Country: Nigeria

Innovation: When the female sex is Educated, they say, a Nation has been educated. Thus, when Governments world over try as much as possible to ensure education for all citizens, not only will these citizens know thier rights as to rejecting offers from traffickers when they come. But, they will also have access to better employment opportunities and thus have good financial stands. Since we all know that traffickers and their victims all engage in this bad act mostly to make ends meet, then, it will make sense to agree that having access to good jobs and the consequent financial freedom will discourage both traffickers and their victims and the potential ones from the act.

Impact: Adequately educating citizens will totally change their orientation, i.e Their view about life will be changed from the "get rich at all costs, by all means" or the "get rich or die trying" attitudes. They will be able to see that there are many far better means through which they can make ends meet. Also, they (the victims) will be educated concerning their fundamental human rights which is against this idea, so they will be able to reject when offer are made to them.

Tipping Point: Apparently, with concrete evidences from past examples, take for instance Mrs Olufunmilayo Ransome Kuti, we will agree that when a woman is educated, it is very logical that her children too will be (as obvious from the Mrs Kuti example). So, when alot of people are thus educated, it is not likely that bad acts that occur from pressing towards financial freedom (such as trafficking) will happen. In Nigeria the problem being faced by the Government is the full implementation of the Universal Basic Education (UBE). However, recent developments such as move made at the National conference which seeks that parents who refuse to educate their children should serve jail terms, shows that there is light at the end of the tunnel for the UBE.

Replication: This activity can be easily replicated when we try to inculcate some skills into people (especially females), we see their tendency towards trying to transfer what they've learnt to others.

Sustainability: It is very logical that when you educate someone and that persson tries to transfer that education to others, then that kind of education is already self-sustainable.
