DPA has been working on human trafficking problems since the past one year. Our effort has led to the rescue of several victims and arrests and prosecutions of several Madams and traffickers.

The world is looking up to entities like DPA for help. We need to weigh in and give our best and get this problem tackled and save the lives of many young people who are victims of human trafficking.

Naturally, DPA starts with what it knows best – the power of ideas, the use of new ideas and intelligence to provide long term solutions to old problems.

DPA calls on all its members in the field of education. We need all the teachers and educationists in DPA to be prepared to join a new project known as “Operation Educate”.

Operation Educate requires DPA to develop a curriculum for primary and secondary schools in Nigeria, particularly in those states mostly affected by human trafficking. We need to work with the ministries of education in these states and possibly with the Federal Ministry of Education. The curriculum will contain information, lessons and instruction to prepare every young person from age 11 to age 18 on the dangers of human trafficking, how it happens, where it happens, how to tell that it is happening, how to report, and how to resist. We know that if these girls understand that they are going into sex slavery rather than the jobs they were promised, they would not go.

DPA believes it can significantly reduce human trafficking if every youngster between ages 11 and 18 has received 60 hour lessons / instruction on human trafficking.
