Child Abuse and Human Trafficking in Nigeria

There are traditional child rearing practices which adversely affect some children, such as purposeful neglect or abandonment of severely handicapped children, and twins or triplets in some rural areas. With the alteration of society by rapid socioeconomic and political changes, various forms of child abuse have been identified, particularly in the urban areas. Trafficking in human beings, especially women and girls, is never a new thing. Historically, it has taken many forms, but in the context of globalization, it has acquired shocking new dimensions. Primarily women and girls, including boys are also trafficked for purposes of Sexual exploitation, forced labor and organ harvesting. Poverty is the principle driving force behind both child abuse and human trafficking in Nigeria propelling vulnerable people into the hands of traffickers, with extensive criminal networks around the world.
