Trafficking of tribal girls in Chhattisgarh<br> (Case No. 201/33/14/09-10-wc)<br>

Media carried a report on the 1st September, 2009 that the trafficking of girls is rampant in the regions of tribal population in Chhattisgarh. Quoting a survey conducted by an NGO, the report alleged that 1433 girls were missing from 17 villages. Most of the girls in the tribal regions in the state are being lured under the false promise of jobs in the metropolitan cities and then forcibly pushed in flesh trade as either a sex worker or a maid servant without any payments to them. The Commission issued a notice on the 10th September to the Chief Secretary, Government of Chhattisgarh, calling for a report in the matter considering that if true, the matter amounts to serious violation of human rights of the girls.
