Under the Project on “Enhancing Cooperation to Fight Trafficking in Human Beings from Nigeria to Europe” backstopped by the International Labour Organization (ILO), this workshop aims to build capacities of some 60 Labour Officers and Inspectors to enable them identify cases of forced labour, trafficking and smuggling activities and be aware of appropriate actions to take.
The interactive workshop on “Trafficking for Forced Labour” aim at building capacities of Labour Officers and Inspectors to enable them identify cases of forced labour, trafficking and smuggling activities and be aware of appropriate actions to take. This would ultimately lead to improved good recruitment practices, means of disseminating labour market information about domestic employment opportunities, jobs available abroad, and ultimately reduction in incidences of forced labour, trafficking and smuggling in persons.
Each session will have about 25 participants drawn from the State offices of the Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity in Nigeria including resource persons from Federal Ministry of Labour and the ILO.The workshops would hold concurrently in three different locations (Northern region of Nigeria, South-East and South-West regions of the country).
The workshops will be held in a participatory approach with group discussions, plenary presentations and practical case studies.
The trainings will cover the following topics:
- Trafficking Forced Labour: Background and Overview
- The Trafficking Process: The case of recruitment
- The General policy response to Trafficking
- Specific Responses to trafficking: Improving Recruitment Process, Public Information and Law enforcement
The participants would be required to develop a set of standardized official questions on labour migration, forced labour, child labour and domestic servants to be asked during labour inspection visits. They would also be expected to suggest how to improve the relationship between the Ministry of Labour and Productivity and registered Private Recruitment Agencies on combating issues of traffic in persons, smuggling and forced labour.
EXPECTED OUTCOMES
- Participants would be more aware of the issues surrounding trafficking, forced labour, and job placement systems and the inter-relationships between them;
- Participants would know how to monitor recruitment of migrant workers in Nigeria;
- Participants would clearly understand the relationship between trafficking, smuggling in persons and forced labour;
- Participants would be properly informed about global and domestic policy responses to trafficking and forced labour.
