Analysis Of What Nigerian Prostitutes Go Through In Italy

 

From Dailymail, these Nigerian Ladies Nigerian are being trafficked to Italy hoping for a better life but mostly end up working as prostitutes.

Their plight has however been highlighted by Paris-based photographer Elena Perlino, originally from Italy, who began to study the presence of young African women working on the streets during her commutes from Turin. According to Elena Perlino ‘I decided to start from this surreal vision to tell a story. I have been working on the topic for several years, focusing mainly on the Italian connection.’

According to the new report, Eighty per cent of women trafficked to Italy are from Benin City, Edo State, in south Nigeria. It is also shocking to note that the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime declared Nigeria among the top eight countries with the highest human trafficking rates in the world.

The new report made it known that these unsuspecting young girls in a search for greener pasture get tricked by some big aunties who are in the business of human trafficking talk to them with the hope of  traveling to foreign countries to do honest jobs like cleaners and so on but get disappointed immediately they get there. When they arrive there knowing that they have massive debts to pay off and are expected to pay back the traveling fees the ‘aunt’ (traffickers) spent their trip.
Traffickers demand an average more than 50,000 euros (US $60,000) for travel expenses and accommodation, with the women having to work as prostitutes until their debts are paid off. ‘They are forced into prostitution and are now increasingly reinventing themselves as madams or working for the traffickers, also trafficking men, children for adoptions and organs and drug dealing.
