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. Governments in Africa must focus on socio economic transformation to guarantee employment opportunities and reduction of poverty to discourage the illegal trades.
