About 200 motorcycle mounted youths carrying clourful banner reading anti-trafficking slogans brought out the procession which crossed Satkhira Sadar, Debhala, Kaligoing and Shyamnagar upazilas to create awareness among people.

Hundreds of curious people lined up on both sides as the processionists crossed the roads with banners reading slogans like 'we are against trafficking', 'we will resist traffickers'.

It was jointly organised by the Bangladesh chapter of Action Against Trafficking and Sexual Harassment of Children (ATSEC), an international NGO and local NGOs Coastal Development Network (CDN) and Agragati Sangstha.

The procession started from the office premises of Agragati Sangstha in the town. It passed through Parulia, Kulia, Debhata, Bhomra, Kadamtala, Noor Nagar, Rotonpur, Shyamnagar, Banshipur, Bhetkhali, Nazimgonj, Alipur, Gazipur, Nalta and Moutala.

They stopped and held two wayside rallies at Noor Nagar and Banshipur villages in Shyamnagar upazila, which drew crowds in large numbers.

The speakers emphasized the need for creating mass awareness to check trafficking.

They also distributed leaflets calling upon people to resist trafficking.
