UNODC Calls for Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Crime Prevention Strategies in Nigeria
The UNODC is urging Nigeria to include Persons with Disabilities (PwDs) in crime prevention and security strategies to strengthen responses to transnational crimes. During a stakeholder dialogue in Abuja, the Deputy Representative emphasized the importance of disability inclusion in policy design and implementation.
Nigeria faces risks from drug trafficking, human trafficking, cybercrime, and other illicit activities, with 87% of PwDs in Nigeria living in multidimensional poverty. The call for inclusivity aims to combat exploitation and victimization of vulnerable individuals.
