UN and EU combine to fight human trafficking in Bangladesh.

The European Union and the United Nations Development Plan have agreed to jointly fund efforts by the police in Bangladesh to combat human trafficking, a crime which is rife in the country. Ambassador Stefan Frowein, Head of the Delegation from the Commission of the European Union said;
“I am delighted that the European Commission and UNDP are working together to tackle human trafficking. It is a crime that has destroyed the lives of countless women and children in Bangladesh. The police force is in the front-line of efforts to fight trafficking and it is therefore vital that the police are well-resourced and well-trained in this field. This project with the UNDP will contribute to ensuring that this is the case,”
The project will include the funding of research, effective prosecution, and victim support. To read more about this and related subjects, please visit AHN by clicking here.
