ABSTRACT
Human trafficking is the worst form of human rights violation. It is also a gender based violence against females who constitutes the majority of the victims in the country. Human trafficking is a new name for the old practice of slavery. Whether the consent of the individuals to be trafficked is sought or not, the fact that they are exploited makes human trafficking to be morally wrong. The prevalence of human trafficking in the Nigerian society raises a lot of philosophical questions begging for answers. The scourge of human trafficking is indeed a global problem that has extensive and diverse dimensions. From the deception of the individuals to be trafficked, to the inhuman treatments they are subjected to in foreign lands such as forced labor, exploitation and so on; and even up to the laundering of the proceeds realized from this illicit trade, they all present issues that beg for a moral, rational and critical evaluation. This project argues that human trafficking is a failure to heed the Kantian call that all humans should be seen as belonging to a kingdom of ends- we should never treat humans as means to any end.
