Equatorial Guinea is a source and destination country for women and children subjected to forced labor and sex trafficking. The majority of trafficking victims are believed to be exploited in Malabo and Bata, where burgeoning construction and economic activity funded by oil wealth has contributed to increases in the demand for cheap labor and prostitution. Children are transported from nearby countries—primarily Nigeria, Benin, Cameroon, Togo, and Gabon—and may be forced to work as domestic servants, market laborers, ambulant vendors, and launderers. Equatoguinean girls are engaged in the sex trade in Malabo and Bata, and reports indicate some parents may encourage their daughters to engage in prostitution, especially with foreigners, to receive groceries, gifts, housing, and money. Women from Cameroon, Benin, and other neighboring countries are recruited for work in Equatorial Guinea, but may be subsequently subjected to forced labor or forced prostitution. Some Chinese women migrate to Equatorial Guinea for work or to engage in prostitution and may be subject to passport confiscation. Sub-contractor staff in the oil services and construction sectors, including migrants from other parts of Africa, Asia, and the Americas, may be vulnerable to forced labor, as they reportedly endure sub-standard working conditions and, in some instances, may be subject to passport confiscation.

We are MAATHsters (Musicians & Artists Against Trafficking Humans); we are the voices of the Stolen People, who are exploited and oppressed. We want them to know we hear their silent cries, and that they are not alone. Our mission is to conjure up the passion and purposefulness for the anti-human trafficking movement, to provide a
stirring musical and artistic accompaniment in the campaign for abolishing Modern Day Slavery. Most of all, we aim to provide strength and hope to our Stolen People while spreading awareness throughout the world.  If you're interested in joining the movement contact Tempest at (stolen people.org)
