Human trafficking is a horrifying form of organised crime that violates victim’s human rights. Despite international and domestic efforts, the threat is not abating. People are bought and sold, forced to work in the black market or sex industry, and frequently face threats and violence. It is one of the most heinous crimes in the modern world. The criminal justice system, which consists of the police, courts, and prisons, work in synergy to handle the social repercussions of crimes with the goal of preserving peoples’ right to safety and the exercise of their human rights. There is no disputing that courts’ interpretation of the law plays a critical role in safeguarding the rights of victims of human trafficking as well as deciding the guilt and punishment of traffickers. In order to reduce human trafficking in Nigeria, this study examines the crucial role of the judiciary. The paper posits that in addition to knowing the legislation, judges must also be aware of the context of each case involving human trafficking. The paper’s recommendations for strengthening judicial intervention against human trafficking are included in the conclusion.

“…This perspective has been facilitated by the massive investment in antitrafficking initatives by international agencies and donors since 2000. Donor aid provides the resources to pursue labor abuse cases as "trafficking cases," and international pressure to ratify the Trafficking Protocol and to demonstrate compliance with minimum standards outlined in the annual Trafficking in Persons Report prepared by the US State Department provides political motivation (Chuang 2006;McSherry and Cullen 2007). Countries that do not comply are subject to sanctions, including the termination of nonhumanitarian aid and non trade-related assistance and US opposition to assistance from international financial institutions (Ould 2004: 61).…”

This chapter delves into the challenges encountered by victims of human trafficking and other forms of labour exploitation in Sweden as they struggle to access social rights and justice. By drawing from theories of victimisation as an interactional process, the study examines the role of professionals such as government agents, social services, unions, and NGOs as facilitators in assisting victims in gaining access to social rights and justice. The chapter underscores how access to justice and social rights is intricately intertwined with the victim identification process, the migration regime, and the gendered nature of assistance programmes. The limited access to social rights for victims may be attributed to the principles of inclusion and exclusion associated with the welfare state and the logic of the migration regime.
