Abstract
This study was set to investigate the „Perception of University Students and Parents in Edo State
on Factors Influencing Women Trafficking: Implication for Curriculum Review‟. The researcher
employed the survey research method. The population of the study comprised of two
universities, 500 students and 500 parents. The simple random sampling technique was used to
select 100 students and 100 parents. The respondents were 100 students and 100 parents. A 30 –
item questionnaire was constructed and used in collecting the needed information from the
respondents. Mean score was used to answer the research questions and the chi – square (χ2) of
independence was used to test the corresponding hypotheses. The analysis of data collected for
the research led to the following findings (among others): that victims were subjected to oaths
and debt bondage; victims were mainly recruited by family members and acquaintances, and
travelled of their own free will, but claimed that they were deceived about the nature of their jobs
in Italy; most victims‟ parents are engaged in low-income occupation; most of the victims came
from autocratic family background; people have become more willing to engage in previously
condemned forms of sexuality because religious exercises now has less control on individuals;
customs and traditions forbid prostitution in Edo State but women still go in for it because of the
financial gains involved. Based on the findings, the researcher strongly recommended (among
others): that federal government policy on women trafficking must be depoliticized; there should
be an enabling law that would authorize the confistication of assets acquired from trafficking to
deter traffickers; Edo State Government should set up more skill acquisition centres where the
youth can acquire various occupational skills; government should set up effective rehabilitation
centres, identify some NGOs and draw up a programme for rehabilitation of victims after they
have left the rehabilitation centre; and the curriculum should be reviewed to reflect skill
acquisition.
