The Inosezilo Family Foundation (IFF), also known as Society for Awareness and Family Initiative (SAFI), has condemned the Edo State Migration Agency's (EDMA), raids on sex workers, calling for immediate accountability. These raids, which included parading suspects on social media, blatantly violate Nigeria's Supreme Court rulings, trample on human rights, and sabotage public health efforts. We demand IMMEDIATE accountability! Critical Violations Illegal Parading: Nigeria's Supreme Court ruled in IGP v. Omirhobo (2023 that parading suspects is unconstitutional (Sections 34 & 36, 1999 Constitution), yet the Edo State Agency on Migration (EDMA) publicly shamed sex workers; denying their dignity and presumption of innocence. ➡ Read the judgment- https://www.vanguardngr.com/2023/07/supreme-court-declares-parading-of-suspects-unconstitutional/ - Source: Vanguard News, "Supreme Court declares parading of suspects unconstitutional" (July 2023) - Health Sabotage: Edo State has Nigeria’s 3rd highest HIV prevalence (NACA, 2023). Raids disrupt access to HIV testing, condoms, and TB care, violating Nigeria’s National HIV/AIDS Policy and @UNAIDS guidelines. ➡ [NACA HIV Data](https://naca.gov.ng/nigeria-hiv-facts-figures/) Sex workers are frontline partners in HIV/TB prevention. Stigma from raids drives them underground, fueling epidemics. By 2025, Nigeria aims to end AIDS—this sabotage risks millions of lives.  Source: NACA, "Nigeria HIV Facts and Figures" (2023)  Gender-Based Violence (GBV): Public humiliation exposes sex workers to violence, extortion, and trauma, contravening Nigeria's VAPP Act (2015) and UN Women's call to protect marginalized women.  Source: VAPP Act (2015), SAIL Nigeria Gender-Based Violence (GBV): Public humiliation exposes sex workers to violence, extortion, and trauma. This contravenes Nigeria’s VAPP Act (2015) which Edo state domesticated and signed into law in 2021 and @UN_Women’s call to protect marginalized women. Demands  Immediate Release and Apology: Release detained sex workers and issue a public apology from EDMA.  Prosecution of Officials: Prosecute officials involved in the raids under the VAPP Act/Edo state VAPP Law and Supreme Court ruling.  Rights-Based Policies: Adopt policies for sex workers aligned with WHO and Amnesty Nigeria guidelines. International Solidarity Nigeria is signatory to international agreements, including CEDAW, ICCPR, and the UN Convention Against Torture. The global community is urged to hold Edo State EDMA accountable. Call to Action  Amplify the Issue: Share survivors' stories and use #rightsnotraids.  Joint Advocacy: Sign IFF/SAFI's petition to NHRC Nigeria demanding accountability.  Support Legal Aid: Support lawsuits against Edo State Agency for violating the Supreme Court ruling.  Engage Donors: Urge Global Fund and PEPFAR to condition HIV funding on ending raids. #rightsnotraids #decriminalizesexwork #endgbv #dignityforall #healthoverharm #endstateviolence #csosunite #neveragain #unaids #amnestynigeria #unwomen #cedaw #iccpr #uncat #nhrcnigeria #globalfund #pepfar #hiv #tb #humanrights #justiceforall #sexworkersrightsarehumanrights Sources:  Vanguard News, "Supreme Court declares parading of suspects unconstitutional" (July 2023)  NACA, "Nigeria HIV Facts and Figures" (2023)  VAPP Act (2015), SAIL Nigeria  UNAIDS Nigeria, "Country Factsheet" (2023)  Amnesty Nigeria, "Nigeria: Authorities must end raids and arrests of sex workers" (2023)
