Human Trafficking is Contemporary Form of Abuse in Pakistan (A Survey Study of Irregular Immigrants to Europe from District Bahawalpur)
Abstract
Human trafficking is frequently attributed to factors like poverty, globalization, and economic inequalities between nations. Slavery's modern equivalent is human trafficking. The fight against human trafficking may be effectively carried out through international law. The UN Convention against International controlled crime is one of most respected and contemporary pieces of international legislation that has paved the way for how to identify, stop, and prosecute human trafficking. Pakistan has been mentioned as a significant cause, transition and terminus state for human trafficking and smuggling of the migrants, indicating a major sector and associated criminal economy. The current study focuses on examining how irregular migration from district Bahawalpur Pakistan, to Europe in specific, and to other EU member countries overall, is being assisted and coordinated via agents and social networks. Since Pakistan is reportedly one of the top ten nations which associated in illegal immigration to EU in contemporary years, irregular emigration become a substantial problem for Pakistan. Pakistan is regarded a transit country for migrant groups travelling from different South Asian nations to places like Iran, Turkey, Greece, Central Europe, and Western Europe. This paper also considers three aspects of immigrants and their family’s ambitions towards illegal immigration. Primary, money transactions are seen as an extensive family welfare source. Their primary concern are giving their Pakistani families a good lifestyle. Second, after spending more time in Europe and being financially secure, many have strong desires to move back permanently to Pakistan. Third, some migrants have expressed a wish to get official documentation. The current paper makes recommendations for more scholarly investigation to increase methodological and theoretical understanding of illegal immigration or agent links in the perspective of Pakistan to European States.
