Huge numbers of unemployed people nowadays, caused lots of people step in such justifies any means. They will never care about others distress. They just want to make money that would enable to overcome their poverty.
Before I'm moving to Taiwan, I met a mother of two girls. Her older daughter went to Macau to earn money on purpose, and the younger one went to Singapore with the same goals with her sister. The older girl called Maria meanwhile her sister called Julia. They left their mother alone at home with a handful of goals and expectations. As the mother told me, her husband was dead several years ago caused he had a severe disease and have no money to go to the doctor. Sometimes poverty could lead somebody will live in pain even dead.
Both Maria and Julia enrolled themselves to a recruitment agency thru a broker. It's common in my place ask brokers for help when we need to go to work overseas. Sometimes the broker will give a promise a very nice job and high salary. Very tempting and seductive for who didn't have any experience work overseas. Maria and Julia themselves readily agreed with it touts bid.
On the appointed day, Maria and Julia take off and leave their mother and their beautiful calm town. Accompanied by their brokers, they went to the manpower training center.
It was almost three years ago, after they left their town and until now nobody knows where's them even their mother just lost both of them. A pity old woman only could put her expectations and with a hopefulness she trusts that her daughter will be back.
Nobody cares about her misery, she already asked the broker who taken her daughter, but the broker just told her nonsense. The town official themselves also couldn't give her certainty assurances after she gave them a report about her daughter vanished.
Such that incident is often happened not only in my place but how many times I've heard that happened in other countries. A Lin, a 17-year-old Chinese girl works as an artisan dishwasher at a small restaurant to increase her family's little income. Accidentally she met Ms. Wang, a 45-year-old woman who came to the restaurant where A Lin works.
Ms. Wang offered to A Lin a nice job as waiters in a big pub, and it will be better than she had now. Ms. Wang also tell A Lin that she will receive some tips from a guest and visitors. The tip itself sometime more than the salary. Seduced to earn a lot of money, A Lin agreed and she decided to go with Ms. Wang on the same day. Ms. Wang took A Lin to the pub as she have promised A Lin to work in.
After A Lin works a few days as a waiter, soon after that the servitude and extended to sex with customers in a back room of the pub. She threatened will be killed if she omitted. On the other hand, Ms. Wang acted as A Lin's controller or common it called a pimp and collected her income.
How many victims of human trafficking in every year around worldwide. Human trafficking deprives hundreds even thousands of people, men and women, kids even teenagers; of their human right, standard lives and freedom.
I AM TAKING A STAND, AGAINST SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING!!!!
