A teenage girl who was sold for sex for the price of a few beers as a twelve-year-old, has told the United Nations how she was trafficked between Burundi and Tanzania in East Africa.
Some one thousand victims of human trafficking have been identified in Burundi since 2017, according to the UN’s International Organization for Migration (IOM).
Elisabeth (not her real name) is one of the lucky ones. She survived the ordeal and received assistance from IOM to return home to Burundi.
She told her story for the first time to IOM staff, ahead of World Day Against Trafficking in Persons which is marked annually on 30 July.
“My parents separated before I was born, and my mum remarried while pregnant with me. But her new husband told her to leave me with my grandparents because I wasn’t his true daughter.
Life was difficult with my grandparents, there was no food to eat. I decided to leave and stay with a friend. There I heard about a woman in the village who could take me across the border into Tanzania where I could work.
I knew I wouldn’t get any money there, but it meant food on the table and a bed. The woman who brought me from Burundi started to ask me to steal bananas from the neighbours’ properties and threatened to kick me out if I refused.
Another family in the village said I could go to their friend’s house to work instead.
I was taken to a new family who introduced me to a man who I was told was to be my new husband. I refused and told them that ‘I did not come here to marry’. They laughed and took me to a bar nearby. I went along as I had nowhere to go, but I did not drink.
We came back at night, and they told me I could sleep in the man’s house next door. When I refused, they suggested one of their girls could accompany me, but it was a trap. The man asked the girl to get him a beer and instead she locked the door from the outside, leaving me alone with him.
‘Even if you refuse to marry me, I already paid your dowry in beers tonight’ he told me.
‘I’m not old enough to be a woman’ I told him. I was 11 or 12 years old at the time.
I tried to fight as hard as I could, but I grew weak. I screamed but no-one did anything. People could hear and knew what was happening, but they did nothing. Eventually, he overpowered me and then raped me.
After raping me, he told me that I was still a child, and threw me outside to sleep. I had some pain after the act, but it passed. This is the first time I have told anyone. I was scared to say anything before.
I went from house to house, staying with whoever would take me in. Some refused my offer of domestic work because I was a minor. Others offered me 30,000 Tanzanian Shillings ($13) per month but I never received it.
After raping me, he told me that I was still a child, and threw me outside to sleep.
Each time I asked for it they would reply ‘later’, ‘another time’ or ‘how do you think we pay for your food and bed? That’s already money’.
Eventually some neighbours called an association called Kiwohede that helps children like me. They took me into their shelter until IOM came and helped me to find my family and bring me home to Burundi.
I am 16 years old now, so too old to enter primary school, but I am receiving training in dressmaking until I am of legal age to work. I hope that I can be really good at it and become an independent person with this profession”.
With the COVID-19 pandemic heightening the dangers of gender-based violence and human trafficking, action on these two fronts is needed now more than ever, the head of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime ( UNODC ) said on Monday.
Criminal groups feed off the instability created by conflicts, and as links between wars, trafficking and migrant smuggling become more widely known, the United Nations is calling on the international community to act now to help and protect trafficking victims and to end this crime forever.

A teen Paralympic swimming star has shared her seemingly impossible journey from miraculously surviving a suicide bomb attack at the hands of her own father as a baby, to the world stage at the Tokyo Games.
Haven Faith Shepherd, now 18, was blown 10 metres in the air in a blast in 2004 caused by her disturbed father, who had strapped a bomb to his own body and unthinkably, also to his wife.
Both were killed inside the family's thatched hut in Vietnam.
Her parents were having extramarital affairs, Ms Shepherd was later told, and her father purchased the bombs when he could no longer bear their situation, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.
A teen Paralympic swimming star and model has shared her seemingly impossible journey from miracle survival in a suicide bomb attack by her own father as a baby to the Tokyo Games
Haven Shepherd, 18, realised a goal she set herself at 13 by swimming in the Paralympics on Saturday morning
Miss Shepherd recounted in chilling detail how her father gabbed hold of her too, just 16 months old at the time, before detonating the bombs.
In the explosion that followed Haven suffered devastating burns, injuries and blood loss but thankfully was thrown from his arms and survived.
Miss Shepherd was rushed to hospital where both her legs were immediately amputated and her head was shaved 'to dig the shrapnel from my scalp'.
Strangers paid for her medical care and operations but as her grandparents were so poor, they couldn't afford the cost of care. She was adopted by an American family, Rob and Shelly Shepherd.

After almost being murdered by her own father, Haven Shepherd has gone on to become a disability advocate, athlete, motivational speaker and a model
Stunning photographs show tiny Haven in the weeks after she somehow survived two devastating bomb blasts that killed both her parents. Haven with her adopted father Rob Shepherd, whom she calls her hero
Miss Shepherd had to learn to walk on prosthetic legs while growing up in a new country.
She learned to swim in the family's backyard pool in Missouri.
Inspired to participate in sports by her six sports-mad siblings - she has four sisters and two brothers - she settled on swimming over running, which she found painful.

In 2013, at just nine years of age, she vowed to one day compete for her adopted country at the Paralympic Games.
Since then she has become a motivational speaker as well as an athlete, a model, brand ambassador and disability advocate.
Miss Shepherd bears no resentment for what happened.
'That's a life I never lived; I don't remember it,' Haven told People magazine.
Instead she sees herself as an example of finding 'beauty from the ashes'.

This month she fulfils her life-long dream in Tokyo.
She will compete in five swimming events: the 100 metre breaststroke, backstroke and butterfly, the 50 metre freestyle and the 200 metre individual medley.
On Saturday, her first day of competition in the individual medley, in which she is a medal chance, she posted an inspiring message on Instagram.

' Today is my first race here in competition. Truth is, for me, this whole experience isn't about the final place I receive but about the journey I took to get here.
'I could've spent the last six years of my life sitting because it is easier than walking, or complaining because it's easier then being grateful, or quitting because it is easier than continuing.'
'I decided to keep moving and for today, I am pretty excited about where it all led me.
'Remember… if you can't run, walk… if you can't walk, crawl… if you can't crawl… or hate to run… swim! But no matter what… move!'
