Abstract:
Italy, facing the migration emergency, must tackle the trafficking of young Nigerian women, often minors, who are enslaved for prostitution. Reception policies are hampered by the infiltration of criminal networks into reception centers. Learning Italian becomes crucial for these women's emancipation. A qualitative study investigates the role of language in the liberation process, through the analysis of reports, documents and semi-structured interviews with former victims reintegrated into the workforce. The aim is to understand how Italian influences victims’ ability to report, access services, and integrate. The results aim to improve Italian teaching programs and raise public awareness. It is hoped that the research will offer concrete ideas for effective interventions to support victims.
