencies that girls and women are being trafficked to Syria and are sold to ISIS terrorists as “sex slaves”. The Nepal government came across the information in April when it busted a group of traffickers, who sold the doomed females for merely `50,000 each to terror organisations in Syria to work in the sex trade.

The Nepal police agencies also said that the women are trafficked through India, especially Delhi. They had nabbed six Nepal-based agents and an Indian  trafficker, Tarun Rojan Khanagwal, who hails from Delhi.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Dinesh Gupta told The Sunday Standard that investigation in cases registered at Delhi airport reveals a vast network of traffickers using the airport as transit point.

The Reema case led to further revelations that more Nepalese girls were brought to Delhi and were given accommodation in Mahipalpur. The police conducted a raid on July 25 and arrested two Nepalese agents, Vishnu Tamang and Daya Ram. Twenty-one Nepalese girls  and women aged between 20 and 35 were rescued. They were to leave for Dubai.

The arrested Nepalese agents told the police that in the last two months,  they had trafficked more than 700 women to Middle East countries for `5,000 per person as commission.

“Delhi and Mumbai have become the transit points for trafficking of Nepalese and Bangladeshi and Indian girls and women,” said a top intelligence official.  In Delhi, around 106 women have been rescued so far this year; around 20 percent of them were bound for foreign shores. Last year, police rescued 235 women, while in 2013, the number was 160, including 43 from Nepal. In 2012, a total of 185 women and girls were rescued, of which 42 were from Nepal. But senior cops say the real figure of women being smuggled out for sexual exploitation is much larger. Shockingly, no database is maintained by any of the agencies. So far this year, police have arrested 62 human traffickers, including eight women, from Delhi. Last year, 199 were arrested, including 31 women.  In 2013, the figure was much higher with 286 arrests, which included 40 women.  The figures clearly suggest that Delhi Police has gone soft on human traffickers in the last two years.

A senior Delhi Police officer said, “It is very tough to detect girls who are more than 18 years old and are being trafficked to Middle East countries, since they leave the country with valid work permits.  Only late do they come to know that they will be forced into prostitution or  become bonded labourer.” He said that until their family members approach them with complaints, they are unable to know about the victim’s condition and moreover, they come from other states than Delhi.

With time, the traffickers have outsmarted the security agencies. Only novice agents send their prey abroad directly.  It is pertinent to note that there is no direct flight to Middle East countries from Kathmandu.  The Nepal Government has asked India to allow Nepal citizens to fly to the Middle East only after getting the necessary clearance from Protector of Emigrants.

“Emigration Clearance from the office of Protector of Emigrants is required for 18 countries—the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain, Malaysia, Libya, Jordan, Yemen, Sudan, Brunei, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Syria, Lebanon, Thailand, Iraq (emigration banned),” said a senior Delhi Police officer.

It’s a Home-Grown Racket

PUBLISHED IN THE NEW INDIAN EXPRESS BY J SANTOSH

The recent case of a 14-year-old girl who delivered a child just two months after she was rescued from an unauthorised children’s home raises questions about children’s homes mushroooming with hardly any monitoring.

Though police have arrested the pastor, Pradhudas (65), who was running an illegal home near Madambakkam for several years, on charges of child sex abuse, the years of trauma the minor girl suffered cannot be undone.

“Even now, the illegal children’s home was exposed because of a civil dispute over the property on which the home was being run and the opposite party complained to police,” says Zaheeruddin Mohamed, a member of the Kancheepuram district Child Welfare Committee (CWC).

Had the illegal home not been detected, the abuse might never have come to light and the child born to the minor girl would have been brought up as another child in the home. The trauma the minor girl would have suffered during her stay in the home with none to console or counsel her cannot be fathomed.

What is more disturbing is the callousness, absence of sensitivity and inability to realise the seriousness of the issue of government officials.

The social welfare department (SWD) has submitted four different sets of contradictory information on the number of homes for children in the State during an ongoing public interest litigation (PIL). “In September 2014, it stated there were 1,814 homes in the State. On April 6, 2015, it claimed 1,843 such homes had been identified. A fortnight later, on April 20, 2015, it submitted that there were 1,559 homes for children. However, in the affidavit submitted on April 18, 2015 by the State Commission for Protection of Child Rights, the count was revised 1,543,” says activist A Narayanan, who is the petitioner in the PIL (see table).

