80% Nigerian women, girls in Italy sex trafficking victims \u2014 VATICAN<\/strong><\/p>\n

A total of 80 percent of Nigerian women and girls, who arrive Italy, are sex trafficking victims, Vatican news agency, Agenzia Fides has said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHundreds of thousands of people fall victim to human trafficking every year in Africa alone,\u201d said Monsignor Ignatius Ayau Kaigama at an international conference against human trafficking organised by Christian Organisations Against Trafficking in Human Beings, COATNET, and Catholic Charity Caritas, Abuja.<\/p>\n

\u201dOf the overall number of victims, 79 percent are sexually exploited and the majority are women,\u201d said Kaigama, who is the Archbishop of Jos and President of the Nigerian Bishops Conference.<\/p>

He added: \u201cThe remaining 21 percent are coerced into forced labour, and the majority of these are men. \u201cIn some parts of West Africa, the majority of trafficking victims are children under 18. This conference must find a way to put an end to child labour in all its forms.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also called on the Federal Government \u201cto declare human trafficking a national disgrace, and to take urgent and long-lasting measures to address its root causes. \u201cThis, in light of recent reports that 80 percent of Nigerian girls that reach Italy, do so for reasons of sex trafficking.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
