Disputes
- international:

discussions
with India remain stalled to delimit a
small section of river boundary,
exchange territory for 51 small
Bangladeshi exclaves in India and 111
small Indian exclaves in Bangladesh,
allocate divided villages, and stop
illegal cross-border trade, migration,
violence, and transit of terrorists
through the porous border; Bangladesh
protests India's fencing and walling
off high-traffic sections of the
porous boundary; a joint
Bangladesh-India boundary commission
resurveyed and reconstructed 92
missing pillars in 2007; after 21
years, Bangladesh in January 2008

Trafficking
in persons:
|
|
current
situation: Bangladesh
is a source and transit country for men,
women, and children trafficked for the
purposes of forced labor and commercial
sexual exploitation; a significant share of
Bangladesh's trafficking victims are men
recruited for work overseas with fraudulent
employment offers who are subsequently
exploited under conditions of forced labor
or debt bondage; children are trafficked
within Bangladesh for commercial sexual
exploitation, bonded labor, and forced
labor; women and children from Bangladesh
are also trafficked to India and Pakistan
for sexual exploitation
tier
rating: Bangladesh
is placed on Tier 2 Watch List because it
does not fully comply with the minimum
standards for the elimination of
trafficking; however, it is making
significant efforts to do so, including some
progress in addressing sex trafficking; the
government did not demonstrate sufficient
progress in criminally prosecuting and
convicting labor trafficking offenders,
particularly those responsible for the
recruitment of Bangladeshi workers for the
purpose of labor trafficking (2009)
