Abstract

Human trafficking has emerged as one of the world's most heinous and ubiquitous kinds of human rights violations against women and children. It has now become a serious social and political concern on a global and national scale. Bangladesh is primarily a source and transit country of cross-border trafficking due to several factors. Using qualitative methods, this study attempts to investigate the current situation and the laws and other strategies adopted by the government of Bangladesh to mitigate and/or battle the problem. It is found that enforcement of law alone cannot combat this evil. This study recommends stringent enforcement of the law, regional and international cooperation, and public awareness to prevent and combat trafficking in women and children in Bangladesh.
