Trafficking Women, a gross violation, a global problem, yet turned away from with eyes down


yes, this is a huge problem

and since it is women who are the victims, poor women at that, the world doesn't have much concern for them, and even sanctifies the practice through it's apathy and indifference. it is truly disgusting and makes me feel shame for humanity.

there do need to be strict fines, and investigations by the rich agencies of the nations in Europe, Asia, and North America (etc.) where these unfortunate human beings are sent to be enslaved and used for their sexual organs. our countries (i am canadian), have the money and resources to examine these crimes and go after the culprits, as well as work with the government of the countries where the women are sent...but we do nothing, we are shamefully and inexusably wronging and ruining millions of lives. lives of women have value, as much value as a man's, as a child's, as any living creature. until women can be seen as equal, they will only be seen as things, as objects.
