THEME: COMMITTED TO THE CAUSE- WORKING ON THE FRONTLINE TO END HUMAN TRAFFICKING
The United Nations defines human trafficking as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of persons by improper means (such as force, abduction, fraud, or coercion) for an improper purpose including forced labor or sexual exploitation.
RESPONDING TO THE TRAFFICKING OF CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE
UNODC’S Theme for this Year’s World Day Against Trafficking in Persons
Although the magnitude of the problem of trafficking in persons and smuggling of migrants in Nigeria is underscored by the lack of empirical statistical data, there is however abundant evidence that thousands of Nigerian women and millions of children are being trafficked externally across Borders and within the country.
It has come to our notice that reporters are reporting or negatively captioning the experiences that survivors of human trafficking share either at meetings or in public places.
The Board of Trustees and Directors of Women Consortium of Nigeria (WOCON) condemn this act and declare that it is totally inconsiderate and underserving of survivors who have already and previously undergone emotional torture and painful experiences in the hands of wicked men.
