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.
