A great article that tells us that no matter what we do to stop trafficking in persons, the most important thing we can do is to alleviate the poverty so many people face throughout the world. People are forced to migrate to find economic opportunities, this in turn makes them extremely vulnerable to exploitation. Many women are forced into prostitution in order to care for families and children, and then are looked down upon because of their choice. How can we hold governments repsonsible for not providing more economic opportunities? Or is it not the government we should hold completely responsible? But, something or someone needs to be held responsible for not taking care of the welfare of their citizens. What can we do to provide more economic opportunities…..small loan projects can only do so much!
What do we do about parents who sell their own children to beg, or steal or sell sex…and yes that happens in the US today! And what do we do when women are forced into prostitution to take care of their families, and then are ostracized by their society and their own family for having to do that?
A great article about Pakistan.
