Pressure from family and friends is the main social condition that contributes to human trafficking in Ethiopia. In societies where migration to host countries becomes a culture, pushing and motivating girls to go to those countries is becoming a common practice for many family members in our country. According to the interviewees of this study, this type of pressure from families is making many individuals vulnerable to trafficking. According to participants who informed the perception of this study, families who send their children to host countries are accorded a high social status in the community. Say no to plagiarism.

What they do is tell their children stories of successes and good deeds of other children in their neighbors. Rarely, however, are there parents who directly tell their children to go to host countries such as the Middle East or European countries. Allow me to share with you the experience of a 25-year-old migrant woman who returned to Setit Humera. This participant was born and raised in Kafta Humera Wereda Tabia Maykadra, still in her migration abroad. Until now his parents lived in Tabia Maykadra Wereda Kafta Humera. Since his return from migration he currently lives in the city of Humera. Then, his compelling story of the migration situation is presented as follows: My family always torments me, every night and day, in every situation where we gather to eat or talk to each other.

I had no choice but to go abroad. The girl's experience above indicates that parents want to send their children with the intention that the children will give them money back. The result corresponds to other previous studies: “in some cases, parents tell their children to migrate”. This was also proven true by FGD testimonies with parents of participating victims. In a focus group conducted in the city, one woman highlighted the importance of family pressure in the migration decision-making process. His story, word for word, continued like this: The problem isn't just young people. He is also with us, with the parents. First, let's talk about other children's good deeds in front of our children. This puts them under pressure because.
