• Trafficking in persons (TiP) is a severe crime that infringes on the rights of trafficked victims and is a crucial issue for development. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) address the root causes and underlying elements of trafficking, with a focus on Goals 5, 8, and 16. The implementation of the SDGs is crucial for combating trafficking. The study primarily examines the trafficking of women and girls as a type of abuse against them. This study intends to analyze methods to decrease trafficking in women and girls by utilizing the Sustainable Development Goals. The study is carried out using qualitative research approach. The major findings demonstrate how the SDGs are interconnected in reducing the trafficking of women and children, emphasizing the areas where Myanmar incorporates the SDGs in its strategic goals. It highlights the difficulties of coordinating national initiatives with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The study highlights the important role of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in combating the trafficking of women and girls as a form of violence against women. It also aims to conduct further research to help make real advancements in ending the trafficking of women and girls in Myanmar while promoting wider sustainable development goals. This study is important because it contributes to the discussion on sustainable development frameworks aimed at eradicating the trafficking of women and girls in Myanmar.
