What happened

The female victim was trafficked from Nigeria through Ghana to Italy, where she was forced to have sex with more than 25 men a day. If she resisted, her “madam” would beat her with a belt, starve her, and threaten to deport her. She would rotate through Turin, Rome, and Milan, enduring mental torture and physical abuse at each base. Anita’s traffickers raped her several times, and she underwent several crude abortions. The victim survived, but some of her friends died in the ordeal.

Nigeria NG

A five year old boy from Benin was seized as he walked home from school in his home town near the Nigerian border. He was blindfolded and shoved into a waiting car, then taken by various motorbikes and busses. Eventually he joined other children aged 5 to 15 at Abeokuta, forced to dig up granite every day for his master. Working 12 to 16 hours a day, he was paid the equivalent of 38 cents a week. All the children were malnourished. In all there were seven child slave camps discovered in the Nigerian states of Ogun, Oyo, and Osun. More information: http://gvnet.com/humantrafficking/Benin.htm
