Human trafficking is a modern-day scourge that has deeply scarred the social fabric of South Asia. Women, children, and marginalized communities are lured into forced labor, sexual exploitation, and organ trade.

Organized crime groups, backed by corrupt politicians and law enforcement, use intimidation, coercion, and murder to maintain their control over illicit activities.
