Sr. Philomena Okwu - leader of a team of religious women whose centre and shelter rehabilitate and reintegrates trafficked women into societyWithin Africa, Nigeria is the largest source of trafficked girls and women to Europe and Asia for sexual exploitation. Exact statistics are hard to come by because of the clandestine nature of the crime.
The COSUDOW project offers shelter and a rehabilitation centre. It was established in 1999 by the national association of religious women to address social issues that affect women and children. According to Sr Okwu and the team, most of the girls and women that come to the shelter and centre of COSUDOW are traumatised and battered when they arrive. She and her team set about working with every individual and making available to them services such as psychological, spiritual and even pastoral counselling. The beneficiaries are assisted in finding their place in society and rebuilding their self-esteem and confidence.
