Terming human trafficking as an illegal trade, speakers at a workshop on Friday said it posed a great risk to our economic development as the victims failed to contribute to the country’s economy. Large number of our people, mostly women and children, are being trafficked in the country every year. Being trapped in the illegal and inhuman activity, the victims failed to make any economic contribution, they said. They called for raising massive awareness across the country for preventing the crime. They also stressed on making the Human Trafficking Prevention Authority operational. They made the remarks while addressing the workshop on prevention of child trafficking at Rajdhani Girls’ High School at Darus Salam at Mirpur in the city. Chaired by Adv Hasna Begum, executive committee member of Bangladesh National Women Lawyers’ Association (BNWLA), Rezaul Hossain, Acting President of managing committee of the school, Shamsul Islam, Vice President of Darus Salam Unit Awami League, among others, spoke on the occasion.
