Functional setting
The school anti-Trafficking Education and Advocacy
Project (STEAP) aims to address the escalating
issue of human trafficking in Nigeria, particularly targeting school-age
children and young adults. Reflecting
on global trends, where education is increasingly recognized as a pivotal tool
in human trafficking prevention, STEAP seeks to strengthen awareness, enhance stakeholder
capacity, foster collaborations with Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and
help create a conducive environment for the prevention
of human trafficking amongst school age children in Nigeria. The initiative is a response to the disturbing
statistics indicating the high prevalence of trafficking among minors, especially in West Africa where over 75% of detected trafficking victims are children.
