SUMMARY
Edo State, and in particular Benin City, has gained notoriety for human trafficking, particularly for sexual exploitation also referred to as prostitution. As the world has experienced globalization, the trafficking of human beings for sex has taken yet another turn. Human traffickers, aware of the risks involved in the trafficking of human beings, have set up sophisticated channels and networks for the easy and undetected flow of trafficked persons. Irrespective of the interventions by international bodies, NGOs and national agencies to combat trafficking in Edo State, the region is still a hub for trafficking of women and children for sexual exploitation and full blown prostitution.1 Owing to this increase in sex trafficking and prostitution among women in Edo State, this study examines human trafficking in Edo State: a study of economic empowerment of female prostitution.
