HELP FOR NIGERIANS TRAFFICKED FOR SEXUAL EXPLOITATION
Sex trafficking is a form of modern-day slavery in which individuals perform commercial sex through the use of force, fraud, or coercion.
The Nigerian sex trafficking network is vast and complex. Frequently victims are targeted by friends of friends and even their own family who then use false promises, violence, threats, lies, debt bondage, juju or other forms of control and manipulation to keep victims involved in the sex industry.
Sex trafficking exists worldwide within diverse and unique sets of venues and businesses including fake massage businesses, escort services, residential brothels, in public on streets, hostess clubs, international hotels and elsewhere.
The Hope Education Project in Ghana was borne out of our experience repatriating Nigerian women who are the victims of sex trafficking in the UAE. Our close involvement with rescuing, repatriating and supporting these victims motivated us to work on preventing this tragedy at the source. Our work was the subject of a major investigation by the International Coalition of Investigative Journalists in 2023 whose report was syndicated by Reuters.
