| description | The average Nigerian seeks temporary or permanent stay abroad. Some Nigerian women
migrate to Europe in search of work and a better life. Coming to Europe, Nigerian women expect
overseas work to transform their lives, make society work for them, and restore some sense of civility
in their lives. Instead, getting to Italy to engage in sex work, their lives grew harder, their livelihood
just as shattered, distant and terribly irrelevant as ever. This is thus a study in transnational
participation – the simultaneous movements of people, information, monies across boundaries of
Nigeria and Italy. It deals with the coordinated movements: of a segment of Nigerian women and
girls; of information, including the export of creeds, philosophies, and dogmas; of physical objects,
including personal properties; of monies through the face-to-face interactions between citizens of
Nigeria and Italy. With a view to unpack the effects of gender entrapment on the economic
opportunities of Nigerian women the study investigates the impacts of gender-based discrimination on
the mobility and trafficking of Nigerian women to Italy. |
