According to the statement, the experts are the UN Special Rapporteurs on Sale of Children, Maud de Boer-Buquicchio, on Slavery, Urmila Boola, and on Right to Health, Dainus Pūras.
“In that regard, we look forward to engaging with all parties and put our expertise at their disposal,” they said.
The three independent experts were mandated by the UN Human Rights Council to promote comprehensive strategies to prevent and protect the rights of women and children who were subjected to heinous forms of exploitation amounting to sale and slavery.
"During their five-day visit, the experts would gather information on the various initiatives adopted by governmental, international and non-governmental actors to support these women and children to cope with immense suffering, trauma and stigma.
"They would also assess measures taken or intended to be taken to ensure the possible return of the victims to “normality,” the statement said.
At the end of their visit, the experts would share with the media, their preliminary observations and recommendations at a news conference at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja, on January 22.
