President M Abdul Hamid on Friday called upon guardians to remain alert so that the teenaged students do not fall prey to human trafficking by stepping into the trap of teen gangs, TikTalk or Likee.
“I urge parents to be vigilant so that soft-hearted learners don’t fall prey to human trafficking and any other criminal activities through teen gangs, TikTalk or Likee,” the President in his recorded speech told a function here.
He added “Horrors of human trafficking and drug abuse are creating chaos in the society . . . Many families are being destroyed due to it and we have to keep the young generation away from it.”
The ‘National Human Rights Commission (NHRC)’ organised the discussion at the auditorium of Krishibid Institution, Bangladesh, here, marking the ‘Human Rights Day-2021’.

The head of the state asked all concerned, especially the members of law enforcement agencies, to come forward to maintain a peaceful environment in the society.
“Public awareness campaign is a must to control drug abuse, human trafficking and pornography . . . Creating mass awareness, strong family ties, building social resistance and strict monitoring of the administration can play an important role in curbing this crime trend,” he added.
On overall women development countrywide, President Abdul Hamid said Bangladesh is recognized as a role model for women empowerment in the world and women, simultaneously, men must play equal significant role against women violence.
He emphasized the importance of human values in education, saying, “We should be especially aware of developing human values in all spheres of family, society and institution.”
The President said many states, including Myanmar, Afghanistan, Palestine and Syria, are facing humanitarian crisis and all world countries must work together to resolve these crises or violations of the human rights.
