Trafficking of women and
girls has been a common problem for south Asian region. Every year, thousands of
Bangladeshi women and girls are trafficked to India.
In the absence of effective anti-trafficking actions, innocent girls are lured,
deceived and kidnapped into sex trade. Poverty and illiteracy have also fueled
the sex trade. Gender discrimination and ignorance are other factors that have
encouraged enrolling the sex trade. In some remote or border areas’ girls with
little formal education are particularly vulnerable.
 HIV/AIDS is a viral Sexual
Transmission Diseases (STDs) which threatens life expectancy and, with it,
development, social cohesion, political stability and food security. It imposes
a devastating economic burden on countries. Behaviors that bring the
highest risk of infection in Bangladesh are unprotected sex between sex workers
and their clients, needle sharing and unprotected sex between men.
HIV incidence is rising
faster in India that is the neighboring country of Bangladesh. In India rates
of sexually transmitted infections and injecting drug use are also on the rise.
Drug trafficking, along with the economic and psychological consequences of
recent conflicts, is increasing the likelihood that HIV epidemics will emerge in
this region.
The Human rights
organizations in
Bangladesh estimate that more than 20,000 women and children were trafficked
annually for the purpose of prostitution, and more than 50,000 women and
children were estimated to have been trafficked into India
annually, most for the sex trade. The situation of Bangladesh
like that trafficking of women or children for sexual exploiting is a high
profitable business. The system of constitution & low almost every time fever of
trafficking criminal as like Brazil. This criminal group thinks that some time
this crime has risk but less, but it has great profit, no any possible of loss,
invest is nothing size of the profit. Every trafficking event there is several
people work behind the incident. It is a group works. They are more organize and
committed. But it is harmful to the thousands of women and children exploited in
slavery-like situation in the global sex industry.
Day by day it is mounting
evidence that the trafficking of women and children for sexual exploitation, is
a significant problem in Every Country. Usually commercially sex trafficking is
more than an issue of crime or migration; it is an issue of gender
discrimination and the worse status of women. Around the world most trafficked
people are adolescent girls, women and children of low socio-economic status,
and the primary trafficking flows are from poor of developing countries to more
wealthy countries.
Rainbow Nari O Shishu
Kallyan Foundation found, Trafficking is strong link HIV pandemic, if we see;
globally of those HIV epidemic region, trafficking & sex exploitation is regular
feature of there. Mostly trafficking victim are used commercial sex industry in
other geographical area, they stay in there, as like in prison, they have no
rights of speak out themselves. They are forced to sexual conduct with multiple
partners, but they have no ability to insist upon condom use or safe sex and are
vulnerable to HIV/STIs transmission. Some time they have to face physical
attack, but they don’t get health care facilities.
Several social norms and
immature behavior fueled of this disease to scatter rapidly. There are several
social components link to develop this harmful situation. Poverty-behind to
force it, Gender discrimination plays a vital role; Frustration & risk behavior
help to sink humanity resulting infection. The link between poverty & gender
discrimination are help to decline socio economic prosperity. This link creates
several anti social poisonous issues also. Such as trafficking to prostitute,
sell sex for earn or living, break down family norm to create frustration and
driven drug point. We notice easily that Illiteracy is the main watchword of all
circumstance. So it is not easy to remove it from the society, several programs
& strategy are needed to gain sustainable position.
