Elizabeth
Elizabeth Anighoro was trafficked and sold into sexual slavery by her own parents, who sent her to Spain under the false promise that she would enter university.
Pursuing an illusory dream of becoming a fashion designer, she walked across the scorching Sahara desert to Morocco, where she crossed the land border into Ceuta hidden behind the wheel of a car. All this happened when she was just 16 years old.
After filing a complaint against her traffickers, Anighoro became a protected witness and was transferred to Madrid. In the capital, she found refuge in the mothers' home of the Fundación Madrina, where she received psychological and legal assistance to resolve her migratory situation. It was during this period that Anighoro was raped three times, resulting in three pregnancies. Despite these painful experiences, Fundación Madrina continued to support her.
It was there that she learned of the tragic death of her sister at the hands of her own father. She was killed because she became pregnant and could not be sold, as Elizabeth had been. Anighoro was "in a state of shock" when she received the news.
After years of perseverance and with the constant support of the foundation, Elizabeth managed to find a social rental in the town of Toledo. This achievement marked a milestone in her life, finally providing her with a safe and stable space in which to build her future.

Elizabeth Anighoro fue víctima de la trata de personas y vendida como esclava sexual por sus propios padres, quienes la enviaron a España bajo la falsa promesa de que ingresaría a la universidad.
Persiguiendo el sueño ilusorio de convertirse en diseñadora de moda, atravesó a pie el abrasador desierto del Sahara hasta llegar a Marruecos, donde cruzó la frontera terrestre con Ceuta escondida en el volante de un coche. Todo esto ocurrió cuando tenía apenas 16 años.
Después de presentar una denuncia contra sus traficantes, Anighoro se convirtió en testigo protegido y fue trasladada a Madrid. En la capital, encontró refugio en el hogar de madres de la Fundación Madrina, donde recibió asistencia psicológica y legal para resolver su situación migratoria. Fue durante este período que Anighoro sufrió violación en tres ocasiones, resultando en tres embarazos. A pesar de estas dolorosas experiencias, la Fundación Madrina continuó brindándole apoyo.
Fue allí donde se enteró de la trágica muerte de su hermana a manos de su propio padre. La joven fue asesinada porque quedó embarazada y no podría ser vendida, como había sucedido con Elizabeth. Anighoro quedó "en estado de shock" al recibir la noticia.
Después de años de perseverancia y con el respaldo constante de la fundación, Elizabeth logró encontrar un alquiler social en el pueblo de Toledo. Este logro marcó un hito en su vida, proporcionándole finalmente un espacio seguro y estable donde construir su futuro.
