July 30 is globally recognised as the World Day Against Trafficking in Persons—a solemn reminder of the persistent and coordinated crime that robs individuals of their freedom and dignity. The 2025 theme, “Human Trafficking is Organised Crime – End the Exploitation,” highlights the structured and well-financed criminal networks that treat human lives as mere commodities.
Our Stand on Human Trafficking
At Genius Hub, we remain steadfast on the frontlines of this global fight, committed to breaking the cycle of exploitation and offering survivors a path to reintegration through dignity, empowerment, and opportunity. Our multifaceted approach—comprising advocacy, life skills education, vocational training, and non-clinical mental health and psychosocial support, reintegration etc—is intentionally designed to address the root causes of trafficking, particularly among youth, women, and vulnerable populations. These efforts align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 1, 4, 5, and 8, targeting poverty, limited access to education, gender inequality, and decent work.
In keeping with SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), Genius Hub has collaborated with key stakeholders such as NAPTIP, IOM, GIZ ZME, GIZ SEDIN, GIZ SKYE, ActionAid Nigeria, SOS Children’s Villages, the Edo State Migration Agency, NACTAL, Girls’ Power Initiative (GPI), and other civil society organisations. Through these partnerships, we have trained and empowered thousands of returned migrants and at-risk individuals across Nigeria. Our focus extends beyond rescue and rehabilitation—we champion prevention and empowerment, equipping individuals with market-relevant skills, fostering community awareness, and leveraging digital storytelling through our Ewaen Studios platform to elevate survivor voices and shift public perception.
As the international community calls for unified action against organised trafficking networks, Genius Hub joins in that call, urging policymakers, community leaders, and development partners to work together to dismantle systems of exploitation and build sustainable reintegration pathways for survivors.
Through our NOT FOR SALE campaign and #HerMigrationVoice programs, we continue to advocate for a future where every person is free from fear, exploitation, and injustice.
We remain committed to moving from awareness to action, and from rescue to lasting restoration.
