IOM Rescues 4,800 Nigerian Migrants in Seven Years: Human Trafficking Statistics

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has assisted 4,877 Nigerian victims of human trafficking to return home voluntarily since 2017.

Nearly 88% of the returnees were women and girls, with economic instability cited as the primary reason for migration.

The report highlights Libya as a significant transit and exploitation point, with victims often subjected to forced labor and sexual exploitation.

The IOM continues efforts to combat trafficking and support reintegration programs for returning migrants.
