None of their math adds up. Even the individual stories ... "I was forced to fuck 80 men a day." Really? Goddamn and NO ONE out there really does the math to determine that that's over three dudes per hour - IF THE GIRL DOESN'T SLEEP OR EAT??
Why don't more people call bullshit on these lies?
Hell - we know the name of every drug cartel leader out there.
To move 32 million slaves worldwid (and keep them hidden so well) - that would require cartels equal to the ones in the drug trade.
LMAO. People think they are so smart in the modern world. And then fall for shit like this!!

And yet another great post from the wise Averni.
Here is a thought from a woman's perspective. Do you think that if I KNEW of someone being trafficked that I wouldn't get out there, find her, and get her some assistance.
Stage some sort of ambush? Get her out of there? Do anything?
Sex workers, at least the ones that I know, would have zero tolerance for that type of crap. You would see women rising from the ashes to help another woman in that situation, if we knew of a specific one.
I'm more of a Buddhist - peace - loving - man loving - female. I don't fight. But in that instance? Oh ... I would do what needed to be done. Or find others to do it for me.
I cannot speak for women in other countries, especially those that are so suppressed. But India has a huge activism group. Things are getting better. Too slowly but some places are going in the right direction.
Sex trafficking makes for good politicking. Nothing more.
It's a shame that so many actually believe that tripe, especially in the United States.
For those wanting to read MORE about this fallacy, Maggie McNeill has a great website and she writes about the topic very frequently.

*** Disclaimer: I know that some sex trafficking/slavery does happen. And it's a travesty when it does and needs to be eradicated. But making this pulp "news" and for fodder, just diminishes (for me) the real needs out there for women in dire circumstances.
