Typical case of sexual exploitation

Women in China, sexually exploited in Barcelona: it only costs five euros (20 10 1 1.5) to provide a service. Recently, due to complaints from local residents, the police began to investigate a house on Maragall Street in Barcelona, which was suspected of being used as a brothel. The police arrested Antonio. Antonio was accused of pimping, helping illegal immigrants and violating workers' rights. He is suspected of being responsible for transporting these girls and controlling their work.

LinY, also known as Sofia, helps manage the company. She not only engages in prostitution, but also keeps a relationship with Antonio. Sophia pays the girls in this brothel: according to the police, they can get 5 euros for each service. Most similar prostitution establishments are managed or led by a woman like Sofía, the so-called "Mama Sang", who is responsible for controlling girls' work and paying them.

The police report warned that Asian women were exploited in such houses. When they came to Spain, these girls were in debt to the prostitution ring. To ensure that they can repay their debts, pimps will take their passports. Each gang will let them work in their own stores or in other stores that maintain good relations. In many cases, their labor is unpaid, or they get little.

The expressions of girls who dare to speak are very important to clarify the facts. In the operation on Malagel Street, one of the girls bought it. H explained that she came to Spain to do something, but she was taken to a massage parlor without a license or any contract.

Those sexual exploitation gangs include massage parlors and beauty salons (in both cases, they also provide sexual services), especially some residential buildings. These houses provide great concealment, ensuring that the person in charge of the brothel can allocate, control and supervise the girls' work. The proliferation of advertisements in the media is a portrayal of the growth of this activity.

A small number of peacekeepers "sexually exploited" 2008-06-11515 Core Tip: Agence France-Presse reported that UN peacekeeping operations have played a great role in maintaining world peace and security, but there are also many problems. Among them, the scandals of sexual exploitation and even sexual abuse of women (including underage girls) by some peacekeepers in Congo (Democratic Republic of the Congo), C? te d 'Ivoire and other countries are of particular concern. These scandals have seriously tarnished the United Nations peacekeeping operations. Yvette 14 years old. She has a round face and big eyes, and her hair is cut very short and neatly. Yvette is an orphan and has nowhere to go in Bunia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, which has been destroyed by years of war. At night, she sleeps on the sidewalk in front of a shop; During the day, she walked up and down the street in the scorching sun with an old parasol.

Her "wandering" route is not arbitrary, but around the camp of the United Nations peacekeeping force. Whenever male peacekeepers appear, she tries to put on a mature and sexy posture and try to attract each other's attention. In Swahili in Africa, Yvette is called a "little prostitute" because she provides sexual services to local UN peacekeepers.

Yvette's parents and other relatives died in the civil war. 10 years old, an armed man raped her and took all her clothes. Yvette cried alone for a long time, then wrapped her naked body in some rags and went to a women's protection organization for help. The staff there comforted her that being raped was not her fault, but the result of the war. At the same time, they told yvette frankly that because she lost her virginity, she lost the qualification to be a bride, and there may be no local man willing to marry her in the future. I hope she will be mentally prepared.

Since then, yvette and other girls with similar experiences have been "wandering" around the UN peacekeeping force camp all day, hoping to exchange their bodies for a pack of biscuits and a glass of milk, preferably a dollar. "Sometimes it is a' transaction' in the car of peacekeepers, and more often it is in their camp. At least they can pay. I feel sad, too, but I need money. I can't work in the farmland to support myself because there are militants there. If I don't do this, who can support me? " Yvette said. Compared with Yvette, francine's experience is even more tragic.

Francine and Yvette are good friends. Francine is a little older, but only 16 years old.

Francine's parents died in the civil war, and since then, she has lived with her uncle. One day in 2003, she tried to find food in the field, but she met an armed man and was raped. Soon after, francine's uncle was killed in an armed conflict, and francine went to Bunia in Ituri alone, because she heard that there was a UN peacekeeping force there, which was safer.

At first, francine dug some cassava roots in the field and sold them for money, but few people bought them. Later, francine met Yvette and learned that he could get food by "trading" with UN peacekeepers. One night in 2005, francine went to the Moroccan peacekeeping force camp as agreed. After completing the "transaction" with a Moroccan soldier, she found that six other soldiers had been waiting for a long time.

Ignoring francine's resistance, they brutally raped her. Afterwards, accompanied by Yvette, francine went to the office of an international organization dedicated to helping victims of sexual violence for help, but because of "fear of trouble", francine finally lied that he had been raped by several militants and did not mention "UN peacekeepers".

There is no good way for relevant international organizations to deal with what happened to Yvette and francine. In addition to providing them with some drugs to prevent and treat sexually transmitted diseases, they are also given psychological counseling. For Francine and Yvette, their blooming flower of life may have lost its vitality.
