The trans-Atlantic slave trade had, for long, been abolished and yet many countries of the world are experiencing the resurgence of slavery that manifests in several different forms. Because the Nigerian situation presents some peculiarities, this research therefore uniquely explored two underexplored but growing trends: (1) Unlawful confinement of girls in ‘baby factories’ (illegal clinics and orphanages) and (2) the exploitation of girls and women by the Boko Haram terrorist group. These were expounded within the framework of radical feminist theory. Although men are also victims, children and women have been the most at risk populations. As victims in the terrorist dens, girls and women suffer as economic-slaves, sex-slaves and suicide-mission-slaves. In the baby factories, they serve as economic-slaves, sex-slaves, procreation-slaves, and money-ritual-slaves. The choice of women in providing these services is a testament to the disproportionate economic and power relations (such as inequalities, poverty, social exclusion, exploitations, and obnoxious cultural practices) inherent in patriarchal societies. This was also explained within the contexts of women's vulnerability which intersects with national and human insecurity factors to further predict their never-ending victimisations and bondage. Thus, it was concluded that the two phenomena constitute aggression, violence and abuse largely targeted at children and women, with long-term traumatic effects on victims. The problem requires national and transnational security interventions to combat, involving inter-security agency and public-private partnership to scale up control measures and safeguard victims' rights.

尼日利亚的性别与现代奴隶制:对婴儿工厂和恐怖主义的批判性分析

长期以来,跨大西洋的奴隶贸易已被废除,然而世界上许多国家正在经历以几种不同形式表现出来的奴隶制复兴。由于尼日利亚的情况具有某些特殊性,因此本研究独特地探讨了两个尚未充分探索但仍在增长的趋势:(1)在“婴儿工厂”(非法诊所和孤儿院)中非法囚禁女孩;(2)博科对女孩和妇女的剥削圣地恐怖组织。这些都是在激进的女权主义理论的框架内阐述的。尽管男人也是受害者,但儿童和妇女却是最危险的人群。作为恐怖分子窝点的受害者,女孩和妇女遭受着经济奴隶,性奴隶和自杀任务奴隶的苦难。在婴儿工厂中,他们充当经济奴隶,性奴隶,生育奴隶,和金钱礼仪的奴隶。妇女在提供这些服务方面的选择证明了父权制社会固有的不成比例的经济和权力关系(例如不平等,贫困,社会排斥,剥削和令人讨厌的文化习俗)。在妇女易受伤害的情况下也作了解释,妇女易受伤害的情况与国家和人的不安全因素相交,以进一步预测其无休止的受害和束缚。因此,得出的结论是,这两种现象构成侵略,暴力和虐待,主要针对儿童和妇女,对受害者造成了长期的创伤。这个问题需要国家和跨国安全干预措施进行打击,涉及安全部门间机构和公私伙伴关系,以扩大控制措施并维护受害者的权利。
