Fubari, Siliguri:Human trafficking is an organized crime, with the changes in technology over time, the methods of human trafficking have also changed. Today, social media has become an important tool for human trafficking. Human traffickers have reached villages and towns through social media. They lure people with jobs, marriage, luxurious lifestyle, love and money etc. Girls and women are their main targets. Society still lacks adequate information about human trafficking. And human trafficking agents take advantage of this.
