Abstract: Sex trafficking is a reprehensible offence that entails the abuse of susceptible persons, frequently women and minors, for the objective of sexual exploitation within conditions of enslavement. The contemporary manifestation of servitude has emerged as a widespread and intricate global predicament, affecting millions of individuals across the globe.

The paper additionally examines the obstacles involved in tackling sex trafficking, including insufficient awareness, legal structures, and efficacious interventions. The intended societal outcome of this research paper is to increase awareness regarding the issue of sex trafficking, which is frequently disregarded and neglected. The present study sheds light on the predicament of individuals who have fallen prey to trafficking and advocates for the implementation of efficacious measures by policymakers, practitioners, and other stakeholders to ameliorate the circumstances of the victims, curtail the likelihood of trafficking among women and children, and ultimately thwart this criminal activity. This study makes a valuable contribution to policy-making endeavors aimed at mitigating sex trafficking and enhancing the safeguarding of its victims.
