The Global Action against Trafficking in Persons and the Smuggling
of Migrants – Bangladesh (GLO.ACT Bangladesh) is a four-year
(2018-2022), joint initiative by the European Union (EU) and the
United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) being
implemented in partnership with the International Organization for
Migration (IOM). GLO.ACT Bangladesh builds on a global community
of practice set in motion in GLO.ACT 2015 - 2019 in 13 partner
countries across Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and Latin America.
Through targeted, innovative and demand-driven interventions, the
project aims to support the Government of Bangladesh and civil
society organizations to more effectively fight the crimes of human
trafficking and migrant smuggling across the country. The project
works on sustaining effective strategy and policy development
focusing on developing evidence-based information on patterns and
trends, legislative review and harmonization, capability development
of criminal justice actors, and regional and trans-regional
cooperation. The project also provides direct assistance to victims of
human trafficking and vulnerable migrants through the strengthening
of identification, referral, and protection mechanisms.
Aims and objectives: The initiative aims in developing and implementing a more effective national
and international response to trafficking in persons and migrant smuggling linked to the following pillars
