## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT (SHRIMATI SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI)

(a) to (c).  The Ministry of Women and Child Development is implementing 'Ujjawala' scheme  which  is  a  comprehensive  scheme  for  prevention  of  trafficking  and  rescue, rehabilitation,  reintegration  and  repatriation  of  victims  of  trafficking  for  commercial sexual  exploitation.  The  objectives  of  the  scheme  inter  alia  include  (i)  providing rehabilitation services, both immediate and long-term, to the victims by providing basic amenities/needs such as shelter, food, clothing, medical treatment including counseling, legal aid and  guidance  and  vocational training, and  (ii) facilitating reintegration  of  the  victims  into  the  family  and  society  at  large.  Under  'Rehabilitation' component of the scheme, grant is provided for setting up of Ujjawala Homes on rent, staff, food, medical care, legal aid, education and vocational training. Under 'Reintegration'  component,  grant  is  provided  for  setting  up  half-way  homes,  seed money and follow-up visits.

A half-way home is a home within the community, where a group of victims, ready for reintegration,  live  and  work  out  of.  This  is  to  facilitate  smooth  transition  from  life  in  a shelter home to an independent living in the community. A half-way home is for a group of  victims  who  are  gainfully  employed  and  can  live  semi-independently  with  minimum supervision. This is a phased approach to re-integration into the community.

Under  the  Scheme,  arrangements  are  made  by  the  implementing  organization  for providing  vocational  training  to  the  women  through  the  Vocational  Training  Institutes recognized by Directorate General of Employment and Training under the Ministry of Labour and Employment. Training and examination fees are reimbursed on submission of the certificate issued by the vocational training institute on successful completion of training.

Evaluation of the Centrally Sponsored Schemes of the Ministry, including Ujjawala, was done by NITI Aayog in 2020 and it was recommended inter alia to integrate it with the Swadhar Greh Scheme, to increase its coverage and enhance the use of information technology in implementation of the scheme.

(d).  State/UT-wise details of rehabilitation of rescued victims during the last three years (2018-2020) is at Annexure .

(e)  &  (f).   The  State  Governments/Union  Territories(UTs)  have  notified  their  victim compensation schemes in terms of Section 357A of the Code for Criminal Procedure(Cr.PC). Further, in order to support and supplement the State Compensation Schemes,  Ministry of Home Affairs had released Rs 200 crores as a one-time grant to State Governments/ UTs under the Central Victim Compensation Fund from Nirbhaya Fund.  States/  UTs  use  the  fund  to  compensate  victims  of  various  crimes,  including human trafficking

Under  Skill  India  Mission,  Ministry  of  Skill  Development  is  implementing  its  flagship scheme Pradhan Mantri Kaushal  Vikas  Yojana  (PMKVY)  to  impart  skill  development training in the country.
