The Kaikhali border in Satkhira, near the Sundarbans, has emerged as a key route for women and child trafficking due to its unfenced, riverine terrain. Traffickers operate from temporary camps and use small boats to transport victims to India. Despite rescue operations, locals report many go unaccounted for. Weak law enforcement and few convictions worsen the crisis. The BGB claims to be actively patrolling, but rights groups call for stronger action as trafficking cases rise sharply, especially during the monsoon season.
