The paper aims to highlight the problem of human-trafficking in the society. Human-trafficking is a serious crime and the gravest violation of human rights as it primarily concerns with the devaluation and disrespect of women. This blatant issue and a social crime should be of great concern because of the sole reason that ‘women’ as a human being deserves to live and lead life in their own way and not subjected to others will and force. Noteworthy of the facts, Gender-ratio is shrinking at an alarming pace in many countries of world so it is necessary to protect and keep safe the women and girls in our society. The status of the problem, its severity and the recommended measures to decline this problem to a greater extent is the ultimate task at present. Trafficking of women is one of the worst and heinous act representing abuses of human rights. It is a shame on the collective consciousness of the social masses supporting this act of social crime whereby ruining one’s life by suppressing the freedom and personal will of women which is even more shameless. Women, significant in numbers constituting the world’s population are routinely subjected to torture, starvation, mutilation and terrorism on the basis of gender-discrimination existed in the society. All human –beings great or small, men or women should be respected and cared for simply by virtue of the fact that they are human beings. The discrimination and violence against women is based on ignorance, illiteracy and tradition. Women real experiences of life across the world and facts and writings on women are testimony to the reality that violence against women is the gravest and most pervasive form of violation of human rights.
