Trafficking of Nigerian women in Greece The past 15 years there has been an gradual increase of human trafficking victims in Greece, especially of women, for sexual exploitation. During the 90s, the vast majority of victims of sex trafficking originated from Eastern European countries. Since the turn of the century, though, more and more women from Africa, especially Nigeria, are being trafficked to Greece. The form and techniques used to bind and sexually exploitate these women are so complicated and culture-specific, that the term Nigerian Trafficking has been coined. This has led HT experts to recognise that procedures and approaches useful for other women, are simply not effective when working with possible Nigerian victims. In the Program for the Support of Women Victims of Violence and Human Trafficking, we have witnessed step by step the only two trials of Nigerian traffickers and victims that have taken place in Greece, both with severe convictions.
