NAPTIP: Nigerian women facing exploitation, sexual harassment in Iraq | TheCable
The National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons says Nigerian women working as domestic workers in Iraq are being exploited.
“Because of the proactive activities and collaborative efforts of NAPTIP and its partners in raising awareness around issues of human trafficking to some of the known destination countries, traffickers have now shifted attention to Iraq,” the statement reads. “Many of them have no access to their phones because their phones are seized immediately they are paired with an employer. They are never allowed out of the premises where they are serving and even when communication is established with them for rescue, they cannot give details of their location because they don’t know where they are. It is indeed a very scary situation.”
