Human trafficking by Nigerian crime gangs is one of the biggest challenges facing Britain’s anti-slavery Commissioner who expressed frustration at seeing the numbers of Nigerian women likely to be lured in few cases, and many others willing to consent to sex slavery, explode in the past two years.

Kevin Hyland, who was appointed Britain’s first Independent Anti-Slavery Commissioner in 2014 as part of the widely lauded Modern Slavery Act, said a failure of authorities to work together to end trafficking has let criminal groups flourish in their trade.

Hyland said Britain’s ground breaking legislation may have caused a legal and cultural sea change against modern slavery but more needed to be done, both in the UK and internationally.
He said there has been an eight-fold increase in the number of women arriving from Nigeria into Italy between 2014 and 2016.

<b><i><blockquote>“Of the 11,000 Nigerian women recorded arriving in Sicily in 2016 it is estimated about 80 percent (8,000) showed signs of being trafficked, he said, with witchcraft or “juju” spells often used to bind girls to their traffickers who use them as sex slaves”.</blockquote>

Hyland said the issue needed to be tackled upstream before victims reached Europe. “Why are we just waiting until the victims arrive here, until they’ve been exploited?”
Hyland told the Thomson Reuters Foundation in an interview to mark the second anniversary of the Modern Slavery Act. “We need to be a little bit more ambitious and stop it happening in the first place.”

Campaigners have hailed the Modern Slavery Act, which came into force on March 26, 2015, as a milestone in the struggle against a crime which affects as many as 46 million people worldwide, with up to 13,000 victims in Britain.

The act, seen as setting a global precedent, combines harsh penalties for traffickers with better protection for people at risk, and requires companies to disclose what they are doing to ensure their supply chains are slavery-free.
