Abstract

Trafficking in human beings is a global scourge, with traffickers and syndicates in a complex and insidious network. Concerted global efforts to contend with this challenge have yielded minimal results. This study is on the nature and management of human trafficking in Edo State, considered as the hub of human trafficking in Nigeria. A study of the historical background, conceptual clarifications, and overviews help to place the Edo phenomenon in context. It shows that the Edo experience is neither inherent in Edo culture, nor is the trade peculiar to its people, but a national scourge that continues to exacerbate in the face of growing societal inadequacies: unemployment, political instability, greed and gross class differentials. It goes further to show that there are far-reaching institutional policy interventions and enlightenment, even by traditional institutions, aimed at curtailing the scourge as well as rehabilitating and reintegrating victims of human trafficking. The study has benefited from observations and interactive sessions with victims of human trafficking and the full complement of primary materials from government and non-governmental organisations (ngos). This chapter also contains recommendations to reduce the magnitude of the problem.
