<p>DFID supports victims of human trafficking in Africa through several programmes,
as part of the UK Government’s commitment to realising Sustainable Development Goal
8.7, the eradication of all forms of modern slavery, forced labour and human trafficking
by 2030. Current support totals over £30 million.</p><p> </p><p>In Nigeria, for example,
we are providing rehabilitation and reintegration support to almost 1,000 victims
of human trafficking and vulnerable migrants returned from Libya.</p><p> </p><p>In
Somalia, Sudan and Ethiopia we are providing protection and rehabilitation services
to more than 200,000 vulnerable children on the move, reducing their risk of exposure
to trafficking.</p><p> </p><p>And we are working to end the worst forms of child labour
in Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo and Ethiopia. This includes
children forcibly recruited during armed conflicts, sexually abused, or exploited
through other forms of forced labour or hazardous work. Over 24,000 of the most vulnerable
children will benefit directly and over 400,000 people are expected to benefit indirectly
through increased awareness and improvements in legal systems.</p>
