Trafficking case against Italy

Two Nigerian migrants have taken a case against Italy and Libya to a UN Committee. The two women, with the help of a legal rights association in Italy, claim that Italy and Libya failed to protect their human rights as women and left them at risk of trafficking, exploitation and abuse.

Princess* and Doris* arrived in Libya from Nigeria in 2017 and 2018 respectively. They claim they were trafficked from Nigeria to Libya by criminal networks for the purposes of prostitution. While on their journey towards Libya, they say they were enslaved by the criminal networks and sold from gang to gang, even before they reached the Libyan borders.
