2 Indian girls forced into flesh trade in Malaysia, brother seeks DCW help

New Delhi: Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) on Monday claimed that they have received a complaint that two Indian girls, who went to Malaysia to work as a domestic help, was forced into flesh trade there. However, the girl managed to contact the Malaysian Police and was rescued by them.

The women commission received a complaint from her brother expressing her sister's desire to be repatriated to India to her family and her 6-year-old son. She has been kept under the protection of Malaysian Police from where she contacted her brother in India.

DCW Member Vandana Singh wrote a letter to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) urging their immediate intervention in the matter. "The Ministry has confirmed that both women are kept under police protection at Kuala Lumpur. They are under the Malaysian government's protection order," said DCW in a press statement. DCW has urged MEA to ensure that the survivor's brother and 6-year-old son should be allowed to meet her and that the MES should facilitate the meeting.

Further, DCW has also written to MHA to ensure the proper investigation into this human trafficking racket.

DCW Chief Swati Maliwal said, "Delhi is increasingly becoming both source and destination for human trafficking rackets. Such international rackets are running through a deep nexus which needs to be busted. The centre should take immediate steps to ensure that both girls return safely to India and are rehabilitated. Further, they must ensure that no human trafficking rackets operate on Indian land. People behind the trafficking of the two girls should be nabbed and given strong punishment."
