Entrapped by Voodoo
Telling the Real Story
Description
The traffickers and brothel Madams who prey on young vulnerable women in Nigeria are using black magic (juju) as a powerful tool to force them into prostitution in Europe. The women must take an oath that they will pay back the expenses for the journey to Europe, otherwise the spell will kill them or make them go mad. Having arrived in Europe, the young women realise they have been brought there to work as prostitutes, but they do not dare to escape because they are afraid of the magic spell. 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 Telling the Real Story campaign also aims at providing information on complementary pathways as alternative and regular opportunities to irregular movement (i.e. scholarships, family reunification, labour mobility).
