This chapter is concerned with the problem of human trafficking in South Asia with particular reference to India and Bangladesh. The key argument of this chapter is that human trafficking has been traditionally approached from the perspective of criminalization mainly because of its adverse effects on sexual exploitation of women and children. The root causes of human trafficking, particularly women trafficking, from India and Bangladesh, however, are related to these regions’ vast and intractable economic poverty of women, which, in turn, is related to the political economy of global capitalism. The unequal economic distribution of wealth within the global economy and within the societies of South Asia has created a great crisis of human security in the lives of millions of women, particularly those who belong to the lower castes in India and lower and disenfranchised classes in Bangladesh. Because of this problematic of human security that bolsters intra-regional and inter-regional women trafficking in and from India and Bangladesh, there will always be a limit to the success of criminalization alone as a policy for combating human trafficking in these regions.
