Chad is ramping up its fight against human trafficking, particularly affecting women and children, by strictly enforcing existing laws. A circular note has been distributed to security and judicial officials to reinforce the importance of this battle and outline necessary measures.

Human trafficking represents a severe violation of human rights, often involving sexual exploitation and forced labor. As a signatory to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime since 2009, Chad has enacted key legislation to combat this scourge, including Ordinance Nº006/PR/2018 and Law Nº12/PR/2018.

Authorities are now urged to conduct swift investigations, document cases thoroughly, and transfer all findings to the appropriate courts without delay. Each case must also be reported to the General Secretariat of the Ministry of Justice and the National Commission against Human Trafficking for rigorous follow-up.

Provincial delegates are tasked with ensuring these directives are strictly implemented. This coordinated effort aims to establish a national database, laying the groundwork for a robust anti-trafficking policy in Chad.