While contradictory information raises questions about the efficiency of the authorities in collecting data on and monitoring children’s homes, the other big question is whether so many children’s homes are needed.

According to estimates by the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights, there are about four lakh children living in homes in Tamil Nadu, which is the highest in the country.

“The main reason is the mushrooming of newer homes opened by private NGOs or trusts in the State. There are strong reasons to believe that most of these homes are run to solicit donations from both domestic and foreign donors.

Many people nowadays want to donate for laudable causes like supporting orphans or destitute children. These homes look out for such donations. Obviously, only a very tiny part of the donations reach the children,” says Zaheeruddin Mohamed.

In the case of the home near Madambakkam run by Prabhudas, Mohamed said most of the children there were taken from their parents by luring them with money.

In August 2013, an instance of human trafficking was reported with similar motives. The city police rescued six children with physical and mental disabilities from rooms in a lodge at Broadway. Enquiries later showed they were trafficked by K Sundar, who claimed he was running a home for destitutes to solicit donations by circulating photos of the children.

Another motive was to imbibe a particular religious belief in small children. A fact finding report by an NGO, Change India, which checked two children’s homes in Trichy and Madurai, found that in both the homes, the children were compelled to learn the Bible and attend religious classes.

“Besides this, the children were always tutored not to mix freely with other classmates in schools and even teachers. They were brought up secluded,” says the report prepared by two masters students of social work.

Shortage of Resources Hampers Crackdown: Child Welfare Panel

There are nearly 500 unregistered homes in Kancheepuram district, one of the largest districts in the state. But the members of Child Welfare Committee, an important agency to identify illegal homes, do not even get conveyance allowance or a vehicle if they want to go on inspection rounds.

“We have to travel by bus to reach places, even if we get to know about an illegal home or abuse of children,” says Dr R N Manikandan, chairperson, Kancheepuram district Child Welfare Committee.

Activists say the inadequate facilities to monitor privately run children’s homes lead to exploitation of the children.

“The main problem is that social welfare and social defense have been clubbed into one department. So officials focus their energies on social welfare schemes like distributing freebies and other social support measures. They seem to have no time for social defense activities like child protection,” says A Narayanan, a social activist who has been fighting against the burgeoning number of unregulated children’s homes in the state.

Narayanan says the government must make Social Defense as a separate department with dedicated manpower. “The Child Welfare Committee has powers of a judicial magistrate in matters of child welfare. But we lack the manpower and support to do what is needed. Our members have all come forward voluntarily for the cause of child welfare. But we are not able to act on all the complaints we receive because of manpower shortage,” says Manikandan.

He says the Juvenie Justice Act mandates that every children’s home must apply for registration with the social welfare department.

“The Child Welfare Committee after inspection recommends approval. However, many of the homes are running without registration and with inadequate manpower, it is making it difficult for us to identify the unregistered homes,” said Manikandan.

BANGLADESH MINOR AMONG TWO RESCUED IN FARIDABAD

Tribune News Service Faridabad, December 5

Two minor girls reportedly brought to Faridabad some days ago and allegedly sold for Rs 30,000 to a resident as domestic helpers have been rescued. The girls, one of whom is a Bangladeshi national and the other is from West Bengal, have been lodged at a protection home.The girls, aged around 14 years, were allegedly sold as housemaids by a trafficker to the owner of a house in sector 16 here recently. They managed to escape from the house on Wednesday night.

While they reportedly tried to hide behind a vehicle parked near the main market, taxi driver Raju spotted them and asked them about their identity. Raju informed NGO Shakti Vahini whose representatives took the girls to the police station where their statement was recorded. While one of them said she was brought here from West Bengal’s 24 Parganas district on the promise of suitable employment, the other was from a village near the Bangladesh border.

Her exact address is yet to be ascertained.“We have traced the parents of the girl who is from West Bengal and have asked them to come here to get their daughter’s custody,” said Rishikant of Shakti Vahini. Stating that Childline, another NGO, had also played a vital role in the girls’ rescue, he said both would stay at a protection home till their repatriation.

