I was given tight clothes to wear and was told what I must do. There would be
armed men selling tickets to customers in the trailer. Tickets were condoms. Each ticket would be sold for $22
to $25 each. The client would then point at the girl he wanted and the girl would
take him to one of the bedrooms…
At the end of the night, I turned in the condom wrappers. Each wrapper represented a supposed
deduction to my smuggling fee. We tried to keep our
own records, but the Bosses would destroy
them. We were never sure what we owed.
I was afraid to say no because she had taken my passport, and I didn't know any German. She and her husband, who was a drug dealer, threatened to beat me if I tried to leave, and said if I went to the police, I
would be deported. They said no one would care what happened to
me, and no one would help.
Some would say that he took pity on me, but in reality this helped him to avoid being arrested and charged with pimping. He was never charged, and the German
police never attempted to do anything about the network of people who had trafficked
me
700,000 – 2 million women… ANNUALLY
Between $250 - $25,000 per shipment…
…it’s a BILLION DOLLAR business
Australia, Asia, Europe, Africa, South America, North America…
…in other words, EVERY continent EXCEPT for Antarctica
TRAFFICKING of WOMEN…
