Tax Deductible Donations are Needed to Restore Human Rights

What is Trafficking?
Trafficking in human beings is the illegal trade of human beings, through abduction, the use or threat of force, deception, fraud or "sale" for the purposes of sexual exploitation or forced labor. (Definition based on the UN Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children)

How serious is the problem of human trafficking?
Each year it is estimated that nearly one million people-mostly women and children-are trafficked around the world. Approximately 14,500 - 17,500 people are trafficked to the United States each year, living in slavery like conditions of forced labor and sexual exploitation. (Source: U.S. State Department Trafficking in Persons 2004 Report).

Approximately 600,000 to 800,000 persons are estimated to be trafficked across international boundaries yearly. This figure does not represent the countless other people who are trafficked within a nation's borders.

Sadly, Nigeria is a source, a transit hub, and a destination country for trafficked women and children.

Nigerians have been trafficked to Europe, the Middle East, and other countries in Africa for the purposes of forced labor, domestic servitude, and sexual exploitation.

Her Excellency, Chief (Mrs.) Amina Titi Atiku Abubakar
Mrs. Atiku is the founder of the Women's Trafficking and Child Labor Eradication Foundation (WOTCLEF). The mission of this foundation is to bring the large number of Nigerian women trafficking in other countries, back home to Nigeria and educate them with marketable knowledge and skills. Also, Nigeria has a large number of children who work at early ages and do not go to school because high poverty levels force them to choose the search for money to attain better living levels.

Mrs. Titi Abubakar, founder of WOTCLEF, and many other anti-trafficking workers say their researches reveal that more than 80 per cent of trafficked girls never knew they would end up working as prostitutes in their destination countries. The carrot oft dangled at them is the lure of good money 'abroad' to be made from working as shop assistants, baby sitters, models, artists, farm helps, etc. The girls were usually transported to Europe by air. But as the trade gets exposed and immigration procedures got tighter, they resorted to journeying through a combination of land, air and water transport networks. Ndidi, another returnee, followed her trafficker from Benin to Onitsha and then to Calabar where they traveled on water for six hours to Cameroon.
