The brutal reality of Nigerian girls: trafficking for sexual exploitation

Trafficking in human beings has ancient origins, dating back millenniums before the Roman Empire. Although it is considered a totally inhuman practice to our day, it still persists, and it has intensified especially in the area of ​​prostitution. According to the Financial Times, in 2015, this deal covered 21 million people worldwide, of which 4.5 were targeted for sexual exploitation. Most of the victims are Nigerian women who, for various reasons, flee their country to an utopian search for ‘European life’, promised by traffickers. Once they arrive, however, that much-desired dream is shifted into a slavish life, forced to prostitute to settle the debt previously contracted to arrive in Europe.
