MALE, 29 April, 2021 (TON): The President of Maldives Ibrahim Mohamed Solih ratified the amendment to the anti-human trafficking laws of the nation.
The move has been taken so that any wealth or goods obtained from human trafficking can be seized by the government.
On 14 April, the bill for the amendments was passed by the parliament and detailed what constitutes as human trafficking and what constitutes as child human trafficking as well.
This includes exploitation of children and bringing a child from a foreign nation or sending a child to another nation for the purpose of exploitation.
Recruiting children for work is also deemed as child human trafficking under the law.
However, the President ratified the bill as it has now been inserted into the government gazette and is now implemented in the Maldives.