A medical test has been ordered to detect the correct age of both girls. The district child welfare committee has asked the police to lodge a FIR.Though this is perhaps the first such case this year in the district, two victims of trafficking – including a 10-year-old girl — were rescued from Rohtak and Faridabad last December. At least four other trafficked victims were rescued from other parts of the state in the past year.

Kept as sex slave in Gujarat, Jabalpur woman wriggles out of hellhole

TIMES OF INDIA

BHOPAL: Madhya Pradesh police arrested a couple who sold a woman in Gujarat where she was kept as a sex slave. Accused Ritesh Barman and wife Mona, are residents of Gorakhpur area in Jabalpur district. They confessed to having sold the 35-year-old woman to one ‘Popet Bhai’ in Gujarat for Rs 1.25 lakh.

Popet sold her to a Patel family in Junagarh for Rs 1.80 lakh. She was kept hostage and repeatedly raped, besides being forced to work as bonded labour. She wriggled out of their clutches and reached Jabalpur on October 23.

On October 29, when two people came to Jabalpur and tried to kidnap her, she went to the police and narrated her ordeal. The rape survivor alleged she was raped by one Bhawan Patel, Vallabh Patel and other members of the family.

Police said, she was a mother of two and was working as a domestic help in Jabalpur. The Barman couple took her to Gujarat, promising better pay. During interrogation, police found more girls had been trafficked from the state and sold in Gurajat by Popet Bhai. Teams have been dispatched to Gujarat to arrest him. A case has been lodged against five people, including Popet.

Apparel exporters to end child labour, cleanse supply

HUMAN TRAFFICKING NEWS IS A SHAKTI VAHINI / NATIONAL LEGAL RESEARCH DESK  INITIATIVE

AHMEDABAD: Censured for engaging child labour by gloabl apparel brands, the Indian apparel export industry has decided to adopt zero tolerance on child labour and cleanse the supply chain.

The extensive auditing of the supply chain will make garments from India expensive by 5%, but will keep India off trade barriers owing to lack of compliance.

“There is a huge complaince fatigue in the Indian apparel export industry. Although catering to the global brands, apparel suppliers are yet to accept that compliance is an essential management practice. We would now reach out to labour contractors to remove child labour and get the supply chain of the suppliers audied so that the industry is not held ransom by our global buyers due to prevailance of child labour or bonded labour in the supply chain,” said Chandrima Chatterjee of the Apparel Export Promotion Council.

AEPC has designed a complaince programme “Disha” (Driving Industry Towards Sustainable Human Capital Advancement) that would be implemented on the $11 bn industry soon. Disha will be coordinated and monitored in liaison with the Ministry of Textile. Global apparel buyers like H&M, Adidas, Next were part of the team that went behind consultations while drafting Disha.

Primark, Gap, M&S have had problems with their Indian suppliers in the past when the latter faulted on compliance. US, that gives 30% of business to the industry, blacklisted it for using child and forced labour and even cancelled certain shipments for non-complaince.

International Labour Organisation‘s Coen Kompier notes that excessive contract labour in North India, wages, freedom of association and supervisory practices are cause of concern. In the supply chain, which is mostly informal, child labour is a problem, especially at home-based work (embroidery), he adds.

Disha, essentially a faith-building exercise, will bring in rigorous third party audit programmes involving international auditing agencies in the supply chain. Post-audits and implementation of suggestions by the audit committees, factory owners can have accreditation from international agencies, which will make them competent in international business.

“Supply chain auditing will take into account the primary facility, sub-contractor, sub-sub-contractors, home-based work in villages and even slums. While small time exporters are believed to incur 5% extra cost due to complaince, it would be 1% for big export houses. The exporters would need to make their management more efficient,” Chatterjee adds. Disha will aid garment exporters understand and comply with global social standards and norms of International Labour Organization (ILO) pertaining to child labour and labour related aspects like health, safety and also ensure that cases of trafficking, forced labour, exploitation are identified and plugged.

