TO GO WITH AN AFP STORY by Sophie BOUILLON
A woman and her child rest on June 26, 2019 in Benin City, at one of the shelters of the Society For the Empowerment Of Young Persons (SEYP), an organisation that rehabilitates and reintegrates women returning from Libya carrying young children often born as the result of rape. - More than 14,000 young Nigerians, most of them between the ages of 17 and 35, have returned to their home country through the United Nations Voluntary Return programme, after living in hell in Libya, stranded during months, sometimes years, unable to turn around or cross the Mediterranean. Back in their country, they find themselves faced with a life even more difficult than when they left: riddled with debt, unemployed, broken by the tortures of their traffickers and by their stranded dreams, and victims of the glance of a society that nicknamed them "the returned ones" or the "deportees".
