An overview of human trafficking in Nigeria

According to the U.S. Department of State, Nigeria ranks as a Tier 2 country, meaning "the government of Nigeria does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking, but is making significant effort to do so." The country ranked Tier 1 from 2009 until 2011, meaning its government fully complied with the Trafficking Victims Protection Act's minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking.

The report said trafficked Nigerians are usually women and children from rural areas that are forced into labor and sex trafficking: women and girls for domestic servitude and sex trafficking, and boys for forced labor in street vending, domestic service, mining, stone quarries, agriculture and begging.

The report noted South Africa and Europe as the main destinations for Nigerian traffic victims.
Traffickers use threats of voodoo curses to control Nigerian victims and force them into prostitution or labor.
EUROPOL has identified Nigerian organized crime as one of the largest law enforcement challenges to European governments.

Media Report

Reporting about cases and in general the issue of human trafficking and exploitation is a substantial contribution in eliminating this crime. Your work also brings transparency in this issue. Furthermore, it helps to give affected person visibility and a voice. It motivates the general public and also policy makers to be active in the fight against human trafficking. We therefore welcome interested journalist and other media correspondents who take their time and efforts to carry out grounded and quality research as well as report their findings. Though speaking directly to people who have been one way or the other affected by human trafficking is part of quality reporting, we still have to respect confidentiality of the person in concern. Some persons relent the media and the press, others are happy about it and even actually feel empowered when given the opportunity to talk about their experiences themselves, instead of someone else or a social worker  talking on their behalf.
