On October 23, 2018, I addressed a stakeholders meeting, the Academy of Nations ,
in Munich in Germany . This meeting brought
together representatives of the police and the regional government, social
workers, religious organisations, and other governmental and nongovernmental
agencies. They discussed the issue of human trafficking and forced prostitution
in the region. Some of the victims were Nigerian women. I made a ten-minute
speech that included a short video.
And here is what I said:
Thank you Georg Falterbaum and Mattarei Norma
for the invitation to address this important meeting on human trafficking. And
thank you, the Bavarian government for the commitment to tackling the problem
of human trafficking and forced prostitution. Trafficking in human beings has
been described as a form of modern-day slavery in our contemporary world. So,
it is important to use occasions such as this to have an open and frank
discussion on this issue and to explore ways of eradicating it.
