Meet Esther Ekanem-Our Anti-Human Trafficking Ambassador

Esther has over the years been commissioned by the ECOWAS Commission to produce documentaries on the proliferation of small arms and light weapons in West Africa, human trafficking in West Africa, insight into ECOWAS Commission and a 10th anniversary documentary for the ECOWAS court of Justice.

With this production, Ms. Ekanem produced a 3 part series, travelling to Italy, Benin Republic and within Nigeria, to help create a better platform for the victims and families to tell their stories.
Ms Ekanem is an ardent anti-human trafficking advocate and activist; supporting and assisting victims to fulfill personal goals, partnering with charities and groups providing services for victims of human trafficking as well as mentor to young women and youths.
