This is a hand book born out of necessity and demand. While countless women and children trafficked for commercial sexual exploitation (CSE) face the gravest violations of human rights, the response systems are unable to address or redress their grievances and, often, exacerbate the harm and sufferings these women and children endure. This is obvious from the fact that when, on the one side, the traffickers and exploiters are seldom brought to book, on the other side, the victims are frequently criminalized and persecuted. Such violations are mostly due to (a) inadequate knowledge of law, procedure and protocols, (b) inappropriate understanding of the issues and concepts, (c) want of genuine sensitivity to the issues and (d) the mindsets and prejudices which dictate and dominate the decision-making process. This Handbook encapsulates the required knowledge and skills relevant in the field and thus intends to encourage Rights-based attitudes which will empower the law enforcement officials
