MOSCOW - Blessing Obuson thought Russia’s soccer World Cup would be an opportunity to find a job and flew into Moscow from Nigeria last June on a fan ID. Instead, she found herself forced to work as a prostitute.
Instead, she said she was locked in a flat on the outskirts of Moscow and forced into sex work along with 11 other Nigerian women who were supervised by a madam, also from Nigeria. “They don’t give you food for days, they slap you, they beat you, they spit in your face... It’s like a cage,” said one 21-year old woman, who declined to be named.
