I asked about it here because I figured that a person or two on this board (comprised of men in porn) has been to a whorehouse and that many would have been exposed to this terrible form of slavery. I could read about it on Wikipedia, but it's not the same.
I am naive about a lot of things, but I try my best to continue my education to understand the world better!
So, if people KNOW that these women are trafficked, what do you do to help them? Or, as someone says, nobody cares? |
Whatever opened your eyes to it, did the job and that's all that matters.
I meant don't stop there at just the movie to educate yourself on the subject.
There are various groups and NGOs around the world that help with human trafficking but the problem is that outside of these groups, nobody cares. It's kind of like the illegal drug business, there are all kinds of groups and law enforcement to try to curb it but truth is there is too much money in it and everyone has their hands in it so nothing really happens other than a bust here or there but even those busts do nothing to stop it.
The other problem is many of these women end up right back in the same place. I forget who it was, the BBC or Al Jeerzera, but one of them had a 1 or 2 hour show dedicated to human trafficing not too long ago. They were in Europe and buying girls (about 700) from these pimps. They would get the girl out of there, take her to a shelter, feed her and get her medical attention and try to help her. Most of the girls would actually run away from the shelter over time and go right back to the same pimps that sold them in the first place. Sadly for many of these girls, this is all they know.
