flag Bangladesh stays on U.S. Tier 2 for trafficking, with progress in victim protection but declining prosecutions and ongoing exploitation.

flag Bangladesh remains on Tier 2 of the 2025 U.S. flag Trafficking in Persons Report, reflecting ongoing efforts to combat trafficking despite persistent challenges. flag The government identified 1,462 victims in 2025, up from 1,210 the prior year, and strengthened victim protection through a national referral mechanism, expanded services, and training for officials in trauma-informed care. flag It enhanced inter-agency coordination, launched pre-departure programs for migrant workers, and implemented employer-paid recruitment agreements with Malaysia, South Korea, and Brunei. flag However, law enforcement efforts declined, with fewer investigations and convictions, particularly in internal trafficking cases. flag Victim protection remains inadequate for Rohingya refugees and returning migrants, and recruitment fees continue to trap workers in debt. flag The U.S. urges stronger prosecution, longer sentences, expanded tribunals, and stricter oversight of labor agencies.
