I'm usually a pretty forgiving person and don't like the idea of revenge, but I wouldn't mind strangling the people who run these brothels with my bare hands, one by one, made to look into the face of death.
They drug these girls, kidnap them, sell them for sex. Many of the clients have aids and think a virgin will cure them. Most of these girls die of aids in their 20s.

Fox news had this story months ago...
but yes, it boggles the mind that people actually don't believe in evil.
And I try to make this kind and clear
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Cuz I don't need boxes wrapped in strings
And desire and love and empty things
Just a chance that maybe we'll find better days
Perhaps the punishment should fit the crime in this case?
Not that I would normally advocate an eye for an eye type thinking.
But I think for every evil act against every girl, perhaps an equal one perpertrated against these slave traders. Strangling seems to easy and way too quick somehow.
Only I don't know how that would stop it. And that's what I'd like to see most. The whole of slavery, across the world, completely stopped.

Yes. I struggle to understand their motivation and the inclination.
And the absolute lack of humanity. :(

I know that there was a thread about this previously LikeAnOcean, and I think it had links to Amnesty sites and other organizations that help to stamp out this vile scourge. I'm trying to find it. Soon as I do, I'll let you know.
Helps to feel that we can be pro active sometimes.

It's called Stop Human Trafficking and it's on the Train.
Plus I've copied the link and I'll paste it here too. I'm sure genie won't mind.

Don't hit me.
It's just amazing the places that they find to set up their brothels.
I guess one thing we can all do as a community is to be vigilant and report anything suspicious to the authorities.

Last summer i was walking by a well known one in the westend, which is quite an upmarket area, was walking between two friends places and because i was drinking a beer in the street the police stopped their car and asked where i was going to and where from.
Told them i had been at my friends, and told them he stayed near the brothel round the corner. One of the cops replied 'Which one?' lol
We have had several cases recently here too tybird. One in particular was of an Asian madam, who was arrested and charged with kidnap and sex slavery. She had taken away their passports after bringing them here and was making them work off their airfare and expenses by servicing her brothel clients. I'm not sure of all the details but I do remember the girls were supposedly facing having to work to "pay" her back 10's of 1000's of dollars. Just appalling.
I don't object in theory to people participating in sex for money transactions. BUT I absolutely believe it should follow all codes, rules and regulations. That the physical and mental health of the workers is absolutely paramount. As is the health of the client. And that UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should people who have not made the informed choice to participate be in that situation.
