Here in Nigeria, kids are trafficked into Nigeria from Togo, a nearby country and many are as young as 5 to 12-years-old. You see them working in households and getting no education from schools. They are literary slaves while their parents are getting paid for their work. Others are forced to sell food, clothing and just about anything on the street like the kid above selling fufu.
I wanted to get this awareness out.
My HipHossip Music Foundation aims to end Child slavery, child trafficking and gun violence. I spoke to MTV Voices via twitter last week on elaborating this subject of child brides and also MTVExit on the slavery aspect of it should a girl be forced into marriage.
My causes have begun posting here at HipHossip.org and see how you can make a big difference in making the world a better place with music. On Facebook.com/HipHossipMusicFoundation and Twitter @HipHossip. Remember the hashtag #HHMF
