INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
TO THE STUDY
Human trafficking is an ugly fact of our
society that is prevalent even today. Human trafficking is a world-wide problematic
issue. Over the years, it has metamorphose into frig teeming growth rate,
having reached its peak and without showing sign of reduction in parts of
Africa, Eastern, Europe, the Caribbean’s and Latin American countries. It is
crucial to note that the increase on the cases of human trafficking in Nigeria
is due to the undaunted efforts of the operators and profiteers of the business
who are quick to cite unprecedented poverty and the near absence of the basic
necessities of life as their driving force.
Human trafficking has brought poor
reputation in the state. our main economic problem is human trafficking., since
we began on the path of nationhood or society. The main obstacle for striding
bodily on this path has been the human trafficking problem because of
unemployment. As a result of this, there has been for the past few years steady
drift away of young men into other countries. This has the chain result of our
society being left under populated or underdeveloped.
Secondly, Nigeria has been bedeviled by
myriad of problem most of the problems can be attributed to the pervasiveness
of some of the ills that hamper the attainment of the development of the
society. As a result of ills that currently hampers the development of the
country, human trafficking has become widespread and now occupied a preeminent
position among the ills that pervade the Nigeria society. While, it may appear
that the problem seem endemic in Edo State especially Oredo Local Government,
there are indications that no parts of the country is immune from this social
malaise that has ravaged many communities. There are an estimated 80 million by
2015. The international labour organization (ILO) recently estimated that over
12 million Nigerian children especially in Edo State are engaged in child
labour. The survey also estimated that over 10, 000 Nigerian are engaged in
prostitution in Italy which constitutes in the Italian sex market. Most of
these women and girls are initially trafficked victims many people especially
women and children are lured with the promise of good jobs and salaries and
then sold into prostitution or bonded labour.
Human trafficking is considered to be
modern day slavery where many children and women are force fully or
fraudulently recruited, transported and harbored for sexual or labour
exploitation. The victims of human trafficking are usually made to provide sex
under threat and without consent. However, they are also used as labors to work
in field and fisheries, sweep shops or as domestic helps. Thirdly, human
trafficking is the fastest growing criminal industry in the world with the
total annual revenue for trafficking in persons, not less than two hundred and
fifty thousand persons, mostly female (i.e. 60% persons ranging from 12
years-18 years, while 40% persons above 18 years are trafficked across the
Nigerian borders yearly especially in Oredo, Edo State and other part of Edo
State. the business of trafficking in human beings is today organized by groups
that are also involved in weapons and narcotics colluding with government
officials in dozen countries. There is very little doubt that it is in curative
business and maybe one of the most difficult to combat. They are less visible
than those caused by gun running and trafficking. Exploiting the poverty and
low status of women in the developing world, middle men are able to bring
together the supply and demand for cheap labour and sex in ways that linkable
not long ago. Though, the fact of human trafficking is not difficult to
understand on its own, its dimension and categorization continue to multiply by
the day. The educational curriculum might have over sighted this problem,
therefore no room was created for this social ills the subjects that deals on
moral that is Christian religious knowledge and the Islamic religious knowledge
are gradually phasing out as teacher that staunched these courses are not being
employed by some employers social studies which exposes our children to the
vices and virtues in the society is only studied in the junior secondary
classes. So students cannot but cope with the make believe life of affluence,
flamboyances, greed which has made people especially the female trafficking a
huge success in our society.
Human trafficking is the illegal commerce
and trade of people. It is essentially the facet of slavery which relies on
direct purchase in contrast to the “natural increase” from enslaving the
children of slaves. The United Nations (UN) defines “trafficking in persons” as
the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboruring ort receipt of persons
by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion of abduction
of fraud of deceptions, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability
or of the giving or receiving of payments achieve the consent of a person,
having control over another person’s for the purpose of exploitation.
