Hi IDF x
My apologies for the late check-back on the thread ..been busy

To answer your Q , yes , I do believe there are some trafficked individuals in our business .
: just as there are
Innumerable trafficked Au Pairs and kitchen staff ,
countless housekeeping staff in large tourist hotels , etc.
NONE of those situations are acceptable !
Fair wage and fair freedom of movement should be an inalienable right in ALL sectors of labor .
Over the past few years human trafficking has become the 'go-to' subject , it is All Over media (cnn etc.) .
Is the situation worse now than it was in the past , or we are just more aware / better informed -- or better hyped ??
: False claims by "rescued" girls
Some of the girls and young women whom Mam rescued from slavery were used in testimonials promoting Mam's foundation, but at least one of those girls later "confessed that her story was fabricated and carefully rehearsed for the cameras under Mam's instruction," Newsweek reported. -- sound familiar ?? : Ruhama does same ?

Why is it that when human trafficking is discussed the conversation is Always curved back to the sex industry ??
There are more indentured / forced laboreres worldwide than victims of sex trafficking . (Quatar Construction !!)
There are more child-labor vicitims worldwide than victims of sex trafficking .. etc.
^^^ Of course One doesn't make the Other right or 'less bad' !! ,
but to answer you , yes , I am sure there are some girls who come over with promises
of 'big income' doing this business and end up being used up and not much better off
when they go home , than they were when they arrived .
And once again :
What is Trafficked ?? -- Assisted ? Forced ? Disappointed ? Coerced ?
What Is Trafficked ?
