Abstract
In Libya, Eritrean migrants and refugees find themselves in vulnerable situations. With no legal status or viable options, and limited access to information, migrants and refugees are pushed into dangerous situations, making them easy prey for traffickers and others seeking to exploit them. Sold, sold-on, used for forced labour and prostitution, and tortured for ransom, these migrants and refugees become trapped in a cycle of abuse and exploitation that is hard to escape and is best understood as a human trafficking cycle.
