BBC pull out all the stops to highlight the trafficking Nigerian women to Dubai
We’ve had an amazing day thanks to the might of the BBC News team. James Ingham and Ben Moore of BBC South produced a great 7-minute piece on the campaign (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-berkshire-51559820/reading-family-helping-victims-of-nigerian-sex-trafficking). This has been shown on BBC News, headlined the BBC South news bulletin four times today (https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000fl9l/south-today-lunchtime-news-20022020) and is on the BBC digital and social channels. In addition, the piece is going to be translated into Nigerian Pidgin for the BBC Africa channel.
As if that wasn’t enough we had a great interview with the amazing Victoria Derbyshire on BBC 2 this morning. You can see the show here – drop in at 36 minutes. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000fjfv/victoria-derbyshire-20022020. Victoria is an incredible professional and not only put us at ease but gave us space to get our message across.
Thank you to everyone who joined us by donating to the campaign today! We are really grateful to you – if you feel like going one step further please share the campaign link https://stoptraffickingafrica.org on your social channels.
Tomorrow I am being interviewed by BBC Radio Berkshire at 7.00 am and later by the BBC African channel.
With your help, we can repatriate these women trafficked for sex, reintegrate them at home and educate Nigerian girls, women and their parents.
