Inter Movements Open Forum: Trafficking Bill
On 18 May 2018 Gurshabad Grover on behalf of CIS presented comments on the Trafficking (Prevention, Protection and Rehabilitation) Bill 2018 at a meeting of the Inter Movements Open Forum jointly organised by Sangram, Naz Foundation, NNSW, Tarshi and VAMP. The meeting was held at India International Centre in New Delhi.
Gurshabad's presentation was based on Swaraj's blogpost and subsequent research by Kumarjeet that highlights certain problematic sections (36, 39, 41, 59) in the Bill which may have an adverse impact on freedom of expression, and may additionally change the landscape of intermediary liability rules in India.
