Jane was deceived into leaving her home in Nigeria and enslaved in Europe
Jane's boyfriend Austin took her to the Netherlands from Nigeria in 1994
when she was 20 years old.
He told her he would put her in school; told her she was beautiful; he'd help her out. Her mother was poor and she didn't have a father, so she agreed.
But when they reached the Netherlands he began to threaten her.
They sought asylum and Austin told her to say she was from Liberia, aged 25, and to give a different name. If she didn't, he threatened he'd take her back to Africa, where he and those he knew would harm her.
The woman threatened to send the mafia to kill Jane if she did not continue work
She didn't stay long in the Netherlands. Austin smuggled her to Italy where he sold her to a woman. They told Jane she had to become a prostitute and pay 40,000 euros (US$55,000) for the chair she slept in.
When Jane refused, they hit her and threatened to beat up her mother back in Nigeria.
She earned about half the €40,000 but then they said she had to pay for where she stood in the street.
Sometimes the woman threatened to send the mafia to kill Jane if she did not continue work. She was not allowed out of the house without a minder and when she worked pimps were not far off, watching her, in a car.
Flight
Jane worked there for six years until 2000 when her earnings dropped and the woman and Austin arranged to get her fake papers to work in a nightclub.
But Jane fled before she started work there. With a little of her own money and what she begged from strangers she raised a train fare to the Netherlands.
She was only there a day when she was picked up by the police and deported back to Italy. But terrified of being found, she begged the train fare back to the Netherlands and this time found refuge among friends and boyfriends.
In 2004 she became pregnant and had a son against the wishes of the father, who left her. She became pregnant again from another relationship and again refused to have an abortion. After she delivered her twins their father also left. She scraped a living by begging and doing people's hair, but it was not enough to pay her rent and she was moved on from place after place.
On the street and desperate for food and medical care for her children in 2006 she was pointed in the direction of a Reformed church. The pastor directed her to Tom Marfo, a Ghanaian living in the Netherlands who set up a church and houses for victims of trafficking.
He gave her food for her children and some cash to keep her going for a few days. He is appealing to the Reformed churches in the Netherlands for assistance with her rent and is seeking legal help for her to be allowed to stay in the Netherlands.
