LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Salma Ali , Executive Director, BNWLA

From:Bangladesh National Women Lawyers' Association (BNWLA) This refers to the article titled "Combating trafficking in women and children" by Salma Ali, Executive Director-BNWLA, that appeared in The Daily Star on Friday, September 30 on page 15. Unfortunately, we had done unintentional mistake of not quoting reference in this article. This will be very much helpful, if you could kindly publish the following statement as reference of that published article: "A few paragraphs of the article titled "Combating trafficking in women and children" published on 30 September 2011 have been quoted from the regional study titled "Review of the SAARC Convention on Preventing and Combating Trafficking of Women and Children for Prostitution and the Current Status of Implementation" by IOM and funded by ADB, October 2009." This citation was inadvertently omitted and the error is deeply regretted. Your cooperation in this regard will be highly appreciable. Look forward to your continuous cooperation.
