80. The GoB has been closely working with its Indian counterpart through Rescue, Recovery, Repatriation and Integration Task Force (RRRI) on issues of trafficking. The RRRI Task Force Cell has issued 631 orders for the final repatriation of victims of trafficking through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 2012.111 81. The BNHRC observes that although the GoB has undertaken commendable measures to combat trafficking in women and children,112 its capacity to address trafficking remains limited, especially in regard to victim protection and prevention of internal trafficking. Cases related to human trafficking tend to be lengthy and frequently traffickers have managed to reach illegal out-of-court settlements with the victims or their families. In addition, shelter homes for trafficking victims have been poorly equipped to provide psycho-social services to the victims and even some shelter homes have been criticized for their failure to recognize residents’ dignity, privacy, and right to mobility.113 82. With its limited capacity, BNHRC has been trying to respond to situations concerning human trafficking. For instance, on 28 April 2011 the Dainik Bangladesh Protidin reported that Joypurhat-3 BGB Battalion detained seven children in connection with a human trafficking case. The children were placed in detention following a court order. The Commission took up the matter suo moto, and directed the Joypurhat District Magistrate, the Social Welfare Office, the Probation Officer and the Jail Superintendent to act in accordance with the Children Act 1974 and provide follow-up report as soon as possible. The District Magistrate of Joypurhat informed the Commission on 2 May 2011 that the children were transferred from jail custody to a safe home or juvenile facility.114 83. THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUVENILE JUSTICE The Children Act 2013 deals mainly with the administration of juvenile justice in Bangladesh. With a view to revising the Children Act 1974, the BNHRC organized a Consultation Meeting on Child Rights which took place on 9 June 2012 to ensure wide stakeholder input for the purpose of drafting recommendations. With the benefit of these inputs, the BNHRC sent its written comprehensive recommendations to the concerned Ministry in order to ensure that the new legislation would fully comply with the CRC. The most important recommendations were that: (i) the minimum age of criminal responsibility should be raised from 9 to 12 years; (ii) the definition of ‘child ‘should encompass all persons below the age of 18 years; 111 Ibid, at p. 65.
