This article focuses on child trafficking in Nigeria, and therefore presents the nature, causes and consequences of the menace in Nigeria as well as the legal frame work that guarantees the right of the Nigerian Child against Human Trafficking.

Abstract Trafficking in humans, especially in minors and young women, for the purpose of sexual exploitation is a worldwide problem. It plagues the United States as much as it does the underdeveloped nations of the world. The International Labor organization — the United Nations (UN) agency charged with addressing labor standards, employment, and social protection issues and United Nations’ report of 2002, estimated that between 12 and 17 million people are held in human slavery - forced and bonded labor, forced child labor, sexual and involuntary servitude worldwide, figures more than any at any other time in world history (International Labor Organization, 2002; U.S Department of State, 2002). The study examined the relationship between social cultural factors such as age, tribe, family structure, sexual abuse, physical abuse and trafficking in humans for the purpose of prostitution in Nigeria. Utilizing the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), the statistical analysis of the secondary data of 60 records of victims of human trafficking for the purpose of prostitution selected from Women and Children Center in Nigeria was conducted. In the study, 80% of the participants in the sample reported that they had been sexually abused while 66.7% indicated that they have been physically abused. And the probability that victim of human trafficking would be sexually abused increases by 201% (Odds Ratio: 2.010) Keywords: Human Trafficking, Prostitution, Juvenile, Nigeria, sexual and physical abuse, Family structure

Abstract Human trafficking is an increasing global problem that has existed for ages in the forms of slavery. Children, women and girls are trafficked in several parts of Nigeria for various purposes such as forced labour, rituals and prostitutions. The focus of this paper is on the trafficking of Nigerians within and outside of the country and the efforts of NAPTIP to stop the practice. This paper concludes that only collective efforts from the Nigerian government, the international community and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) can this inhuman trade be stopped.

International and local policies/legislations exist on Child Trafficking. However, it remains a serious public health concern in many parts of the world particularly in developing countries like Nigeria. This paper explores the problem in Nigeria and proffers appropriate solution. It involves illegal recruitment and movement of children for the purpose of exploitation. Different factors predispose to trafficking in the country, mainly due to social, political or economic reasons. Of recent, the phenomenon of Baby factory becomes very common in some parts of the country, leading to young girls mobilized into the trafficking cycle and giving birth to children for sale in black markets. Trafficking occurs either locally within the country or internationally through various routes, across all the geopolitical zones of Nigeria. Various health implications associated with trafficking exist, these include physical, mental or sexual consequences, hence, the article outline existing legislations, barriers and ways of controlling the menace.

ABSTRACT The phenomenon of the trafficking of human beings, especially children into exploitative sexual and commercial labour as a result of their vulnerability, has begun to attract both national and international attention from the mass media, world leaders, academics, advocacy groups, the clergy and humanity in general. This is against the back drop of the fact that the trafficking of children has a number of far-reaching socio-economic, health and political negative consequences. Several factors, among them poverty, unemployment, ignorance and family size have been implicated as being reasons why women fall easy preys to the antics of traffickers. From available statistics, it can be said that the Nigerian female child is often trafficked within and outside the country for sexual exploitation while the male children are often trafficked for domestic servitude thereby depriving the children of basic primary education. Fighting the menace requires coordinated and concerted efforts from all stakeholders. This paper presents the nature, causes and consequences of the trafficking of the Nigerian Child as well as the laws that guarantee the right against trafficking of the Nigerian Child. Empirical evidence indicates that the activities of traffickers, corrupt embassy officials, the country’s porous borders, poverty, refusal of victims to expose traffickers, delay in prosecuting apprehended culprits, youth unemployment among others have synthesized to undermine the combat against the menace. The study makes far-reaching recommendations about how to mitigate the identified obstacles and practically fight the menace with the instrument of available legal frame works

Human trafficking has generated serious attention in the last two decades worldwide. This is not unconnected to the fact that it has become a global menace. Several international, regional and national treaties and conventions have been adopted to end this inhuman trade. Nigeria has been identified as a source, transit and destination country for human trafficking. This paper examines the causes of human trafficking in Nigeria and its implications on national development. It also examines the international, regional and global responses to human trafficking. The study recommends that the government should empower Nigerian women as a way of reducing their vulnerability to this trade. The government should build capacities and also make sufficient budgetary allocation to the agencies that are involved in apprehending human traffickers and those that are responsible for the rehabilitation of their victims
