The Republic of Tajikistan has ratified all key ILO Conventions aimed at combating trafficking in persons, such as ILO Convention on Forced Labor (#29), Convention on Abolishment of Forced Labor (#105), ILO Convention on the worst forms of child labor (#182), ILO Convention on migrant workers (#97) and Convention on migrant workers (#143). Tajikistan is also Party to the UN Palermo Protocol to prevent, suppress and punish trafficking in human beings, especially women and children. The Government of Tajikistan is making significant efforts to comply with these internationally binding standards; however, there are still gaps in national legislation. The number of prosecuted cases and convicted traffickers is very low.
