The U.S. State Department’s 2025 Trafficking in Persons report has placed Bangladesh in Tier 2, acknowledging the country’s substantial and sustainable progress in combating human trafficking. While Bangladesh does not yet fully meet the minimum standards, the report highlights significant government efforts, including enhanced victim protection, expanded frontline officer training, and formal adoption of a National Referral Mechanism. In 2025, authorities identified 1,462 trafficking victims, providing healthcare, legal aid, and shelter through government centers. Bangladesh has strengthened coordination among agencies like CID, PBI, and CTTC, and continues international cooperation with Interpol and neighboring countries. Initiatives also include pre-departure training for migrant workers, specialized courses for female domestic workers, and bilateral labor agreements with major destination countries. These reforms, awareness campaigns, and policy measures reflect the government’s growing commitment to uphold the rule of law, protect migrant workers, and ensure justice for trafficking victims.
