Mahbub Rahman Lecturer (Sociology) Department of Arts & Sciences Bangladesh Army University of Science and Technology Saidpur Cantonment, Saidpur-5310, Nilphamari, Bangladesh Email id –snigdho.mahbub@yahoo.com Abstract Child trafficking in Bangladesh is believed to be extensive both within the country and to India, Pakistan and the Middle East. Many girls are trafficked into sexual exploitation or bonded servitude. This study demonstrates as a whole the Child Trafficking phenomena. This paper tries to study present scenario of child trafficking in Bangladesh, causes, routes, consequences and the problem of trafficking of children with special reference to Bangladesh. In the process, different dimensions of the problem have been looked into. At the same time, various efforts taken by the Government, international agencies, and NGOs to combat the menace were also reviewed. This paper is basically a combination of secondary data. Most of the child have been found trafficked for sexual exploitation. The crime of trafficking is mainly committed against persons who are socially and economically vulnerable. Economic under development generates huge exodus of men and women to affluent countries. As far as trafficking in women and children is concerned, it necessarily involves a gender dimension and a negative consequence on the rights of women and children as almost all the women/girl child victims are trafficked for the immoral purposes of flesh trade or child-victims are sold as suppliers of human organs. Trafficking is a dynamic concept, the parameters of which are constantly changing to respond to changing economic, social, and political conditions. Regarding the child trafficking issue GOs & NGOs give more importance on Preventive measures rather than Protective measure. However GOs & NGOs plays a vital role regarding this issue.
