Series 2011 | Episode 3 | Nigeria: Sex, Lies and Black Magic

Reporter Jenny Kleeman and director James Jones travel from Italy to Africa to reveal how human traffickers are using black magic to coerce and trap Nigerian women into a life of prostitution in Europe.

Women are made to swear an oath of loyalty to their traffickers in an elaborate ritual that compels them to pay back extortionate sums of money. If they ever break free or report their traffickers, they believe they will be cursed.

The team begins their journey in northern Italy. As many as 20,000 Nigerian women work as prostitutes on Italy's streets.

Fighting Against Human Trafficking for Commercial Sexual Exploitation: The Actions in Western Europe

AuteurSilvia SCARPA du même auteur

RÉSUMÉ

El artículo examina las iniciativas desarrolladas por los Estados de Europa occidental a nivel regional y nacional para luchar contra la trata de seres humanos con fines de explotación sexual comercial, para prevenir el fenómeno y proteger a las víctimas. Se evalúa la acción emprendida a nivel regional por el Consejo de Europa: por un lado, el Convenio Europeo sobre la lucha contra la trata de seres humanos recientemente aprobado bajo sus auspicios se puede considerar como un logro histórico, siendo hoy el tratado internacional más avanzado que se ocupa de la trata de personas a nivel mundial, mientras que por otro lado, como reconoce el Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos en Rantsev v. Cyprus and Russia, el artículo 4 del Convenio Europeo para la protección de los Derechos Humanos que prohíbe la esclavitud, la servidumbre y el trabajo forzado debe ser interpretado "a la luz de las condiciones actuales", por lo que la trata de personas sin duda entra en su ámbito de aplicación. A nivel nacional, todos los países de Europa Occidental tienen una legislación específica para luchar contra la trata de seres humanos y algunos de ellos incluso han aprobado recientemente nuevas leyes que afectan a la prostitución, pero directamente encaminadas a la lucha contra el tráfico sexual. Por lo tanto, el artículo concluye que los países de Europa occidental parecen estar bien equipados para luchar contra la trata de seres humanos con fines de explotación sexual comercial.

D’un côté, la Convention européenne sur la lutte contre la traite des êtres humains, récemment adoptée sous ses auspices, peut être considérée comme une réalisation marquante, en ce qu’elle constitue aujourd'hui l’instrument international le plus avancé sur la traite des êtres humains à travers le monde. D’un autre côté, la Cour européenne des droits de l'homme dans l’arrêt Rantsev v. Cyprus and Russia, estime que l'article 4 de la Convention européenne des droits de l'homme sur la prohibition de l'esclavage, la servitude et le travail forcé doit être interprété « à la lumière des conditions actuelles », de sorte que la traite des personnes relève sans doute de son champ d’application. Au niveau national, tous les pays d'Europe occidentale ont une législation spécifique pour lutter contre la traite des êtres humains et certains d'entre eux ont même récemment adopté de nouvelles lois concernant la prostitution, qui visent directement à lutter contre le trafic sexuel. Par conséquent, l'article conclut que les pays d'Europe occidentale semblent être bien équipés pour lutter contre la traite des êtres humains aux fins d'exploitation sexuelle commerciale.
