Ogbeide further claimed that some pastors were aware that young girls were being trafficked but failed to intervene. She stated, “Pastors in Italy were aware that young girls are being trafficked, yet they do nothing.”
According to her, the only support they received at the time came from the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, which provided basic health support. She explained, “The only organization that reached out to us was the Red Cross, which provided condoms.”
