To begin with, the standing committee will meet once in a month &#8230;,&#8221; it said.<\/p>\n<p>The ministry of women and child development also told the bench that the CAC and the standing committee have dicussed in detail the report of NALSA on the issue of girls trafficking.<\/p>\n<p>NALSA, in its report filed with the apex court, had suggested roles of various stakeholders in the prevention, rescue and rehabilitation of victims of trafficking for commercial and sexual exploitation.<\/p>\n<p>The report has sought a direction to the Centre that an organized crime investigation agency be set up to investigate the cases of human trafficking and organised crime.<\/p>\n<p>Terming the women and children as &#8220;vulnerable to sexual exploitation&#8221;, the NALSA had recommended among other things a direction by the Supreme Court to the legislature to define term &#8220;sexual exploitation&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The NALSA had said there was a strong linkage between &#8220;trafficking and missing persons&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>It had also suggested that the standard operating procedure, as devised to handle cases of missing children, can be &#8220;suitably adopted&#8221; in cases of trafficking of girl child.<\/p>\n<p>The NALSA had also recommended creation of &#8220;comprehensive source of data on missing and trafficked persons&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, the court had asked the NALSA to file its report on measures which can be adopted to curb child trafficking and prostitution and ensure the rehabilitation of victims.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Centre on Tuesday told the Supreme Court that instead of amending certain provisions in existing statutes, there was a need for a &#8220;comprehensive legislation&#8221; to tackle all aspects of human trafficking.
