DHAKA, 21 July 2022, (TON): The State Department of the United States in their 2022 trafficking in persons report has ranked Bangladesh on Tier-2 saying that the government of the country is yet to ‘fully meet’ the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking.
State Department, however, said “the Bangladesh government demonstrated an increasing effort compared with the previous reporting period, considering the impact of the pandemic on its anti-trafficking capacity.”
It stated “these efforts included increasing investigations, prosecutions, and convictions against human traffickers, including upholding the dismissal of a parliamentarian involved in a labour trafficking case.”
The TIP 2022 has made 18 recommendations including strengthening the capacity of anti-trafficking tribunal personnel to prosecute and adjudicate human trafficking cases and expanding tribunals to heavy caseload areas to improve services for trafficking victims.
