The Bois de Vincennes, a sprawling park on the outskirts of eastern Paris, is home to horse riding schools and a zoo which has also been part-commandeered by human traffickers and sex slaves.

The sex slaves are brought from various African countries, but 80 percent of whom are Nigerian women who are made to stand by the park, waiting for customers.

The women who have no identity and means of escaping their predicament for several reasons, return the money they made to their traffickers at the end of the day.

9 out of 10 women in the park are not free women, belonging to a network of human traffickers.

It was gathered that selling sex is reportedly not a crime in Paris but buying is. Hence, these women freely line the streets in very revealing outfits, waiting for men who need their services.

When prison police were asked how this could be allowed to continue, they told CNN there simply isn’t very much they can do, adding that the women are afraid to talk to them because of the networks and they say they’re moved around Europe very often.
