Law Minister Anisul Huq yesterday said human trafficking cannot be prevented by only enforcing laws.

"Integrated approaches are needed to combat this offence," he said while speaking as chief guest at an event in Dhaka.

The USAID and Judicial Administration Training Institute jointly organised the meeting at a city hotel on the occasion of inaugurating a training programme on human trafficking, relevant national and international laws and ensuring justice for victims.

Twenty-three judges from Anti-Human Trafficking Offence Tribunals and Women and Children Repression Prevention Tribunals attended the event.

The minister said the government is taking different steps to fight trafficking.

As part of the policy and steps, special importance is being given to quickly dispose of such cases, he added.

Special laws have been formulated and tribunals have been set up for this purpose and judges and prosecutors have been appointed.

Besides, a committee under the ministry of home affairs is working to this effect and a monitoring cell has been established at the Police Headquarters to collect and analyse the information on trafficking.
