Trafficking Women and Children in Bangladesh: A Silent Tsunami of Bangladesh

Abstract

Trafficking in human beings is abhorrent phenomenon. Bangladesh is a source and transit country for men, women, and children trafficked for the purposes of forced labor and commercial sexual exploitation. The major purpose of this paper is to analyze the present state and process of trafficking, network relations among the traffickers and the causes of trafficking and its impact in a patriarchal social system like Bangladesh. The trafficking has become a major issue of concern and its intensity is growing day by day in Bangladesh. This paper also suggests some suggestions to prevent trafficking as well as to reintegrate the trafficked victims with the main stream of population.
