DHAKA, 10 November 2022, (TON): UN Special Rapporteur on trafficking in persons Siobhan Mullally has called for greater accountability and said urgent action is necessary to prevent trafficking, and ensure assistance, and protection without discrimination.
The UN human rights expert called on Bangladesh to step up efforts to prevent trafficking in persons, especially for purposes of sexual exploitation, child marriage, and forced labour, and urged authorities to improve rights and protection for victims.
The UN expert said “Child trafficking is a significant risk, which must be addressed through expanded child protection and increased efforts at birth registration. No community should be left behind.”
She met the media at the city hotel on Wednesday afternoon concluding her 10-day visit in Bangladesh.
