The social conditions and the chronic economic distress have raised an ugly problem in this country viz., the traffic in women and children. Advantage is being taken of the helplessness of women destitutes to entice them for immoral purposes. No business, however, can thrive unless there is a demand for it. But unfortunately the men who are partners in the sin escape while the women suffer. The All-India Women’s Conference, therefore, demand that:-
(a) there should be an equal moral standard for men and women;
(b) that rescue homes on scientific lines be established to rehabilitate women who have been victims of the evil;
(c) Rules and Regulations be framed for the conduct of Homes and Hostels meant for women so that no nefarious practice may be carried on under the guise of running such homes; and
(d) steps be taken to improve the social and economic condition of the people in order to minimise the evil.
