Nigeria – Trafficking to Europe
AP developed a partnership with the Women's Consortium of Nigeria (WOCON) in 1998. Two years later an AP team visited Nigeria to profile WOCON’s advocacy against the trafficking of Nigerian women from Nigeria to Italy. This resulted in a written series of On the Record - Girls for Sale. The project also introduced AP to the Transnational AIDS Prevention among Migrant Prostitutes in Europe Project (TAMPEP), an AP partner which assists trafficked women in Turin to escape from trafficking.
AP has sent several Peace Fellows to work on the issues of trafficking, both with WOCON and TAMPEP.
- 2003: Erica Williams with WOCON, Julie Lee with TAMPEP
- 2004: Melinda Willis with TAMPEP
- 2005: Malia Mayson and Jessica Smedstad with WOCON, Ewa Sobczynska with TAMPEP
- 2006: Laura Cardinal and Jessica Sewall with WOCON, Anya Gorovets with TAMPEP
- 2007: Michelle Lanspa and Leslie Ibeanusi with TAMPEP
