Human Trafficking

Trafficking is reportedly more common amongst women and girls/young females in Nigeria than men and boys. This may be attributed to the economic marginalisation of females that reduces employment opportunities and pushes them into exploitative forms of work, and general patterns of oppression which make it hard to resist abuse. The trafficking of girls and young females may also be linked to the common practice of using child domestic work as part of their ‘training’ to become good wives and mothers. GPI carries out prevention programmes, rehabilitation and reintegration of survivors to prevent trafficking of victims and re-trafficking of survivors.
