Human trafficking

Every day hundreds of women and children are being trafficked out of the country. Poverty forces these poor people into this trade because they think they have no other alternative for survival. They trust the offers of work or marriage abroad, which promises security but lead them to slavery.

Studies show that over 1 million women and children have been trafficked out of the country in the past 30 years and many of them were forced to become prostitutes and domestic helps. Among them, the most popular thing is to traffic Bangladeshi boys to the U.A.E. and other M-E countries for forced work as camel jockeys and beggars. Every day as I see articles about these boys being trafficked to Saudi Arabia at such a young age I become shocked. Are the traffickers humans or something else?

I would like to conclude by saying that human trafficking has become a moral and social problem. Therefore, I request the authorities to look into this problem and put an end to the heinous business.
