Paolo Patrizi's Migrant Sex Workers Near Rome, 2009-2012
Photographer Paolo Patrizi documented roadside and woodland locations outside Rome where Nigerian migrant women waited for and met clients between 2009 and 2012. Most were from Benin City in Nigeria's Edo State. Some had been trafficked by criminal gangs after being promised legitimate work, while others had been smuggled into Europe and sold sex to repay debts or support their families. Patrizi concentrated on landscapes and traces of the work rather than conventional portraits. The series shows mattresses in wooded shelters, discarded tissues and wrappers, a plastic chair, a bathtub, a dirt track, a roadside billboard and a flattened patch in a wheat field. Four images show women from behind or with their faces turned away. The project received second prize in the Daily Life stories category at the 2013 World Press Photo contest and won the 2013 YOUMANITY photography award.

"These women work in sub-human conditions; they are sent out without any hope of regularizing their legal status and can be easily transferred into criminal networks. " We have a similar issue in the United States except Liberals allow them to stay in the country, give them under the table work, don't make them pay taxes and like the women in the story, send their money back home to Mexico |
