Nigeria has one of sub-Saharan Africa's highest rates of human trafficking. But a network of Catholic sisters is coordinating anti-trafficking efforts to help survivors and prevent others from being victimized.
Nigerian sisters use WhatsApp to share knowledge about the coronavirus. As the virus spreads in Nigeria, they are educating the people in their ministries, including children in Enugu and trafficking survivors in Lagos, to take precautions.
