Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Human trafficking remains a significant problem in Nigeria, with many individuals, particularly women and children, being exploited for forced labor, sexual exploitation, and other forms of abuse. In Jibia Local Government Area (LGA), Katsina State, human trafficking is a pressing issue, and raising awareness about its dangers is crucial for prevention. Radio, as a widely accessible medium, can play a key role in educating the public about the risks of human trafficking and the steps to take to prevent it. This study explores the role of radio in raising awareness about human trafficking in Jibia LGA.

Despite efforts to combat trafficking, many residents remain unaware of the signs and dangers of human trafficking. Radio programs could be an effective means of raising awareness and educating the community about the issue, but the extent of their impact in Jibia LGA is not well documented. This study seeks to assess the role of radio in raising awareness about human trafficking in Jibia LGA.
