Abstract
Human trafficking is a global issue that most countries have battled to control. It is exploitative, abusive, and violates human rights. Generally, it is seen as modern-day slavery. Despite several measures by different countries to combat trafficking, it continues to spread. Although men, women, and children are all vulnerable to trafficking, women and girls are more trafficked due to gendered intersectional factors that place them in vulnerable conditions. This chapter draws on academic work that explored a group of young women's lived experiences of trafficking at a border town in Nigeria. Using a feminist lens and working within a qualitative framework, in-depth interviews were conducted with young women who survived human trafficking. A qualitative thematic analysis was employed for data analysis. The authors draw on these young women's voices to explore how gendered intersectional factors create and perpetuate vulnerability to trafficking. The chapter also argues for the necessity to empower women as a protective measure against trafficking and for social justice.
