An HRW report released Friday says that dozens of Nigerian woman had been trafficked after being deceived with promises of a better life in other West African countries.
The international human rights organization says victims were between the ages of 15 and 17 or younger when taken to Ivory Coast.
The report says victims are forced to have sex with 15 to 30 men a night at 1,000 CFA francs ($2) per visit.
Nigeria's government has passed anti-trafficking laws that focus on human smuggling to other West African countries, Europe and the United States but not Ivory Coast.
