Thank you for this exhausting and depressing work you do exposing the ugliness of the sex trade.

With appreciation and admiration.

What do you do to protect your mental health? I am an ecologist. My University teaching and research exposes me to what is being termed “ecological grief” as I witness the loss of biodiversity day after day. I can not imagine how I would cope if I were doing the kind of teaching and research that you do. Take care.

This is so eye-opening and depressing. I wouldn’t have thought the problem would be so big there either. Thank you for all you do.

I'm screaming in my head about the whole article. Some sections are examples of "the banality of evil". One sentence that's stands out to me is "I understand that those were the days when local women sold sex." It is horrifying in its implications.

Thank you for your work, Julie.

The story of the johns who work for a Human Rights' organization and regularly dehumanize (highly likely) trafficked women, effectively sums up what abolitionnists are up against. I hope the whistleblower is successful in getting them fired.
