Faith, a 24-year-old from southern #Nigeria, went to Moscow in 2013 knowing she would work as a prostitute, just as her madam had done years before. Before leaving for Russia, she swore an unbreakable oath—conducted by a "juju" priest—to pay back her soon-to-be boss and madam and never betray her. What her madam didn’t tell her was that the debt she would have to pay—56,000—was in dollars, not Nigerian currency, which would have amounted to just $350. Faith, photographed here by @lynseyaddario on March 25, is one of tens of thousands of young Nigerian women who have been trafficked to Europe for sexual exploitation over the past 15 years. Most are from Edo State and its capital, Benin City, where a combination of poverty and lack of opportunity have driven thousands of young women, who are expected to financially support their families, to seek their fortune abroad. But, as TIME's @arynebaker writes, it is that primitive oath that keeps many young Nigerian women bound to the sex #trafficking trade, desperately afraid of the curse that might befall them if they break its terms. Now the power of the oath is now under assault from an unexpected origin: the traditional ruler of the Edo people. As head of the 800-year-old Kingdom of Benin, Ewuare II—who was crowned the new Oba in fall 2016—wields absolute power over the deities and priests who practice juju today. On March 9, the Oba convened a meeting of some 500 juju priests and practitioners at his palace to cast a curse of his own: He nullified any oaths undertaken by victims of human trafficking and placed a curse on any native doctor or #juju priest who carried out the practice. It was, in the words of one of the meeting’s attendees, the nuclear missile of curses. Read the full story on TIME.com. Photograph by @lynseyaddario—@verbatimphoto for TIME
