• According to a report by the National Human Rights Commission of India, 40,000 children are abducted each year, leaving 11,000 untraced.
• There are an estimated 300,000 child beggars in India.
• Every year, 44,000 children fall into the clutches of gangs.
• It is estimated that over 2 million women and children are trafficked for sex into the red-light districts in India.
