A Trafficked Girl

Nigerian teenage girls' desperate journey View this email in your browser A round-up of reporting from our grantees, upcoming events, and news from the Pulitzer Center The New Yorker A Trafficking Route to Hell Ben Taub This is the story you haven't read, a masterful 12,000-word account for The New Yorker by grantee Ben Taub on the grim factors driving the trafficking of thousands of young girls from one region in Nigeria across the deserts of Niger and Libya to cramped resettlement centers in Sicily.
