Nigerian
women are being trafficked to Italy under the pretence that they will be
working as nannies or in factories – but often end up working the
streets as prostitutes.
Their
plight has been highlighted by Paris-based photographer Elena Perlino,
originally from Italy, who began to notice the presence of young African
women working on the streets during her commutes from Turin.
She
said: 'I decided to start from this surreal vision to tell a story. I
have been working on the topic for several years, focusing mainly on the
Italian connection.'

Perlino
reveals that many Nigerian women come to Italy hoping to make enough
money from honest work as nannies or factory workers to support their
families back home, but are tricked by traffickers into working in the
sex trade.
