Dozens of pregnant women disappear from Dutch refugee centres

Dutch News  

At least 25 pregnant women from different African countries disappeared from Dutch refugee centres in November and December, according to radio current affairs show Argos. The programme bases its claims on an alert issued by Dutch human trafficking centre EMM to midwives in January, and police have confirmed the disappearances, Argos said. Network Disappearances from refugee centres are a major European issue and Argos is part of a European journalists network Lost in Europe, which has been researching the problem for 20 years. And in the late 2000s, over 100 Nigerian girls disappeared from Dutch refugee centres, several of whom were later found in Italian brothels.
