| Summary: | The continuation and escalation of human trafficking has become a challenging
problem for the world community who tries to stem its flow. People move from one part to
another part of the world either lured by the booming economy elsewhere or to escape the
deterioration of life in their home country. This study is conducted to highlight factors
driving victims of human trafficking from Ethiopia via the eastern route of the country to
cross the borders. The study focuses on the situation of returnee victims of human
trafficking and partially household heads. Snow ball sampling techniques was employed
and 36 returnee victims participated. In addition 10 household heads of victims were
interviewed. The researchers employed simple statistics (frequency and percentage),
interpretation, and conceptual generalization to analyze data. The results showed that
unemployment, pressure from family and friends; false promises of better job opportunity,
contributed at varying degrees. On the basis of these findings, we recommend the
launching of an awareness raising campaign on trafficking dangers with the participation
of experienced former victims of trafficking together with organizing entrepreneurship
skills training for local people based on existing opportunities and resources in their areas. |
