Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Human trafficking is a global crisis, with devastating social and economic consequences. In Gombe Local Government, Gombe State, vulnerable populations are targeted by traffickers exploiting weak awareness and socio-economic challenges. Print media, through investigative journalism, feature articles, and campaigns, plays a critical role in raising public awareness about the dangers of human trafficking and promoting preventive measures. By highlighting survivor stories, legal consequences for traffickers, and resources for victims, newspapers serve as a vital tool in combating this menace. This study explores how print media contributes to raising awareness and mobilizing communities against human trafficking in Gombe Local Government.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite efforts to combat human trafficking, awareness levels in Gombe remain inadequate due to a lack of focused information dissemination. Many communities remain unaware of trafficking tactics, legal protections, and available support systems. Print media has the potential to fill this gap but faces challenges such as limited reach, low literacy rates, and underdeveloped investigative capacities. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of print media in combating human trafficking awareness and identifying barriers to their success.
