Many countries have little or no effective anti-trafficking legislation and no legislation to protect and to support the victims and families or to prosecute the perpetrators.
Data collection is an important tool for monitoring country and regional trends and its analysis is often used to shape anti-trafficking policies.
The government, however, remains unable to effectively implement all of the protection, prevention, and prosecution components of its anti-trafficking law given its lack of resources.
The government continued to display anti-trafficking brochures and posters in multiple languages at border checkpoints, hospitals, and popular public gathering areas.
It conducted anti-trafficking education campaigns and workshops to prevent trafficking during the reporting period.
The government also has sponsored anti-trafficking workshops with participants from the region.
To improve their capacity and technical skills, the government trained law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and judges on anti-trafficking investigation and prosecution techniques.
The government did not formally monitor its anti-trafficking efforts and continued to lack an anti-trafficking national action plan.
