The International Organization for Migration’s Global Migration Data Analysis Centre found that in 2017, of the 21 million migrants living in Africa, 18 million of them coming from different African countries. The European Commission found that there is a structural movement coming from sub-Saharan Africa headed North due to economic and security struggles (IOM, GMDAC, 2017). "A similarly critical figure relating to recent irregular migration from Africa points to a notable increase in the number of migrants in vulnerable situations, especially women and minors. For example, among the 181,000 migrants who arrived in Italy in 2016, around 24,000 (13% – almost half of them from Nigeria) were women, and around 28,000 (15%) were minors, of whom the vast majority (91%) were unaccompanied” (IOM GMDAC 2017).