About 700 garment factories will be initially orientated for the programme. Kompier however, adds that auditing of the supply chain alone would not help. “It has not resulted in major improvements over the past decade,” he says adding that multinational buyers need to coordinate their compliance work, and establish linkages with public factory inspection authorities.

It also met the Director, Social Welfare and his team separately and visited the Meghalaya Hindu Mission Orphanage to inquire into a complaint of child abuse and interacted with the representatives of various civil society organizations. The visiting team expressed its displeasure over the dismal condition of child labour in the coal mines as well as widespread prevalence of child labour in other sectors like hotels, restaurants and market places. They were also shocked to learn about the pathetic situation of the street, disabled and HIV/AIDS affected children in the State.

Some of the directives include ensuring mapping of the schools and survey of the out-of-school children in the State within 3 months, undertake mapping of schools in the coalmine and coal depot areas of Lad-Rymbai and Rymbai in Jaintia Hills district, ensure that corporal punishment is not practiced in the schools and furnish a report to the Commission on the ongoing inquiry involving the same.

The Commission asked for a status report on School Health Programme and Immunisation initiative in the state within two weeks from the health department. It directed the department of Mining and Geology to undertake a survey mapping of the mines and mining areas of the state and report to the Commission within 4 weeks and expedite and finalise the proposed Mining Policy (2009) which is under process with the Government. It has also directed to constitute a state-level Core Committee on Child Labour under the leadership of Secretary Labour, along with the Secretaries of Education, Home, Social Welfare and Deputy Commissioners of the vulnerable districts as its members.

Cycling miles to spread smiles

INAGURATION OF THE CHILDLINE VEHICLE

HINDUSTAN TIMES

A group of cyclists are on a mission to spread awareness against child abuse. They are pedalling to raise funds so that children from the economically weaker sections could be provided education. Meet the Team T3 cycling group – Manas Arvind, Dr Chiro Mitra, Jasbir Singh, Nitish Bajaj and Sayantan Chakraboti who have taken up the noble cause. All acheivers in their own right, they say they want to contribute for the welfare of the future leaders of the country. Arvind, a businessman by profession, said, “Cycling is our passion but now it is our mission. Sometimes people bid saying if we cycle 200 kilometres, they would contribute Rs 200 and that’s how we are generating money.”

Dr Mitra, a veterinary surgeon, said, “We ride miles to bring smiles. We just need to open our eyes and realise that there are many children who are being exploited.” Members of the organisation feel that though the police department has introduced a child helpline number (1098), many people are still not aware. “We also have a Facebook group. Presently, we have 50 members who have started cycling with a mission,” Arvind added.  In February this year, the group cycled from Gurgaon to Ajmer and raised funds to purchase a rescue vehicle for Shakti Vahini, an NGO.

Don’t call women, elderly to police stations, cops told

THE TRIBUNE Gurgaon, November 9

CHILDLINE SE DOSTI CAMPAIGN - GURGAON

THE TRIBUNE

Haryana ADGP-cum-Gurgaon Police Commissioner Surjeet Singh Deswal has directed the police officials not to call any senior citizen or woman to the police station, even if they are accused, witness or complainant in a case. Speaking at the launch of “Childline se Dosti” campaign at his office here today, Deswal advised the station house officers (SHOs) to ensure that their subordinates behaved in a courteous manner with the elderly and women. The Police Commissioner maintained that the statement of a woman should be recorded only by a woman police official.

Referring to cases of child abuse, Deswal pointed out that the Gurgaon police had adopted a “zero-tolerance” approach towards cases of child abuse, which meant that no person involved in child abuse would be spared. He appealed to the affected children, their parents and the school authorities to report the cases of child abuse instead of suppressing these.

“Such cases can be reported on police control room numbers 100 and 0124-2316100 or on woman and child helpline number 0124- 2335100. Joint Commissioner of Police Alok Mittal, DCP (west) Maheshwar Dayal, DCP (traffic) Bharti Arora, DCP (crime) Anil Dhawan, DCP (headquarters) Kulwinder Singh, DCP (south) Pala Ram, besides ACPs and SHOs were also present at the inaugural programme, which was organised by two NGOs – Childline and Shakti Vahini.
