 In the meantime, a non-governmental organization, NGO in Edo State, South South Nigeria, has embarked on roadworks across the city center to create awareness on protection of human trafficking victims to mark the world against trafficking in persons in Edo State. The national agency for the prohibition of trafficking in persons, NAPTIP, IOM, UNHCR, and other sister agencies were on the road shows to educate women and girls on the use of force, fraud, or cohesion to obtain some forms of labor or the purpose of forced labor and sexual slavery. Speaking to a reporter, Friday at Pomegeru, the Zulu director of NAPTIP, Chidi Berry Ifood, noted that today is a day set aside by the United Nations to create awareness against human trafficking and child labor as NAPTIP has rescued 14,688 victims of human trafficking between July 2003 and December 2019. All over the world, awareness is being created against human trafficking and we have them back on our own road work today. The whole world is watching and people will no longer be deceived, especially the youth among us. As you can see, the people that participated in this road work, it will show that at the end of it all what we are doing will bear fruit. It's giving credence to the voices of survivors, it's giving credence to the voices of victims that despite the trauma they have encountered, they still have a role to play in the fight against human trafficking and also the government has more role to play in terms of the eradication of human trafficking by creating support systems within the structure for survivors when they return. Victims' voices lead the way. IOM believes that the voices of traffic victims is a very strong force and one of the things that we have done as the level of IOM, we have supported government, we supported NAPTIP, we supported a those day tax force. Just last year we launched a legal hub. That legal hub is made up of different actors, actors from MBA, FIDA, actors from NAPTIP tax force and a whole lot of others, immigration service. The essence of that hub is that victims of trafficking can go there and get pro bono services in terms of either civil matters or criminal matters. We've partnered with the those day tax force against human trafficking to organize different symposiums, different town hall meetings, schools, outreach, and lots more.
