Experts and activists say the complex problem cannot be prevented merely by monetary handouts meant to retain girls in school

Kolkata:
Dipali, Manju and Sahanara (names changed) were all beneficiaries of West Bengal’s most talked about conditional cash transfer scheme, Kanyashree.

However, despite being beneficiaries of the scheme, which according to the State government has 56.09 lakh beneficiaries so far, these three young women were trafficked between 2016-18.

Of the three trafficking survivors, one a resident of State’s South 24 Parganas district Canning area told The Hindu that she was abducted in front of a bank in 2017 where she had gone to check whether she had received benefits under the Kanyashree.

Goranbose Gram Bikash Kendra (GGBK), an organisation working with survivors of trafficking in South 24 Parganas, has been involved in the rescue of 21 trafficking survivors in 2018. “Of the 21 girls who were rescued, four of them were beneficiaries of Kanyashree,” Subhashree Ratptam of GGBK said.

Krishnachandrapur High School, located in South 24 Parganas Mathurapur region has about 1,700 beneficiaries of Kanayshree. Principal Chandan Maity said that of these 1,700 beneficiaries, there have been at least 50 cases, where beneficiaries have either been trafficked or married early.
