War Against Human Trafficking

Child trafficking has over the years been a thing of concern to countries especially in Nigeria, where alot of children both boys and girls are  taken from their protective environment and most times their country and preying on their vulnerability for the purpose of exploitation.

Estimates shows that over 980,000 - 1,225,000 children are been trafficked and are in a forced labour situation as a result of trafficking,  Though not all children are been trafficked as some migrates voluntarily with the mindset of going to get a better future which always has a sad story to tell as a result of the inhumane treatment and abuse they received.

The trafficking in children - internally in countries, across national borders and across continents - is closely interlinked with the demand for cheap malleable and docile labour in sectors and among employers where the working conditions and the treatment grossly violates the human rights of the children. These are characterized by environments that are unacceptable (the unconditional worst forms) as well as dangerous to the health and the development of the child (hazardous worst forms). These forms range from bonded labour, camel jockeying, child domestic labour, commercial sexual exploitation and prostitution, drug couriering, and child soldiering to exploitative or slavery- like practices in the informal industrial sector. 

We are therefore, calling on the  UN bodies, NGOs, Human rights agencies, governments and concerned individuals to rise up and fight against this child trafficking that has destroyed the destiny's of the young children both not just in Nigeria but the world at large.
