The Assam government announces its anti-human trafficking and anti-witch-hunting strategy.

In a landmark move to safeguard human rights, the Assam government has notified the Assam State Policy to Combat Human Trafficking and End Witch-Hunting. The policy aims to ensure dignity, safety, and equal opportunities for all individuals in the state, addressing these crimes through prevention, protection, and rehabilitation of survivors.
Recognizing human trafficking as a growing organized crime and witch-hunting as a social crime deeply rooted in cultural practices, the policy calls for urgent interventions. It builds on the Assam Witch Hunting Act, 2018, which criminalized witch-hunting but has yet to fully eliminate the practice, with 32 cases registered between 2022-24.
The Department of Women and Child Development will serve as the nodal body for implementation, coordinating efforts across core and allied departments. Committees at the state, district, and gaon panchayat levels will be formed to ensure effective action.
