- Summary
- The research describes the control system of the victim through the whole process centred on a strong psychological subjection, which, in many cases, is tied to traditional practices of woodoo, thereby confirming the analysis of the previous research. The report also analyzes the multiple forms of dependence which these young victims are dramatically subjected to. The research also focuses on the system of exploitation and on the diverse composition of criminal groups that manage trafficking from Nigeria, by tracing in broad terms the different actors involved and their roles. The strong prevail of females in this dreadful phenomenon is proven: from recruitment to exploitation, trafficking from Nigeria is confirmed as a "business of women", although men are involved in specific supporting roles of surveillance, courier services, or as controllers and boyfriends of the maman.
