Stories of human trafficking survivors have reached headlines also in Finland in recent
years. In restaurant business, abuse of employees has been reported, and stories about
asylum seekers who have been victims of human trafficking have appeared in Finnish news.
Hope for work and better income unite most human trafficking victims. Hope for a better
future drives especially young people to end up victims of human trafficking.
Civil society organisations are doing very important work to prevent human trafficking.
CSOs also assist the returning victims in the countries these young women and men have
started.
Financing for development has a significant role in supporting organisations and fight
against human trafficking. With sufficient funding, it is possible to create opportunities
for education and income generating activities, and enhance gender equality – thus
affecting the root causes of human trafficking.
Join us in the discussion about the work of Nigerian civil society organisations and the
role of development financing in prevention of human trafficking.
Invited speakers in the event are:
* FinnWID´s Nigerian partner organization Ida Renaissance project coordinator Roland
Nwoha
* Toisenlaisia Tarinoita-campaign activist, former victim of human trafficking, Itohan
Okundaye.
* Nina Tenhio, Development Policy Adviser from Fingo ry (national platform of Finnish
Development NGO´s)
The event is part of FinnWID’s campaign Other kind of stories. The aim of the campaign is
to raise awareness of human trafficking. The campaign is funded by European Union through
project Frame, Voice, Report!
