Reflections on anti-oppressive interventions with young Nigerian women victims of trafficking in Italy

The numbers of landings of young Nigerian girl victims of human trafficking from Libya have put the Italian anti-trafficking services in crisis. Reflections are needed that lead to changes in consolidated approaches on the part of social services. How can we really help young trafficked minors with the available public services? What to do to create effective inclusion paths? How to manage the traumas they have? How to make these young girls truly protagonists of their own empowerment paths? How to promote a good motivation in adhering to programs that are "imposed" by the service system? How can there be trust from someone if they do not give trust first? We tried to respond to these questions by changing our perspective and listening with open minds to the young women we met.
