The same thing happens to the women arriving in Spain via the Strait ofGibraltar who generally are intercepted by the Spanish police and accompanied to acentre of reception/permanence.When they go out of the centre of reception/permanence, after having receivedthe expulsion order, the woman finds waiting for her a person (either the madam ora man working for her) who accompanies her in Italy, eluding the controls.It is very evident that this type of intervention is possible only thanks to theexistence of a wide network, flexible, with ramifications in Nigeria and in the otherAfrican countries, as well as Europe.2.2 The journey seen through the account of thevictimsIn the testimony of the victims the experience of the journey may occupy ashort space or become a long and detailed account of an adventurous experience.

I called to say I was in Budapest, I calledNigeria and I called X who was in Rome. He told me «Be calm I send someone tocollect you»” (Interview Victim No.5).In general this type of organisation is only for single girls. At the destinationairport the girls may find an accompanier or may have the address of the pension,hotel or house where they should report as a reception post to find the necessarysupport to reach the final destination.
