There are many ways:
Young women/girls are lured abroad by traffickers who deceive them with legitimate and lucrative work, like shop assistant, baby sitter, but on arrival they are handed over to prostitution rackets and their travel documents seized.
Others are forced to undergo a Juju rite (Voodoo). Many girls believe in this rite and are terrified. The rite is administered by a witchdoctors or herbalists in their homes or shrines on the bidding of the "madam" and "ogas" who see these women/girls as machines for pleasures; machine that must produce as much money as they can.
In some cases criminal rings are involved in the smuggling of children and women across international frontier, mainly for menial work in heavy immigration-dependent economy of Gabon, plantation work in Cameroon and commercial sex worker in Europe.
Some are sold directly into slavery-like domestic work and prostitution and in some cases by their parents.
Some are deceived/coerced by trusted relatives, friends and acquaintances who approach them and tell them that it is possible to find Jobs in Italyand other European countries which will earn them good money to help their families.
Their ages and name (in some cases ) are changed or faked.
Persons are sometimes recruited as a group
Sometimes traffickers strike deals with parents so they would outrightly sell their children.
