Underage brothels raided

[Flashermac]

No idea what it was called, though it apparently was quite open. And no, Gob, the prostitutes were not chained to their beds or anything. They could go outside and roam around. Allegedly, it was actually a better life than they'd had in the orphanges - which tells you something.

 

I personally saw some "pros" freelancing on Patpong in the 1980s who made me cringe. But the details are best left to PMs, if you are interested. No coercion involved either. This thread is indeed straying close to dangerous waters.

You don't have to chain forced prostitutes. Physical and psychological pressure as well as drugs can break the girls and force them into submission. That's what we see in Germany with forced (adult) East European prostitutes.

Or you can decide it's the best solution for you economically,

 

Economic slavery doesn;t sound cool though, so let's make up a bunch of other stuff so we get NGO $'s

 

Seriously, a bloke I know in PP a few years back was commissioned to do a study on trafficking into prostitution, i.e. forced.

 

Instead of the 1 million commonly quoted he found 400, a rather smaller number.

I viewed one gals story on the tele. This was about a Romanian gal taken to Middle East. Passport taken.

 

I realize these gals are supposedly real young. But why didn't they just walk away? Telephone home?

we're all economically enslaved

unless some of us are independently wealthy

This will only get worse, and we are seeing the tip of the iceberg. I dont have a source, but I read somewhere that people trafficking currently makes more money for organised crime than drugs, and the author claimed that the criminals see it as an easier way to make money. Bring on the comet.

 

I dont have a "source" either but I do have a bit of evidence. For years it was assumed that people trafficking in the UK was a massive problem so an enquiry was set up. The enquiry "failed to find a single person who had forced anybody into prostitution in spite of hundreds of raids on sex workers in a six-month campaign by government departments, specialist agencies and every police force in the country."

Of course this is not directly relevant to Thailand but I think its generally a good idea to seperate anecdote from hard evidence.

I too have no evidence, a high profile media investigation into underage hooking in NZ found only one who turned out to be 18 but said she'd started younger.
