Factors Responsible for Children and Women Trafficking - JSS2 Social studies Lesson Note

Human trafficking is a complex issue with deep-rooted causes, necessitating collaborative efforts at local, national, and international levels to combat and prevent this grave violation of human rights.

False Hope of Education Abroad:

Deceptive promises of better education opportunities abroad can lure vulnerable individuals into trafficking schemes, as they seek improved prospects but end up falling victim to exploitation.

 

Poverty:

Economic desperation is a significant factor, pushing people into trafficking. Those living in poverty may become easy targets for traffickers who exploit their vulnerability and offer false opportunities for a better life.

 

Increase in Demand for Foreign Workers:

The growing demand for cheap labor in various industries worldwide creates opportunities for traffickers to exploit individuals seeking employment. The promise of work abroad can lead to exploitation and forced labor.

 

Growth in Sex and Entertainment Industry Abroad:

The expansion of the sex and entertainment industry globally contributes to the trafficking of women and children for sexual exploitation. High demand for such services creates a market where victims are exploited for profit.
