An 18-year-old Nigerian lady identified
only as Victoria, who was allegedly lured
into prostitution in Italy, has narrated
her ordeal in the hands of her
traffickers. Victoria recounted how her

prostitutes.

Quote
“They promised me an education. They
promised me if I came with them I could
go to school and get a good job.italy
“I had no choice, I had no choice, I had to
pay him… I was like a prisoner,” Victoria
emphasized, adding that, “I was forced
into prostitution: making money for
trafficker to pay off my endless debt to
him.
“I’m thankful for the shelter and place of
safety provided to us, but just a few
weeks ago I arrived in Italy by boat via
the regular route of thousands of Nigerian
women.
“My 2,500 mile journey became an epic of
exploitation and abuse. By the time we
got to Libya, I had been beaten and forced
into prostitution: making money for my
trafficker to pay off my now endless debt
to him,”
the victim added.
