A notable feature of the seminar was that the anti-trafficking message was not confined to speeches and discussion, but was also carried through music and cultural performance.
Students of the University of Dhaka, led by narrator Biswas Joy, performed Gambhira — a traditional form from the Rajshahi and Chapainawabganj region — to spread awareness against human trafficking. Artist S. M. Rakibul Hassan, a part-time teacher in the Department of Oriental Art and a member of the Trust, then gave a flute performance that symbolically conveyed the plight of trafficking survivors.
This part of the program was especially significant for the Trust, as it showed that art and culture can serve as an effective advocacy tool for building public awareness of social problems.
