There are two kinds of victims of human trafficking in India. Those who are bought and sold virtually, without consent, on shady apps. And those who are bought and sold in reality, without consent, in the shady areas of town.
Guess which victim gets more attention? Both from the public and from law enforcement.
21 year old accused become young, poor victim of circumstances when they are educated and of the right caste. Underage boys are treated as hardened criminals when poor, uneducated or of the wrong religion.
Seek education at any expense in this country. Do whatever it takes to get educated. Once you are educated, once you are organised, only then your victimhood is recognised. And then even your crimes may be ignored.
