Protecting children from trafficing: responses of the governmental and non-governmental organisations in Bangladesh

Abstract

This paper explores the features of child trafficking in Bangladesh and then addresses the responses of the governmental and non-governmental organizations (GOs and NGOs) to the problem. It aims at analysing the sources and causes of child trafficking. The paper also aims to discuss the current initiatives of the GOs and NGOs with its limitations, and finally provides some way out alternatives. The paper argues that the GO-NGO responses are inadequate in the light of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) in Bangladesh. The paper contributes a dynamic and multidimensional understanding of how the GOs and NGOs combating child trafficking issue in Bangladesh.
