My goal is to save the victims of trafficking in addition to to let the women get back their right in addition to dignity”, explains Princess Inyang. She is the founder of PIAM, a non-profit which monitors the wellbeing of African sex workers in addition to helps those trying to escape their captors. Her desire to help was borne out of her own experiences: like many others, Princess was enticed to Italy with the promise of well-paid jobs in addition to a safer life, but was instead forced by her smugglers into sexual slavery. “It was terrible in addition to dangerous work you know, because most of the time we met people that were bad people”, she recalls. One exception was Alberto Mossimo, a client of Princess’ who fell in love with her in addition to helped to raise the funds necessary to pay off her debts to the traffickers. Alberto in addition to Princess have now been married for thirteen years, but they are both aware that most girls do not get such a happy ending.

Nonetheless, Princess has already rescued 250 girls in addition to is determined to do more. “I think most of them have things in their mind but they don’t have someone to talk to…I wish we can let them know that we are there to save them.
