As per recent study by international charity for orphaned and abandoned childrenIndia is now home to 20 Million Orphans. Most of these children have been abandoned by their parents. In fact, the study estimates that only 0.3 per cent of these orphans are children whose parents have actually died. According to the study, an additional 13 per cent of these children live in single-parent households, which are also socially and economically marginalized. About 85 per cent of children from single-parent households live with their mothers. Orphaned children are greatly in need of care in protection, being among the most susceptible to poverty, child labor and child trafficking. The adopted girl child are most susceptible to maltreatment and trafficking.With the high female infanticide rates, India is a daughter deficient and son surplus country. In this regard, Haryana is the worst state. With the paucity of eligible girls for marriage, they are brought in from poor States and this further exacerbates the problem of human/child trafficking. Child trafficking is a serious problem.
