The government of Chad is ramping up its anti-trafficking efforts, particularly to shield women and children from exploitation. A recent circular has been dispatched to security and justice officials, underscoring the urgency of this fight and outlining clear enforcement measures.

Human trafficking remains a severe violation of human rights, frequently involving coercion into sex work and forced labor. As a signatory to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime since 2009, Chad has enacted robust legislation, including Ordinance No. 006/PR/2018 and Law No. 12/PR/2018, to combat this scourge.

Authorities are now expected to expedite investigations, document cases meticulously, and ensure all files are promptly forwarded to relevant courts. Trafficking cases must also be reported to the General Secretariat of the Ministry of Justice and the National Anti-Human Trafficking Commission for rigorous follow-up.

Provincial delegates have been tasked with enforcing these directives without delay. This coordinated push aims to establish a comprehensive national database, laying the groundwork for a more effective anti-trafficking strategy in Chad.
