Of these, 250 were from Benin, 67 from Togo, 12 from Ghana, 4 from Cameroon, and 3 from Congo. The children were sold as domestic servants and prostitutes for Nigerian brothels.

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.
