Behind Closed Doors - in the light of the suggestion of fellow Cambridge academic Paulo Campana in his 2016 analysis of Transnational crime groups operating out of Nigeria : The structure of human trafficking :Lifting the bonnet on a Nigerian transnational network published in the British Journal of Criminology, this paper follows the author Dr Carrie Pemberton Ford, in an 18 month participant observer role, searching out the strands of connections and community understanding of the work of Nigerian Madames in the UK, and the trafficking and smuggling networks and routes which service their supply line. The work also looks at the interconnections with resistance and safeguarding in place around Domestic Violence and Gender Based Violence in our communities, and the role faith based communities could have in helping dismantle abusive cultures.
