❤️ 🇳🇬 🇳🇬 ... Refugee status after 4 years .. interesting motivation on the indices from which to infer that the woman was a victim of trafficking as well as the risk of derision by members of the community: "The journey through the sea to Italy faced without paying anything.
In the light of the above-mentioned trafficking indicators, there is a clear situation
Trafficking for the purpose of sexual exploitation. It is therefore necessary to proceed to the
Assessment of the risk to which the applicant would be exposed in the event of repatriation,
Considering that in order for the victim of trafficking to be recognised the status of
Refugee there must be a well-founded fear of persecution linked to at least one
Of the cases covered by the Geneva Convention. In this regard, how
Noted by the Territorial Commission, the applicant did not express any concerns
Connected to what occurred during the trip and possible further consequences, in
Case of return, tied to the traffic experience. However, it is believed that the
Difficulty and the reluctance of the applicant to narrate certain aspects of the narrated may
Be justified by the peculiar situation of women victims of trafficking for the purpose of
Sexual exploitation, whose experiences are characterised by taboos, stigma and
Ostracism on the part of the community to which they belong can justify. Condition
Which, often, leads women to remain silent about the violence suffered for fear of exposing themselves
To judgements, to which is added the difficulty of evoking situations and events of profound
Physical and psychological suffering. In addition, from the COI sources consulted by this
College it appears that repatriated women, with past experience of trafficking, are
Exposed to the risk of re-trafficking and social stigmatisation especially in cases in
Whose migratory experience has “failed” and have not been able to earn
Money and send remittants home. COI research, published by EUAA in October
2021, states that the extent to which a victim would be stigmatised or welcomed
It also depends on the previous relationship between the victim and his family members. There are cases
In which victims of trafficking, including minors, have been physically assaulted, mocked,
Insulted or harassed by family members or community members.”
