International Day Against Human Trafficking

  • On International Day Against Human Trafficking, Talitha Kum Bangladesh Renews Commitment to Protect the Vulnerable

    In a remote Bandarban village, where children climb hills to reach school, a stranger from Dhaka arrived offering promises of opportunity. He convinced the poor parents of a Tripura boy, here called Nitol (not real name), that he would receive a good education in the capital. Hoping for a better future, they agreed. But in Dhaka, Nitol was forced into domestic work instead of school. Only after neighbors identified him was he safely returned home—another reminder of how easily traffickers exploit poverty and trust.
