Background and Rationale:
Human trafficking, or modern-day slavery, involves the illegal trade of people via force, fraud or coercion for exploitation or commercial gain. It occurs in every country in the world, cutting across social class, gender and age. It violates human rights, while simultaneously presenting a global health concern. Over the last 20 years, there has been growing concern over the phenomenon of modern-day slavery and considerable media attention has been directed towards amplifying the issue to ensure that it receives the urgent attention it deserves. Similarly, source, destination and transit countries have also began to prioritize the issue by enacting the necessary legal and policy frameworks in an effort to decrease the scourge of trafficking that is occurring worldwide. On the part of source and transit countries such as Nigeria, however, the approaches to addressing human trafficking, particularly sex trafficking, have largely been limited to the development of laws and policies, often with impotent and ineffective law enforcement. Moreover, there is a wholesale shortage of reliable, measurable data based on qualitative and quantitative research that have been culturally translated to serve as a springboard from which effective and targeted interventions could be developed and/or framed.
