The Integration of Female Nigerian Survivors of Human Trafficking for the Purpose of Sexual Exploitation : Handbook for Practitioners

Kurzfassung/Abstract

This handbook gives Nigerian SoT as well as experts a voice, as they raised recommendations based on their experience, giving ideas on how to offer tailored assistance to the specific needs of each individual SoT. Although this handbook focuses on the case study of Nigerian SoT, the best practices can be used in conjunction with already existing integration programmes. This handbook showcases tools of how to offer a culturally-sensitive (including spirituallysensitive) and gender-specific intersectional
approach for the integration of Nigerian SoT in a victim-centred manner. The purpose of this handbook is, therefore, threefold:

To serve

As a practical guide to improve practitioners’ (in particular social workers’) skills in supporting the integration of Nigerian SOT.

As a resource for governmental, non- as well as inter-governmental organisations to adapt and support existing or conceptualise new, more effective psycho-social integration programmes.

As a tool for other readers interested in the project findings – such as people working as volunteers, from academia or the general public – to foster their knowledge on the topic of human trafficking and a gender-specific, culturally- sensitive and victim-centred intersectional approach to integration.
