Trafficking in human beings is a form of modern-day slavery, a global scourge where people are sold illegally for abuse and profit. Together, it produces more than $150 billion from forced economic exploitation for commercial sex, domestic work, or other economic activities. The Global Slavery Index estimated in July 2018 that there are 40.3 million survivors of modern day slavery around the world, 71% being women and 25% being children. Unfortunately, Edo state is one of the key sources of human trafficking in Nigeria.
