Human trafficking is a serious global problem and crime against humanity. In Bangladesh, human trafficking occurs through criminal gangs exploiting poor and vulnerable people, especially women and children. Victims are often lured with false promises of employment abroad and then forced into sex work, domestic servitude, or other forms of exploitation. Common destinations for trafficked Bangladeshis include Middle Eastern countries, India, and Pakistan. Factors like poverty, lack of awareness, corruption, and weak law enforcement contribute to the high rates of human trafficking in Bangladesh. To address this issue, the document recommends strengthening laws against traffickers, increasing border security, economic development, and raising public awareness.
