WHY DO WE DO IT?
Africa has recorded the highest number of trafficking victims in the world today. A report given stated that approximately 71% of identified victims of trafficking are WOMEN and GIRLS, 25% of which are children. It is noteworthy that UNODC’s January 7,2019 Report now estimates the number of children in slavery at almost 1/3 of all global victims. 63% of identified traffickers were men and 37 women and 43% of victims are trafficked domestically within national borders. (The United Nations Office for Drugs and Crime (UNODC)).
NAPTIP report the average age a child is trafficked in Nigeria, recently downgraded to a Tier 2 Watch country on the U.S State Department’s Trafficking in Persons Report(2020), is 15. The practice of child trafficking places the victim at extreme risk of physical danger, sexual abuse and exploitation, psychological trauma, depression, sexually transmitted diseases and death.
Now trafficked girls are unjustly made dependent on their trafficker, stripped of every right to access medical and financial support on their on. Unfortunately, even if they break free from a trafficker, they are often pulled back into this world since they do not have another means to sustain themselves or survive. This inspires our commitment to implement policies, programs and projects that help protect survivors of trafficking and educate and empower at-risk girls learn how to be self-dependent through rehabilitation, skill training and education.
