AIT (1) In general terms, women and girls in Nigeria do not face a real risk of serious harm from human traffickers, but the risk is heightened for females under 40 years of age living in suburban areas with a poor level of education. However, where it can be shown that an individual does face a real risk of being forced or coerced into prostitution by traffickers, the issue of whether she will be able to access effective protection from the authorities will need to be carefully considered in the light of background evidence.
(2) There is in general no real risk of a trafficking victim being re-trafficked on return to Nigeria unless it is established that those responsible for the victim’s initial trafficking formed part of a gang whose members were to share in the victim’s earnings or a proportion of the victim’s target earnings in circumstances where the victim fails to earn those target earnings. It is essential that the circumstances surrounding the victim’s initial trafficking are carefully examined.
