Analyzing Trafficking in Person in Religious and Cultural Context: Pakistan
Perspective

The modern world has declared trafficking in person as modern day slavery while Pakistan
is considered as a major contributor to the rise of human trafficking in the South Asia. In
this context, this research aims to evaluate the issue in the light of the Qur’an, Sunnah
(pbuh) and sociocultural context of Pakistan. This study argues that Islam is the only
religion which showed its greatest concerns towards the issues of trafficked persons. It
also aims to recognize the efforts of the modern world to overcome the issue. This study,
however, concludes that despite much legislation nationally and internationally, the issue
could not be resolved and is going to worsen every day. All this, thus, demands an
overhauling of the prevailing sociocultural and legal context. It recommends Renaissance
of the ethics of Islam and the policies of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) and Hadrat Umar to
overcome the evils of trafficking in person in Pakistan.
