Abstract
Trafficking is a wide spread business that not only violates women and children’s human rights but also push them towards a vulnerable state with no protection of life. This paper aims to focus on the perception behind the reintegration process of trafficking survivors, who has returned from India to their families and communities in Bangladesh. In doing so, this research helps to understand the perception of survivors in their reintegration along with the perceptions of community people and family members. This study also brings forth in discussion how their life has been changed and their acceptance in society has been denied. This research was carried out with the help of BNWLA and it intends to find out what BNWLA is doing to reduce those challenges. The study findings show that reintegration of survivors is challenging. Different NGOs and government are working to change people’s mind about the reintegration of survivors and provide facilities to the survivors to get empowered. This study recommends increasing the awareness among people about survivors’ reintegration.
