Abstract

Human trafficking is now the third most profitable illicit
business globally and largely conducted nocturnally with
attendant human security challenges. The challenges
motivated this study to examine the effects and assess the
regional efforts to curtail the trade. The study was descriptive
while data sources were largely from secondary materials
such as relevant books, journal, Internet source and
international convention and other legislations. The study
found that human trafficking occasioned inhuman treatment
of victims and various international conventions and national
legislations are still insufficient to redress the challenges due
to inadequate collaborative efforts among nations, lack of
accurate data base and corrupt practices by law enforcement
agencies across nations. The study concludes that high
poverty rate and unemployment in Africa contributed to the
trade while unified perspective internationally Africa is
required to make the legislations effective. The study
recommends further collaboration among governments and
exchange of security information, the establishment of
rehabilitation centers for the victims and strengthening of
legal regime in Africa to ensure stiffer penalty for agents of
human trafficking while governments in Africa must focus on
socio economic transformation to guarantee employment
opportunities and reduction of poverty to discourage the
illegal trades.
