Nigeria is the most comfortable country for human trafficking.

Nigeria is the most comfortable country for human trafficking. It all starts with the fact that a trader promised good life to their "product." Parents themselves persuaded to sell their children, and they willingly agree because the seller has promised good wages, educational opportunities and other benefits of civilization. However, the reality is different. Every year more than 500 thousand young girls from Nigeria illegally trafficked to brothels in Europe. The very passage to Europe like a nightmare - to the shores of Spain and Italy, illegal immigrants trafficked on flimsy boats. Those who managed to survive the road, faced with the fact that now they have to sell their bodies in the street. In recent years, the Government of Nigeria and the church opened several shelters for those who are too naive.
