Sex trafficking in ladies resembles the ancient dehumanizing slave trafficking and lately has become the quickest growing human rights violation visible globally. Sex trafficking described as a type of violence perpetrated on women that takes place in numerous settings and generally entails many unique actors.
It’s generally called present day slavery because in most
cases it includes involuntary servitude even though numerous countries have
tough anti-trafficking regulation in order to tackle Sex trafficking such laws are often no longer enforced to
check the sex trafficking menace partly due to very influential personalities
involved in this disgraceful act.
The trafficking of Nigerian girls from Libya to Italy by
means of boat for sex has reached “disaster” levels; in recent days an underage
sufferer filed a report with the police, in Spain stating that she was
compelled into trafficking through voodoo threats made in Nigeria.
The victims were kept in "squalid situations in
caves" and intimidated with voodoo threats according to Europol.
The menace had earlier prompted an investigation in Europe
lead by the UK's National Crime Agency which flew to Barcelona to meet Mossos,
the Catalan police, who conducted the investigation into the Supreme Eiye
Confraternity (SEC) a gang, said to be responsible.

The Supreme Eiye Confraternity (SEC) gang individuals who
involve in the act do have International network connections throughout 3
continents of Europe, Africa and the Middle East and pressure women into sex with
strangers in order to repay about 30,000
euro ($37,000; £26,000) debt said to be money used in bringing them to Europe.
However recently about Eighty-nine people, together with a
well-known but yet unnamed Nigerian DJ, was arrested in a raid. The DJ is
stated to have helped circulate victims to Spain and arrange sexual exploitation
throughout the continent.
Information passed over to the NCA, along partners in
Madrid, helped conduct the investigation into the gang, which led to the
arrests. This is a first-rate blow to the SEC, however in no way will it stop them.
