Sex Trafficking Around the World

I watched a movie the other day that was both mesmerizing and disturbing.  I could not tear my eyes away from the screen as I sat wide-eye in astonishment at how dark the underworld is.

The story started out with three girls/women from various parts of the world including the Ukraine, the Czech Republic and one little girl visiting the Philipines with her family.  One was wooed by a very handsome man who appeared to want to date her- a woman of probably thirty or so that had a six-year-old daughter.  She was hesitant to date him and ultimately fell for him.  They took a trip to Vienna and she found herself in a hellish nightmare that she could have never dreamed herself.  Her name, Helena.  She was brought to an amazing mansion and brought up a flight of stairs that looked like they belonged at the Governor's mansion, but ended up in a horrific stairway to Hell itself.  She was beaten, raped and other girls in obvious pain and humiliation sat in utter despair and stared blankly at the abuse occurring before them.

The girl in Manila was wooed to a young boy on a bicycle.  He looked innocent enough....she went over to him while she and her mom were shopping in an outside market...just as she got close, a small truck sped up and grabbed her and put her in the back...

And the third was again humiliated beyond what would seem humanly possible and after much pain for who knows how long, it appeared that she would be able to get out of it with some help, but instead murdered by the "pimp" who was using her to make money hand over fist.

It is all pure and simple evil to the core and why is it taking place?  Because there is a market for it!!  I cannot fathom the people who would do this, knowing the evil that is behind it.  If there were no market, this horrendous abuse of women and children would have to STOP!
