'Frame law to stop human trafficking'
Speakers at an advocacy meeting called upon the government to formulate a separate law on human trafficking to curb the crime in the country.
They made the call at an advocacy meeting on combating human trafficking held at the District Administration auditorium in Naogaon last week. Association for Community Development (ACD) organised the meeting with its Programme Manager Tohidul Alam Tia in the chair.
They said now women and children are not only the victims of human trafficking but other people like students and job seekers fall victim of the crime as a tactic of human trafficking has changed and the human traffickers allure the victims with providing them lucrative jobs or opportunities of education in any better institutions.
Speakers stressed the need for formulating a law on human trafficking to protect all types of victims including men, women and children.
Member of the parliamentary standing committee on the information ministry Shahin Monawara Haque MP addressed the meeting as chief guest.
ADC Mozaffar Hossain, Additional District Magistrate Shahjahan Ali, ASP Ahmauzzaman, NGO activist Fazlul Haque Khan, Shazad Alam, ACD PM Ehsanul Amin, among others, spoke at the meeting, said a press release.
