    The Price of Pleasure

    According to the International Labour Organisation (ILO), human trafficking is one of the biggest illicit trades in the world, as traffickers make an estimated $150 billion in profits yearly as of 2014. Hundreds of women fall prey to sex traffickers every year, as they are usually lured by false promises of a better life. In this episode, HumAngle spoke with sex workers across brothels in Nigeria's South West who share with us the realities of their job.

    Aid On The Fringes Of Death

    In North West Nigeria, where more than a decade-old crisis has claimed the lives of about 20,000 people and displaced no fewer than 600,000 more from their homes, the provision of humanitarian aid often comes with an irreparable price. Sometimes, death or, if you’re lucky, abduction. In the middle of that dire strait, aid workers have continued to chisel a small window, defying the many odds stacked against them. They continue to provide what little support they can in the wake of a global decline in humanitarian funding. In this episode, HumAngle spoke with aid workers from Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) about what it means to work in the region and how they are overcoming the many challenges.

    Britain’s Farewell Bullets

    On February 13, 1958, hundreds of women from different communities in Epie, a kingdom in southern Nigeria, trooped out in a protest that had lasted many days. Some of them who were nursing mothers had their babies tied to their backs. Some were pregnant. They demanded free education and spoke against the proposed policy to tax women. But the British colonial authorities responded with force. Security agents opened fire on the protesters. Many of them were arrested. Villages were looted and burnt. People became displaced. Some lost their lives. But stories of this incident have barely been documented. They are passed from generation to generation by word of mouth. The victims of the savagery from the colonial forces have been reluctant to share their experiences. However, 65 years later, HumAngle is able to piece together what happened based on interviews with multiple eyewitnesses, families of victims, and others who have studied the events.
