With pro bono support from TIP, Mrs. T was discharged from charges of child trafficking and set free from Kirikiri Female Correctional Center after over two years of incarceration.
Mrs. T, a young mother of two children, was charged at the High court of Lagos state for child trafficking, a capital offence. TIP took up her representation during one of its visits to the Female Correctional Center and entered her defence in 2021, representing her until the charges were discharged. She has been united to her two young children.
TIP is committed to its mandate of diligently protecting and promoting the rights of women and girls in incarceration through our pro bono legal services.
