Women and Girls Trafficking from Indigenous Communities in Bangladesh: A Critical Review on Legal Perspectives
Abstract
Human trafficking, often referred to as modern-day slavery, involves the exploitation of individuals for various criminal purposes, such as forced labor, debt bondage, and commercial sexual exploitation. Women and girls, particularly from diverse backgrounds, are the primary victims of this crime. This research focuses on the trafficking of women and girls from indigenous communities in Bangladesh, examining the underlying factors contributing to their victimization. The study aims to raise awareness among scholars, policymakers, law enforcement agencies, and the general public about the issue of trafficking within these communities. It also seeks to encourage the effective enforcement of anti-trafficking laws to better protect women and girls from ethnic minorities. The paper offers several recommendations to tackle this pressing issue. The findings suggest that indigenous women and girls are trafficked for various reasons, which must be addressed through comprehensive measures. This research adopts a doctrinal approach and employs qualitative methods, consulting both primary and secondary sources to achieve its objectives.
