Rights Jessore's Thematic Areas: ■ Human Rights: From the very beginning Rights Jessore strongly holds the spirit of Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).Rights Jessore is working for elimination of distinction of any kind, such as race, color, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. We work for the right to life, liberty and security of person. We demand equal protection of the law. We are against torture, cruelty, inhuman or degrading treatment, or punishment. We are for freedom of thought, equal property rights, freedom of expression and opinion and all the issues covered by universal declaration. ■ Anti-trafficking Human Trafficking is one of the brutal business and heinous crime. Rights Jessore is active against this crime from its inception. Rescue, recovery, repatriation, reintegration, legal aid, advocacy, community mobilization all are covered under this thematic area. From the point of perspective of donor support it is the biggest area of operation.

■ Safe Migration Promotion: During the Course of Action Rights Jessore has identified "Unsafe Labor Migration" as a major area what should be dealt with separately as an independent issue. Although there is close link between human trafficking and unsafe migration but due to difference in definition and legal implication it is essential to deal the problem separately. ■ Women Rights & Women Empowerment Women are half of the population but due to their social status and position they are subject to frequent abuse, torture and violations. Rights Jessore strongly believes in the equal opportunity of women; they should enjoy the freedom of life without the fear of being abused, tortured, trafficked or killed. Rights Jessore dedicated to make sure women's participations in social programming so that they are empowered in the community and can defend their rights. ■ Child Rights: Children are the future leader of the nation. Rights Jessore is against any form of violation against children. We believe in the safe, secured and violence free environment for every child with adequate opportunity for their education and development. ■ Good Governance: In principle Rights Jessore promotes good governance and the issue has been a part of organizational focus area. Till date Rights Jessore has been engaged with different sorts of activities and campaigns which promote good governance in public service delivery mechanism. Rights Jessore is one of the proponents to fight corruption at district level. It’s good governance promotional activities include advocacy for establishing citizen charter to enhance public access to information and to ensure social accountability of public service delivery, open budget at union Parishad, activating village court, civic and voter education, anti-corruption campaign and introducing social audit in Rights Jessore’s development project evaluation.


■ HIV/AIDS: HIV/AIDS is one of the major growing concerns. Rights Jessore worked to reduce the HIV vulnerability among the cross border mobile and promoting the rights of the people living with HIV /AIDS (PLWHA). Rights Jessore already established a Voluntary Counseling and Testing Centre (VCT) within general government hospital in Satkhira. Rights Jessore wishes to work further to reduce HIV vulnerabilities among the at risk populations. A few numbers of HIV positive repatriated survivors has been reintegrated in their family too. Linkage and liaison has been made by Rights Jessore to other service provider Offices for their essential services. ■ Environment & Climate Change: As environmental degradation and climate change emerge as one of the major development challenges in our endangering human life and livelihood is contributing enormously towards the number of incidents of human rights violations.

Mr. SM Azharul Islam: He is too much habituated of the conduction any sorts of meeting of national level or International level. He is also very much experienced on the issue of prevention human trafficking and promotion of safe migration. He is also well known to high Government level officials both in India and Bangladesh. He is experienced in networking with networking NGO’s and experienced in rescuing trafficked survivors as well as repatriation. He has a good understanding of SOP. During the exposure visit in India under mentioned subject was discussed with Net working NGO.

Strong networking establishment

SOP monitoring.

Multi agency coordination

Jail case.


Strong networking establishment:

All visited networking NGO’s authority emphasised on strong net working. Without establishing

strong network the expected achievement cannot be achieved they realised. Regular Cross

border networking meeting should be arranged in this purpose. Experience sharing on rescue,

repatriation and integration of human trafficked survivors must need. Regular Exposure visit of

two country’s networking NGO’s is very much needed.

SOP Monitoring :

Visited all networking NGO are agreed with this point for monitoring of SOP. In the previous cross border networking meeting some decision was taken it was as follows Review and Reform of SOP:

1. There is a need of putting greater emphasis on preventive measures by addressing the

structural and root causes of trafficking. This would also contribute in sustainable social

integration of the survivors (which would also contribute in preventing re-trafficking).

2. There still exists push-back and other informal return/repatriation of the victims

organized by the formal institutions even though the SOP has clear directives on human

rights-based process ensuring dignity and respect of the survivors.

3. The SOP and MoU have not given due emphasis on Bangladesh being a trafficking

destination of Indian citizens. There is a need of addressing this concern as a priority.

4. In the SOP and MoU, there are no clear directives on what would be the status of the

children in case of the children who are born at destination while the mother is being

trafficked.

5. There are some norms that have evolved over the period (such as the children below

the age of five are repatriated with the mother without any further due). However,

these are not taken into account by the SOP which has further complicated the

repatriation process. The experience of the actors with practical experience of

repatriation is now needed to be heard in reviewing the SOP.

6. The MoU identifies the commitments of the state parties to address all forms of human

trafficking- this needs to be incorporated in the SOP so that the coverage is expanded to

cover men along with women and children in relation to trafficking.

Implementation of SOP and Monitoring: 1. There is a need of strengthening the monitoring of SOP implementation process for

which the RRRI Taskforce needs to be strengthened. At the same time, there is a need of

organizing civil society monitoring. The NGOs across the borders need to strengthen

networking and carry out a shadow monitoring of the SOP which the SOP has already

assigned to the NGOs. The shadow monitoring can also be published as annual reports.

2. Apart from the responsibilities of monitoring of human rights of the survivors, the SOP

has assigned the NGOs with certain responsibilities of assisting the governments in

some specific areas of interventions (such as, training and awareness raising etc.) - there


is now a need of assessing the modalities and priorities in relation to these

responsibilities.

3. There is a need of an effective coordination in the multi-agency interventions and for

taking seedy decisions through RRRI Taskforce - the NGOs can facilitate the process of
