INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
TO THE STUDY
Child trafficking is an ugly fact of our society that is prevalent even today.
Child 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 child 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.
Child trafficking has brought poor reputation in the state. our main economic
problem is child trafficking., since we began on the path of nationhood or
society. The main obstacle for striding bodily on this path has been the child
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, child 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.
Child 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 child 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, child 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 child 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 child 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.
Child trafficking is the illegal commerce and trade of people. It is
essentially the facet of slavery which relies on direct purchase in contrast to
the “natural increase” from enslaving the children of slaves. The United
Nations (UN) defines “trafficking in persons” as the recruitment,
transportation, transfer, harboruring ort receipt of persons by means of the
threat or use of force or other forms of coercion of abduction of fraud of
deceptions, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the
giving or receiving of payments achieve the consent of a person, having control
over another person’s for the purpose of exploitation.
