        abstract = {Trafficking of human beings in any form is not only prohibited by law but also signify the ingression of basic human rights. Many-a-times, it is being seen that in the name of giving job or else to give some reward, people are becoming the subject of trafficking and are also being compelled to donate their organs and in few cases tissues as well. The heinous activity in the form of organ trafficking is getting increased day by day in economically backward countries like India, Africa etc. and in most of the cases the victims are none other than poor and uneducated people. It is true indeed that traffickers always tend to prey on poor and uneducated people as because it is easier for them to manipulate the will power of such persons without any hardship. Another important fact to be addressed hereinafter is that people lacking financial means are in need of money for their mere survival and also in some other cases; they are in need of money for meeting exigencies. Due to such economic hardship, they are always eager to do anything in terms of getting money and by some way or other become the subject of human trafficking. Apart from poverty, lack of education is also equally responsible for causing increase in organ trafficking as a form of human trafficking.
This present work tries to focus on how people in the name of organ or tissue transplantation are becoming the subject of trafficking and also to suggest the best possible ways to curb this menace.},
