Both articles are excellent and make for sobering reading. Even more horrifying are the comments on Julie’s article, they seem to follow a formula:
Its the oldest trade.
Men need sex.
These women are willing.
It could be worse…
I despair at the lack of humanity, morality and intellect shown.
thank you julie. this is something i have cared about since my teens. i really appreciate your continued research and reporting. it's a global problem and absolutely fundamental in terms of social justice. the more it has become accepted the more this trade in vulnerable people (mostly women and children) grows. you may sometimes feel like a voice in the wilderness especially in these heartless times. but i hear you. what you say is more important than ever.
