This paper examines the changing status of Bini women occasioned by the upsurge and
endemic nature of the phenomenon of trafficking of women for the purpose of transactional sex.
It engaged ethnographic methods of data collection with the use of family based interviews,
focus group discussions using vignette stories, life histories, and key informant interviewing.
Data were analyzed based on emerged themes. Findings revealed that "successful” trafficked
Bini women enjoyed high socio-economic status in their families of procreation especially where
family members were the direct recipients of the proceeds from transactional sex.
