Thousands of women are lured from Nigeria to Italy each year on the promise of a prosperous new life, only to find themselves trapped in the sex trade
For nearly three decades, a thriving sex-trafficking industry has been operating between Nigeria and Italy. Many experts believe the trade in women started in the 1980s when Nigerians travelling to Italy on work visas to pick tomatoes realised that selling sex was far easier and more profitable than harvesting fruits or vegetables.

A woman called Michelle Mildwater covered this on Al Jazeera some time ago
As well as debt bondage, the trafficking rings force the girls to take voodoo
