Women and Children Trafficking Problem in Bangladesh
Sujon Ahmed, Dhaka, 05 April: Human trafficking especially children and women trafficking has become a major problem in Bangladesh. No country is immune from human trafficking. Each year an estimated 60,000 to 80,000 women and children are trafficked across national borders. In Bangladesh the crime of trafficking is mainly committed against persons who are socially and economically vulnerable.
It is known that most of the women and children are sold as supplies of human organs. And the traffickers use 20 main points in 16 south and south-western districts of Bangladesh near the Indian boarder to run their trade. The main trafficking route is the Dhaka-Mumbai-Karachi-Dubai route. There are people on both sides of the Bangladesh-India boarder involved in this trafficking chain.
It is very sorrowful matter that just like in other parts of Asia, Bangladeshi girls from the villages are trafficked for about $1,000 and sold to the whorehouses and Bangladeshi children are also largely trafficked to work in dirty, difficult and dangerous jobs, get their body parts such as kidneys and other internal organs or to become 'camel race jockeys' in the Arab Gulf countries.
Human trafficking is an offense under the Bangladesh legal system. Constitution of the People's Republic of Bangladesh prohibits forced and compulsory labour. So, the countrymen irrespective of colour and creed hope that such an inhuman and cruel act of child and women trafficking must be stopped at any cost in Bangladesh.
