Sex slavery in Europe
Telling the Real Story
Description
Having survived the dangerous and often horrifying journey through Libya and across the Mediterranean, young Nigerian women arrive in Europe hoping for the good job they had been promised by the smugglers. They meet with a terrible disappointment. The jobs do not exist and the smugglers force them into prostitution to pay off the debt they have supposedly incurred. These unfortunate women find themselves in a situation alike to slavery. Telling the Real Story is an information campaign to raise awareness about the dangers involved in using the smuggling route, including through Libya. The campaign is targeting people in different countries who are planning to undertake this dangerous journey. The TRS campaign also aims at providing information on complementary pathways as alternative and regular opportunities to irregular movement (i.e. scholarships, family reunification, labor mobility).
