A large number of migrants are falling victims to human trafficking every year but the low conviction rate in trafficking cases is encouraging the traffickers to continue such evil acts in the country.
Victims and migration sector experts have blamed slow pace of investigation and trial for poor rate of conviction.
In such a situation, World Day Against Trafficking in Persons will be observed today across Bangladesh.
On May 1 in 2015, a mass grave of migrants was found in the deep forests of Thailand where bodies of at least 10 Bangladeshis were recovered.
