Dr. Sunanda Goenka presents a well-researched work that discusses the problem of cross-border trafficking of women and children in India and its neighbouring countries. Relying on extensive studies including fieldwork, she concentrates on the legal framework available to address the concern which is full of shortcomings, as the legal system results in victimisation of the suffering even as exploiters are rarely punished. She focuses on the jurisdictional dilemma of bordering countries—India, Nepal, Bangladesh in particular. She compares the scenario in India, USA, Israel and other countries.
