Background

With an estimated 5.1 million people living with HIV/AIDS India has

the second largest number of people living with HIV/AIDS in the

world. In recent years there has been considerable rise in the

number of HIV infections among women and girls. HIV infection is

mediated by almost the same set of factors that also cause

vulnerability to trafficking viz. poverty and inequality, poor and

unequal access to services, unsafe population mobility/migration,

gender and patriarchal norms, and gender-based violence. Unsafe

migration involves particular risks for women and children, which

include the risk of being trafficked into an exploitative situation

(including but not limited to the sex trade); the risk of being

sexually exploited; the risk of contracting HIV and other health

complications.

In view of this, the National Project on Prevention of HIV and

Trafficking in Women and Girls (TAHA) has been initiated by UNDP in
