HUMAN TRAFFICKING (MODERN DAY SLAVERY) THE WAY FORWARD. PART 2

From our last discussion on this issue, we concluded that those in authority should try to provide the basics needs for their citizens which are :

- FOOD
- CLOTHING
- SHELTER and
- SECURITY was added by my humble self.

When talking about the solutions to human trafficking, most of us are quick to shift all the blame to those in authority. How ever, today we will be looking at the issue from another dimension. 
This is where every one of us, young and old, male and Female is affected.
We have to change OUR MIND SET about certain issues and have the RIGHT MIND SET. They are many but I will be talking on just one and that is SKILL ACQUISITION.

Many of us distaste learning skills because we have the mind that those that learn skills are, illiterate, not sharp and Second Class Citizens among other wrong notions. It becomes worst when you see parents and guardians asking their children :
IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT TO BECOME?
YOU CAN NEVER BECOME A MECHANIC OVER MY DEAD BODY or the likes even if the child has shown beyond doubt that that is his talent. We are not discouraging basic Education in any way because it helps to be more confident and proficient in what ever trade or skills we are into.
What we are suggesting is that we, including parents should encourage skill acquisition along side basic Education as a way of curbing the high unemployment rate which often lead to emigration and human trafficking.
Recent studies have shown that in few years time, those with skills will be more likely to be employed and live better than those with only certificate. They say desperate times, requires desperate measures and surviver of the fittest, only the strong survive. By the above, we mean it is high time we changed our mind set from focusing only on acquiring certificate, but we should include skill acquisition as part of our survival strategies no matter our Educational level.
It's interesting to note that such skills can be put to good use anywhere in the world we find ourselves. Instead of begging to be employed, we can be employers of labor.
When we have skills, we are more likely to look for ways to use such skills to solve some problems around us thus serving as a good source of income for us instead of giving up on our selves and the society thereby looking for greener pastures else where.
Parents and guidance should be quick to discover the TALENT AND ABILITIES of their children so as to help them develop such skills profitably to benefit them selves and others. There is no one SKILL OR PROFESSION that is a Guaranty for Wealth, it all depends on us and our circumstances. We have poor Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers, just as we have poor Mechanic, fashion Designers, shoe makers and Vice versa. So it does not depend on what we are doing, but on our attitude toward what we are doing.
In conclusion, let us have the right MIND SET and encourage skill acquisition as a survival strategy in this CRITICAL TIMES. DESPERATE TIMES, REQUIRE DESPERATE MEASURES.

HUMAN TRAFFICKING (MODERN DAY SLAVERY) THE WAY FORWARD. PART 1

A lot have been said about human trafficking, now we will be proferring solutions to this issues. This will be considered in piece meal to aid assimilation and implementation.
People of all works of life has identify the basic needs of man to be:

- Food
- Clothing
- Shelter. 

How ever, after a careful study, we at Living Evidence Foundation will be including Security as one of the basic needs of human for reasons i will be explaining later.
So with the above in mind, the basic needs of humans are

- Food
- Clothing
- Shelter and
- Security 

The importance of food, clothing and Shelter can never be over emphasized because without them, Living will be almost impossible. Also of great importance is SECURITY.
Without adequate Security we might not be a life to eat our food, wear our clothes and stay in our homes. 

Without adequate Security even when we are a life , we will not enjoy eating our food, wearing our clothes and staying in our homes. This can be seen in the cases of the internally displaced people (IDPs) we have in countries around the world including our country Nigeria. Most of these people in the camps are not there because they don't have homes to stay, they are there because they want the SECURITY OF THEIR LIVES AND PROPERTIES. 

This has lead to migration to other countries for Security thus exposing them to all manner of Inhuman treatments including slavery. Humans on it part can do anything to get Security, including agreeing to be trafficked not minding the CONSEQUENCES. 

To this end, if leaders in Africa take the provision of the basic needs of their citizens ie food, clothing, Shelter and Security to heart, and provide such for every citizen, then the high rate of human trafficking in Africa and around the world will be reduced. 

Why will people risk their Lives to go to Europe if they have all that is available in Europe in their country? Food for thought.
We should take this message to THOSE IT MAY CONCERN TO IMPLEMENT POLICIES THAT WILL MAKE THIS AVAILABLE FOR CITIZENS OF EVERY COUNTRY facing this problem. (LIVING EVIDENCE FOUNDATION) 





HUMAN TRAFFICKING (MODERN DAY SLAVERY)

When we hear the word slave trade, the first thoughts that comes to our minds, are the colonial era's of different countries around the world. It is interested to note that SLAVERY, is almost as old as humans. Cast your minds back to bible times, when people had slaves for many reasons and for some, as a measure of their Wealth. Slavery usually takes two forms, 

- Voluntary Slavery
- Involuntary Slavery. 

Regards of the form it takes, slavery is slavery, and should not be encourage in any way. One reason for this conclusion is that God made us as FREE MORAL AGENTS, with the ability to make DECISIONS independent of others, though he has the power to make us like ROBOTS and SLAVES. This gift of God should not be traded for anything on earth. 

Though there is currently no open market in the world where slaves are openly bought and sold, how ever, there is a modern form of slave trade that is be coming a big problem around the world especially in AFRICA. A recent discovery by CNN shows that our belove EDO STATE, is the head quarters of HUMAN TRAFFICKING in AFRICA, very SAD.
Several factors has been identified as the cause of this sad situation, one of it is HARSH GOVERNMENT POLICIES. 

Also identified as one of the solutions to this evil act is CHANGING OUR MINDSET. We must all work together to put an end to this societal Issues. YES, IT'S POSSIBLE.
