summary
India has more people living in modern slavery. The population of India is 18 billion, which is the most in the world. There are many types of slavery in India. For example, intergenerational bonded labor, forced child labor, commercial sexual exploitation, forced begging, forced recuitment into non-state armed groups and forced marriage. These are many problems and one of the most serious problems is that it is difficult to know how many people are stuck in sexual slavery. One of the causes is Indian law. It doesn’t differentiate human trafficking from sex work, so we cannot count each correct amount. Therefore, some solutions are needed.
opinion
What should India do in order to reduce the slavery? I suggest two ideas. First, Indian government has to collect and register all Indian personal data like my number in Japan. Developing countries such as India cannot manage it enough. By managing it exactly, Indian goverment can understand where people work and who doesn’t get a legitimate job. Second, India should narrow the gap between rich and poor people. Generally,rich people treat poor people as slavery. By introducing a system of progressive taxation, India must relieve poor people’s burden. I think using these two schemes enable India to reduce the slavery.
