“After transport, the money is almost finished.” Nigeria
A woman and her child rest on June 26, 2019 in Benin City, at one of the shelters of the Society For the Empowerment Of Young Persons , an organisation that rehabilitates and reintegrates women returning from Libya carrying young children often born as the result of rape.
Her employment is part of a training programme, set up by southern Edo State, the departure point for most Nigerian migrants. Under the scheme, they can travel for free to Benin City, Edo’s capital, stay two nights in a hotel, receive an hour of psychological support and an about 1,000-euro allowance.
“It’s a priority for us to give youth, who are potential migrants, opportunities in jobs they can be interested in.”
