2012 NBLSA C.A.R.E.S Nigeria Report

Summary This year the National Black Law Students Association (NBLSA) was proud to expand the NBLSA C.A.R.E.S. (Contributing through Advocacy, Resources, Education, and Service) program to Nigeria. Four students from different law schools across the country traveled to Abuja, Nigeria to bring awareness to human trafficking, NBLSA’s 2011-2012 National Issue. The four Nigeria delegates worked in partnership with the Women Trafficking and Child Labor Eradication Foundation (WOTCLEF) and assisted with their efforts to eradicate human trafficking through rehabilitation and reintegration methods. The delegates also worked with the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficked Persons (NAPTIP), the federal agency that addresses the legal aspect of human trafficking in Nigeria. The delegates were chosen through a highly selective application process. While in Nigeria the students were also able to attend enriching site visits that taught them about the inner workings of Nigerian civil society. This report is compromised of a) background information about NBLSA C.A.R.E.S.; b) a synopsis of WOTCLEF and NAPTIP; c) short biographies of the participants; d) the students’ perceptions after visiting Nigeria; e) a summary of the site visits; and f) action items for NBLSA and the international community to help Nigeria continue to combat human trafficking.
