Victims of this crime have completely lost
their freedom and dignity under compulsion. Statistics revealed that human trafficking, in the form of forced labor, generates $150 billion every year and about 30 million people are trapped in such human
slavery out of which 14.2 million have exploited for forced labor, and 4.5 million have undergone sexual exploitation. In response to the issue, states of concern throughout the world have adopted possible
measures to combat it at a national level in line with global initiatives. In this process, both Bangladesh and Malaysia legislated anti-trafficking law to combat the crime. This paper is mainly a comparative analysis of
human trafficking laws between Bangladesh and Malaysia. The researchers have compared the laws of both countries on several issues and identified similarities and differences in terms of defining the crimes, enforcement mechanism, protection of the victims, and trial of the offenders etc. In addition, the study has investigated the situation of this crime in the South Asian region highlighting the context of Bangladesh and Malaysia. Furthermore, the study has brought some recommendations for further enhancement of both instruments. The possible outcome of this study is finding certain gaps in both laws which are requiring to be fulfilled for combating human trafficking effectively. This is a doctrinal research along with comparative approaches. The researchers have followed the descriptive and analytical method of study to achieve the objectives of the paper. The study has critically examined the essential legal issues in both
laws according to the international standards. However, the descriptive approach has considered the background and conceptual framework of human trafficking along with the current situation of both countries. The analytical approach, on the other hand, explored the basic mechanism provided by the anti trafficking laws of the countries with a view to ascertain the lacuna of both laws. Furthermore, the researchers reviewed relevant literature in this regard and a few relevant experts have been interviewed over the technical matters of these laws.
