    About this ebook

    The Sombre Years brings out genuine feelings of the writer about the importance of protecting human dignity. Pemii Ben demonstrates in this informative piece that we all must be aware of the worth of women as human beings and pivotal part of the society.

    This is a call to traffickers that human lives are too precious to be put up for sale. Several years after engaging in slave trading, Nigerians have yet continued to engage in it in various forms. This is an aberration. Right to dignity is a must for every human; this includes women, and should never be negotiated.

    The Sombre Years is a public sensitization tool that denigrating women is evil in its entirety. The book exposes the horrors of trafficking, degrading women and the dire need to kick against it. It seeks the restoration of sanctity to human life.
