Tayo Olanipekun With Agency Reports<\/p>\n

UN Special Rapporteur, Maria Grazia Giammarinaro, will assess the issue of trafficking in persons in Nigeria during an official visit to the country from 3-10 September.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy visit is an opportunity to meet with relevant stakeholders to discuss various forms and manifestations of trafficking in persons and key human rights concerns and challenges, as well as progress made, in addressing trafficking in persons for the purpose of sexual, labour or any other form of exploitation,\u201d Ms Giammarinaro said.<\/p>\n

\u201cParticular attention will be paid to key issues and challenges in the implementation of international and legal frameworks on trafficking in persons, especially women and children. During the visit, we will also examine measures taken or to be taken in terms of prevention of trafficking in persons, identification and protection of victims, prosecution and punishment of perpetrators as well as access to justice and social inclusion for survivors.\u201d<\/p>
