Abstract(s)
This article examines the vicissitudes that affect the migration trajectories of many Nigerian
women who experienced trafficking before arriving in Italy, and end up in Centers for Identification
and Expulsion (CIE) for undocumented migrants. Their life stories, collected within the
CIE of Ponte Galeria (Rome), revealed violence as “a rule of action” with which these women
are obliged to cope with at different levels. Moreover, they highlighted the failure of traditional
security approaches to human trafficking, and the necessity to rethink the measures
adopted to ensure survivors’ protection and rights. As it is conceived, the system of immigration
control prevents the full guarantee of survivors’ rights, often labelling them as “illegal
migrants”. Finally, there is the need to extend protection to all survivors of human trafficking
even if the crime against them has not happened in Italy.
