The chairperson of Rajasthan State Commission for Protection of Child Rights, Sangeeta Beniwal on Saturday held a meeting at the Collectorate in Bhilwara following reports of girls auctioned on stamp papers in the area.
"The incident happened in 2005 when BJP was in power. In 2019, we came and exposed it. ...21 accused were arrested, three died and one is absconding. Two children died, and the rest went to their homes. It was turned into national news," Gehlot said addressing a press conference in Surat. He
The National Commission for Women (NCW) has taken cognizance of the reports that girls are "being auctioned on stamp paper". The Commission said that it has been reported that in many settlements of the village, girls are sold for prostitution on stamp paper.
The UN special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Afghanistan, Richard Bennett said that severe restrictions have been put in place in the country in order to render women "invisible" in society, as the Taliban has imposed numerous restrictions on women and girls.
Reportedly, whenever there is a dispute between the two parties particularly involving financial transactions and loans etc, the girls aged between 8-18 are auctioned to recover money, added the press release.
