Naples mafiosi were convicted last week of forcing a Nigerian cancer
patient, Lilian Solomon, into prostitution. The situation is worse that we think. Read a report from
Daily Beast about how Nigerian girls, as young as 13, are sold and forced into sex slavery in Italy...
Across Italy, Nigerian women are forced into the sex trade,
essentially kept as slaves who are bought and sold and moved according
to a moribund supply and demand. Some of the prostitutes are young
girls, just 13 or 14 years old. Others are in their 20s or 30s. Many
have children. Some are still married to men in Nigeria. They usually
sit on white plastic chairs under umbrellas to protect them from the
rain in the winter and the harsh sun in the summer.
The highest
concentration of Nigerian forced sex workers is in and around Naples,
but they are not limited to the southern reaches. On Thursday, in the
central region of Abruzzo, four Nigerian gang members and an Italian
taxi driver who allegedly procured prostitutes across the country were
sentenced to between nine and 15 years in prison for making 23-year-old
Nigerian Lilian Solomon prostitute herself even though she was in the
late stages of lymphoma cancer.
