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.
