17 year old, Becky, migrated from Nigeria in search for the European dream, only to end being physically abused and mentally beaten.
In freezing temperatures, they are forced to sell their bodies, feeling like they are giving away a part of their soul with every sexual act.
In 2016, around 11,000 Nigerian women arrived in Italy by sea, and in November, 2017, 26 Nigerian women, and girls were found dead in their attempt to cross the Mediterranean.
I can't even begin to imagine walking a day in the shoes of these women who were in search for an opportunity, in search for stability, and strength...
Nor can I begin to judge. It's real life from some out there, and I pray everyone overcomes their struggles. One day at a time.
Prostitution, and pimps are all over the world, but in knowing that, it does not lessen the value of these women or the mission behind these unfortunate acts. My heart goes out to all those in hardships and those who aren't trying to be supportive, and giving guidance.
