Child domestic work is one of the issues often connected with human trafficking in popular discourses. The idea of ignorant and unsuspecting parents and children being tricked into situations of trafficking for domestic labour is rife and has driven education and awareness campaigns as keys to addressing trafficking. This paper offers a critique of awareness creation as an anti-trafficking strategy. Based on an ethnographic study of child domestic work in South-West Nigeria and an analysis of secondary sources, this article reviews the ignorance assumption in trafficking discourses. It contends that the existing strategy of awareness creation, often framed to discourage migration and work, misrepresents young domestic workers and/or their parents and fails to address the issues that children and/or their parents are faced with. The paper concludes by arguing for the need to address the structural root causes of trafficking rather than simply raise awareness of individual migrants.

“通过砍伐树木而不是将其连根拔起杀死树木?” 重新思考提高认识运动,以应对尼日利亚西南部的人口贩运

儿童家务劳动是与流行话语中的人口贩运经常相关的问题之一。愚昧无知的父母和孩子被诱骗进入贩运家庭佣工的情况泛滥,并推动了教育和宣传运动,作为解决贩运问题的关键。本文对将意识创造作为一种打击人口贩运的策略提出了批评。基于对尼日利亚西南部儿童家庭工作的人种学研究和对二手资料的分析,本文回顾了贩运话语中的无知假设。它认为,现有的提高认识战略通常旨在阻止移民和工作,但误导了年轻的家庭佣工和/或其父母,并且未能解决儿童和/或其父母所面临的问题。
