Chad steps up fight against human trafficking
Chad strengthens its legal framework and operational efforts to combat human trafficking, with a focus on women and children.
The Government of Chad is escalating its campaign against human trafficking, with a special emphasis on protecting women and children. Recent directives have been issued to judicial and security authorities, underscoring the urgency of enforcement.
Human trafficking remains a severe violation of human rights, often involving sexual exploitation and forced labor. Chad, a signatory to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime since 2009, has enacted key legislation, including Ordinance No. 006/PR/2018 and Law No. 12/PR/2018, to address this crisis.
Security and judicial leaders have been instructed to accelerate investigations, prepare detailed reports, and transfer cases to appropriate courts without delay. All documented cases must be reported to the General Secretariat of the Ministry of Justice and the National Anti-Trafficking Commission for thorough monitoring.
Provincial delegates are now responsible for ensuring strict compliance with these guidelines. The initiative aims to establish a national database to guide future anti-trafficking policies in Chad.
