Abstract:
Human trafficking has many connotations. In this study, a broad human rights dimension was adopted in defining trafficking, and this definition was used in selecting samples of females for this study. Trafficking is defined thus as ‘’the use of force, deception or coercion’’ in denoting the offence of trafficking. Females in both external and internal trafficking were used. It is expected that the study will pressure the government and other stakeholders to work towards preventing the abuse of human rights violations associated with trafficking.
