In West Africa, Nigerians have been at the center of a flourishing trade in prostitutes who are sent to Europe, especially Italy, and the Middle East. Trace this trafficking process, including organized crime involvement

What will be an ideal response?


Friends and family often paly a role in recruiting Nigerian girls into sex trafficking. They are typically told they will have a job in Europe agriculture or in a hotel, but instead they are trafficked into prostitution, usually street prostitution. The girls are then trapped in debt bondage where they are charged exorbitant fees for their travel expenses, and forced to prostitute to repay the expenses. Organized crime is involved in several ways: obtaining fraudulent documents, smuggling the girls, bribing immigration officials, and placing the girls in the prostitution network.
