INTRODUCTION :
CHILD TRAFFICKING IN DELTA STATE:
The research focuses on child trafficking , a type of human trafficking, its causes,effects , and
solutions. Child trafficking is a global issue caused by socio-economic challenges as well as
demand for the exploitative use of Children.
What is Child Trafficking?

Child Trafficking is the transportation,
transfer, harbouring or receipt of children , by means of deceit or use of force or other forms of
coercion, abduction,or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of
a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation, forced labour, street
hawking, domestic servitude etc.
In Nigeria, children make up the largest group of trafficking victims, of the people trafficked in
Nigeria, the highest proportion are girls between the ages of 12-17. Almost 1.4 million individuals
were living in modern slavery as of 2018. Poverty is a major factor in child trafficking . It cannot be
denied that poverty,unemployment, frustrations and poor quality of life has made parents who
would otherwise, have been most loving, to neglect and even some times, abuse their children.
Some families are living from hand to mouth as a result of insufficient income to cater for their
families. They are out of job or business either as a result of retirement or insufficiency of the
income to settle the children school fees, rents and feeding. That is a perfect situation of parents
and children to fall victim
of bogus promises of a good time abroad.
The major causes of child trafficking are classified into two namely; demands for child and adult
labour, sexual exploitation. The problems associated with child trafficking in Nigeria include
educational deprivation, physical, psychological, behavioural and health problems.
Recruiters are most likely to approach the poor and vulnerable and the illiterate families. Child
trafficking is more likely to occur in a family
that is large and poor, when the family cannot afford the basic necessities of life, either as a result
of poverty or unemployment the children will asked to engage in some form of work such as
hawking, begging, domestic servant.
In Nigeria, there are millions of children who are vulnerable to trafficking and have no access
to education If one is educated he will understand the nature of any event or occurrence. In most
countries including Nigeria where child trafficking is rife, illiteracy is a common cause of child
trafficking. Statistics have also shown that fewer school age children are enrolled into
school, and most of them will drop out of school before the completion of the primary grade.
level of illiteracy among the rural dwellers in Nigeria, family planning is not adopted hence people
reproduce children recklessly without planning for their education and general
welfare, the end result being having more children than they can support hence the willingness to
give out their children to trafficking agents.
It is obvious that child trafficking would not have been on the raise if there exist no increase
demand for it. Traffickers are kept in the business of child trafficking because there is high demand
for it in the state and the country at large.

loss of one’s childhood, depression , poor education due to lack of schooling.

and its associated consequences.
CHAPTER II
2.1 REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE KNOWLEDGE AND PRACTICE

This research is based on information’s gotten from the internet, the library, and studio
experience and findings from the art studio. The conceptual framework of this research is based
on written projects, research and artworks that has been produced before in similar topics and
projects.
Focusing on this, this review will begin with the work of Amos Ojo Adedeji
In his work emphasis was made on the factors which encourages and abets child trafficking and
they are the “Push and Pull” factor. The push factor, which compels victims to flee their homes in
search of better chances and peer pressure, and the pull element, which lures minors to
locations with more modern lifestyles, have been identified as two major parameters that
encourages child trafficking. The work explains that notwithstanding the laws such as the Childs
Rights Act (2003), Trafficking in Persons (Prohibition) law enforcement and
Administration Act (2003), etc. child trafficking still persists against the face of law. The
implications of this is that they are perhaps not active in
clamping down on traffickers and they (traffickers) take full advantage of such complacency. The
writer further establishes the indices for the continued flourishing of this illegality and they are:
illiteracy, poverty, war and conflict, weak legal system, high profit, globalization, lack of adequate
information and family factor. The work further explains the cross purposes of child trafficking
particularly in Nigeria and it consist of; sexual exploitation, forced labour, recruitment of child
soldiers, forced marriage, organ harvesting and illicit adoption with the effect of not only physical
and psychological injuries to the victim but damages to the society at large (Amos OjoAdedeji “The
Social-Economic Impact of Child Trafficking On Human Security in Nigeria”International
Journal of Advanced Multidisciplinary Scientific Research (2022) Vol 5, Issue 1.)
The concept of child trafficking can be traced to the period of slavery and
the reason for this is the transportation of persons to another locality without their consent on the
basis of servitude (LINUS AKOR, 2016).
it is on record that more dramatic change in the character and complexity of

slavery came in the late 15-century and mid-19th century when many Africans were shipped
across the Atlantic as slaves in what later became known as the trans- Atlantic slave trade
(Lipede, A. 2007).
Trafficking of children for exploitative purposes in Nigeria is of two dimensions:
internal and external. Internally, children are procured as domestic workers, while external
trafficking provides unsuspecting young girls for prostitution etc.
A pull factor to the child trafficking is the low risk that is involved in the process, especially when
compared with other crimes which contain high level of risk,
by its nature, child trafficking is secret and dangerous, which helps explain the inadequacy of
reliable information.
Victims of trafficking are normally lured by the traffickers right
within their families and villages (which often provided the
funds for the journeys they anticipated and take the child to a job that could help support the
family), and because of the
stigma of prostitution, Fear and mistrust of police, the lack of
documentation and fear
keeps the victim silent.United
Nation policy paper (2006) No. 14.2)
There are also cases that are

illiterate, from marginalized populations and are ignorant of their rights. Traffickers exploit not only
bodies but the deepest
anxieties and disadvantageous life conditions of the victims.
This and many other factors made child trafficking with low
risk as the whole business is conducted in secrecy and victims
of child trafficking compound the issue by being unwilling to
provide useful information about their traffickers.
Trafficking encompasses the recruitment, transportation

transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by means of threat or
use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud,
of deception, of the abuse of power of position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of
payments or
benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of
exploitation. At a
minimum, exploitation implies the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced
labour or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal
of organs.
This means that for an act to constitute trafficking,
the following three elements must cohabit.
1. The Act (What is done)Recruitment, transportation,
transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons
2. The Means (How it is done) Threat or use of force, coercion, abduction, fraud, deception, abuse
of power or vulnerability, or giving payments or benefits to a person in control of the victim.
3. The Purpose (Why it is done) For the purpose of exploitation, which includes exploiting the
prostitution of others, sexual exploitation, forced labour, slavery or
similar practices and the removal of ones organs for sale.
