Inauguration of Board of Volunteers

Press Release by Muhammed Aasia (Project Manager)

Human trafficking is currently the fastest growing crime in the world. Our country Nigeria has been named by the United Nations office on drugs and crimes (UNODC) among the top eight countries involved in human trafficking in the world. At the lunch of the UNODC report on human trafficking, the Executive Director, UNODC said that “many Governments are still in denial and there is even neglect when it comes to either reporting on or prosecuting cases of human trafficking”.

 In order to help raise awareness on this crime, the Academy for Prevention of Human Trafficking and Other Related Matters (a subsidiary of DEVATOP centre for Africa development) partnered with National Agency for Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, Fight against Child Trafficking, and Dorothy Njemanze Foundation in 2015 to organize an anti human trafficking advocacy course where over 68 advocates from different organizations were trained.

To further its action towards elimination of this heinous crime, the Academy has organized a volunteers’ symposium, so you can be a part of this fight for humanity.

Press Release on Board of Volunteers

More than 700, 000 people in Nigeria are victims of human trafficking overtime.

50, 000, 000+ women, girls, boys and youth in Nigeria are vulnerable to human trafficking.

It is our responsibility to combat human trafficking

Dr. Reuben Bulka said “If we don't stand up for this and these atrocities continue to happen, we can't justify ourselves, and we can't explain to our kids how we were silent when this thing happened.”

Devatop Centre for Africa Development through her anti-human trafficking academy (The Academy for Prevention of Human Trafficking and other matters) is in the forefront of preventing human trafficking. There is an urgent need for passionate people to join to build a world without human trafficking and prevent millions of women, girls, boys and children from being trafficked.

We are specially requesting passionate and creative Nigerians to join our Board of Volunteers as we combat human trafficking.
