66 j RIGHTS OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN There was need for other Departments to coordinate better with the Social Welfare Department of NCT Delhi and with the State Social Welfare Departments for the rehabilitation of rescued women and children. This would help in checking inter-state and inter-country trafficking across borders. There was need for better networking and coordination within the country between the Police Stations of different States/UTs to combat trafficking. It was stressed, that emphasis should be given to rehabilitation per se. Meaningful steps should be taken by the Government as well as by NGOs workingin the field to arrange the repatriation of victims, their re-acceptance by their families, and their gradual re-entry into the life of their communities. It was observed that the owners of Kothas and pimps were often able to get bail and fi*ee themselves with the connivance of law-enforcing agencies. It was proposed that there was need to examine whether provisions of the Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act, 1976; Inter-State Migrant Workmen (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1971 and the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 could be invoked to stall bail applications.
