Abstract
Human trafficking continues to be a
substantial human rights issue in Bangladesh, exacerbated by poverty, gender
inequality, inadequate education, and inadequate law enforcement. The critical
role of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the country's fight against
human trafficking is the subject of this legal study. It evaluates the
complementary role of NGOs in prevention, protection, prosecution, and
rehabilitation, as well as the legal framework that governs anti-trafficking
efforts in Bangladesh, including the Prevention and Suppression of Human
Trafficking Act, 2012. The research emphasizes the role of non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) in the provision of victim support services, the increase
of awareness, the implementation of grassroots interventions, and the advocacy
for policy reform. These organizations frequently fill the gaps that are left
by governmental systems. This article emphasizes the necessity of more strong
collaboration between state institutions and civil society by means of legal
analysis and case studies. It also provides policy recommendations to improve
the efficacy of anti-trafficking initiatives. The paper concludes that NGOs are
essential actors in the fight against human trafficking and must be more
effectively integrated into national strategies to ensure a victim-centered,
rights-based approach.
