A journey through hell
Telling the Real Story
Description
Young Nigerian women are being trafficked through Libya to reach Europe, where they will be used as prostitutes. In most cases they believe they have decent jobs waiting for them in Europe, which has been promised them by the trafficker agents in Nigeria. They are also fully unprepared for the horrors of the route through Libya, where they will witness unimaginable brutality and cruelty, be abused and raped and run the risk of being sold into sexual slavery in local brothels. 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).
