answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2018 answer text <p>We work closely with the Government of Bangladesh on these critical issues. The Secretary of State discussed these issues and met with female migrant workers when she visited Bangladesh in November 2017. Bangladesh was among the first group of countries to endorse the Call to Action to End Forced Labour, Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking at the UN General Assembly last year. We support Bangladesh to provide greater access to justice for survivors of abuse and trafficking, for instance through an online complaints system and legal advice. In addition, in December we announced a £13m funding package for the second phase of the Work in Freedom programme which will continue to tackle the issues across south Asia and the Middle East. DFID is also funding the Promoting Knowledge for Accountable Systems Programme, which works closely with civil society and the Government in Bangladesh to make systemic improvements that facilitate safer migration.</p> answering member constituency North East Bedfordshire answering member printed Alistair Burt grouped question UIN 143145 question first answered 16/05/2018 15:00:33 answering member 1201 label Biography information for Alistair Burt
