The Maldives is committed to eliminate the menace of human trafficking in the Maldives. The Maldives ratified its first legislations criminalizing trafficking in persons in 2013. The Government is working closely with international partners such as the International Organisation for Migration to implement policies and measures as well as in providing adequate trainings and awareness campaigns on the issue of trafficking. It is with this commitment that the Parliament accelerated in passing the Protocol to prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children from Parliament in April this year. The Government is hopeful to complete the process of acceding to the Protocol in due course.
