Observation

This was another popular question. The performance of most candidates who answered it was good as they really understand its demands. However, some candidates took ‘human trafficking’ in the (a) part to mean the same thing as ‘drug trafficking’ in the (a) part of question 5.  More so, some candidates deprived themselves of good marks in the (b) (ii) as they could not, in the main, identify the activities of WOTLCEF. The candidates were expected to provide the following answers to the question:

(a)       

1. Violation of the victim’s fundamental human rights.
2. Forced labour/child labour.
3. Maltreatment of the victim.
4. Risk of contracting diseases such as HIV/AIDS, STD, etc.
5. Social stigmatization.
6. Unwanted pregnancy.
7. Untimely death.
8. Illegal/forced migration.
9. Bad image to the country and its citizens.
10. Brain drain.
11. Denial of access to education.
