Sub-Topic 1: CONSEQUENCES OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING

The following are the consequences of human trafficking

  1. PHYSICAL CONSEQUENCES
  • Children and women who are trafficked suffer many physical damages. For example, some travel long distances, sometime in difficult terrain like desert. Many die as a result of being physically exhausted on such journeys.
  • Children especially are subjected to physical hardship as they are used as house helpers, hawkers of goods on the roads and in the market.
  • Physical and sexual abuse of trafficking persons leads to psychological trauma and fear.
  • Victims stand the risk of having: HIV/AIDS/STI.
  1. PSYCHOLOGICAL CONSEQUENCES
  • The psychological effect led to retardation in the victims’ lives.
  • When children and women who are trafficked later realized the injustice and deprivation suffered as a result of being victims of human trafficking, they become depressed and ashamed of themselves and their resent past.
  • Since the trade is carried out in secret, those involved are afraid of making it public. They are afraid of law enforcement agencies.
  • The victim may end up becoming a deviant and constitute danger to society.
  1. SOCIAL CONSEQUENCES

(a)No matter the money made, especially by the women involved, they are usually not respected in the society.

The women may never get someone to come and ask for her hand in marriage.

  • The children involved may never have the opportunity to go to school.
  • These activities bring shame to the families of those involved.

 

Preventive Measures – Public enlightenment, Education,

Advocacy and Legislation.

There is no one size fits all solution to the problem of human trafficking. A comprehensive and coordinated approach is required that involves all sectors of society. Governments, civil society organizations, international organizations, and the private sector all have a role to play in the fight against human trafficking.

One of the most important roles is raising awareness about the issue and educating the public, especially potential victims, about the dangers of trafficking. It is important to raise awareness about the signs of trafficking and to provide information on how to get help if someone is in a trafficking situation.

Governments also have a responsibility to enact laws that criminalize all forms of trafficking and provide comprehensive protections for victims. These laws should be designed to punish traffickers and not victims.

International organizations can help by providing technical assistance and capacity building to governments and civil society organizations working on anti-trafficking initiatives. The private sector also has a role to play in the fight against trafficking. Businesses can help by ensuring that their supply chains are free of forced labor and by providing training and resources to employees so they can identify and report trafficking.

 

EVALUATION

  1. Mention 2 physical consequences of human trafficking.
  2. State 1 social consequence of human trafficking.
  3. Highlight 2 psychological consequences of human trafficking.

Sub-Topic 2: PREVENTIVE MEASURES TO HUMAN TRAFFICKING

The following are the preventive measures to human trafficking

  1. PUBLIC ENLIGHTENMENT: The people should be sensitized to the effects of trafficking and the need not to be deceived by the empty promises of the traffickers.
  2. EDUCATION: Quality education should be made available and affordable in our communities. This can be achieved by building more schools, employing qualified teachers and provision of adequate instructional materials.
  3. LEGAL SOLUTION: Government should ensure that there is legal framework that will recommend stiff measures and punishment for those who indulge in this social problem.
  4. LEGISLATION: Bills against human trafficking should be sponsored and passed into law in upper and lower legislative chambers.
  5. POVERTY REDUCTION: When the government ensures that the people are gainfully employed, poverty will reduce and issues of trafficking will no more be in our society.
  6. EQUIPPING LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES TO DO THEIR WORK WELL: Government should equip and strengthen the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons (NAPTIP) with the responsibilities of dealing with human traffickers.
  7. EMPOWERMENT: The people should be empowered to be self-reliant by giving loans and other tools to establish themselves in their areas of specialization.
  8. COOPERATION WITH OTHER COUNTRIES ON HUMAN TRAFFICKING: Nigeria should seek cooperation with the rest of the world not to allow their territories to be used for human trafficking as it hurts our pride.
  9. RESOLUTION BY PARENTS AND WOMEN: Parents and women should, themselves, resolve to reject further trafficking in children and women.
