The US government, in association with the United Nations and India, is planning to set up an Anti-human Trafficking Unit in West Bengal. The announcement was made during the opening of a similar unit in Andhra Pradesh on January 22.

In a significant effort to prevent trade and exploitation of human beings in India, an Anti-human Trafficking Unit was established in Andhra Pradesh, in partnership with the US government and the United Nations.

On January 22, the UN office on Drugs and Crime and the Andhra Pradesh government announced the opening of the first of three Anti-Human Trafficking Units in the state. Additional units have been planned in Bihar, Goa and Maharashtra, and these units, along with that in West Bengal, will come up in the next five years. These units will train law enforcement officials on the various aspects of human-trafficking.

The setting up of the units follows an agreement in 2005 by the governments of the United States and India, and the UN office on Drugs and Crime to train and sensitise law enforcement officials and prosecutors in India on the plight of victims in human trafficking and the importance of bringing to justice those who abuse them.

The US government has provided Rs 11 crore for this project and it will be implemented by the UN office on Drugs and Crime. The Government of India will chair the meetings to help guide planning and implementation.
