Bangladesh retained its Tier 2 ranking in the 2025 US State Department Trafficking in Persons report for the sixth straight year. The designation applies to nations that fall short of minimum anti-trafficking standards but demonstrate substantial efforts toward compliance.

The government increased training for officials on victim identification and trauma care while establishing a National Referral Mechanism. Authorities identified more trafficking victims and connected them to protective services compared to the previous year.

The report noted significant shortcomings in prosecuting traffickers and addressing internal trafficking crimes such as sex trafficking and forced child labor. Labor inspectors lack adequate resources to monitor informal employment sectors and enforce violations.

Protection programs remain inadequate for Rohingya refugees and returning migrant workers. The government permits recruitment fees that create debt burdens for migrant workers and increase their trafficking vulnerability.
