This chapter begins by deconstructing the dominant definition of trafficking as the one-sided exploitation of naïve women—a narrative advanced by the United Nations’ anti-trafficking protocol and widely reproduced in public discourse. Focusing on the case of sex trafficking from Nigeria to Europe, the chapter explores how institutional and media fixations on the presence of “voodoo rituals” contribute to portraying Nigerian migrant sex workers as passive, lifeless bodies entirely controlled by traffickers. In contrast to this reductive framing, the chapter analyses the trafficking narratives of both identified victims and convicted women, revealing a more complex interplay of agency and coercion on both sides. Migrants and sponsors alike described their involvement as part of a broader personal and collective project, albeit one shaped—and at times constrained—by kinship ties, both biological and ritual. Viewed through this lens, the chapter invites the reader to understand the relationship between migrants and madams as a form of indentured sex work migration—reciprocal in terms of obligations and expectations and deeply embedded in a familial dimension.
