Human Trafficking.

- After the illegal trade of drugs and weapons, human trafficking is the most profitable criminal act in the world today -

go see the movie. i was tempted to say women ESPECIALLY, but i've changed my mind. I feel that EVERYBODY should go watch it because whether we want to blind ourselves to it or not, it does happen. Watch it,then read this entry.

Underaged girls and boys(yes,boys too!) being taken away from their families against their will to become sex slaves. Their ages range from 11 years old to 21years old.They do not get paid, they do not get to go out, most of them do not live more than 4 years because they are either worked to death or contract diseases; anything from hepatitis to H.I.V.

Now, anyone who knows me knows that i'm pro-sex. i think there's a reason that prostitution is the oldest profession and i also think that porn is neccessary. However, i'm also pro-choice. And it shits me to know that there are human beings doing this horrific, gruesome, appalling thing to other human beings and profiteering off it!And do you know why they continue to do this?Because there is D-E-M-A-N-D for it.(C'mon people, Economics class wasn't that long ago)

THINK IT DOESN'T HAPPEN HERE?
'Malaysia is a destination, and to a lesser extent, a source and transit country for men and women trafficked for the purposes of sexual exploitation and forced labor. Foreign trafficking victims, mostly women and girls from the People’s Republic of China (P.R.C.), Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam are trafficked to Malaysia for commercial sexual exploitation. Some economic migrants from countries in the region who work as domestic servants and as laborers in the construction and agricultural sectors face exploitative conditions in Malaysia that meet the definition of involuntary servitude. Some Malaysian women, primarily of Chinese ethnicity, are trafficked abroad for sexual exploitation.
The Government of Malaysia does not fully comply with the minimum standards for the elimination of trafficking; however, it is making significant efforts to do so. Malaysia is placed on Tier 2 Watch List for its failure to provide evidence of increasing efforts to combat trafficking, particularly its failure to provide protection for victims of trafficking. ' - U.S. State Dept Trafficking in Persons Report, June, 2006.

So this is a plea to all the men out there: Please sirs, if you happen to travel to Thailand or the Philippines or even Malaysia..please make sure....ok, fuck this. it's stupid and if a guy's horny and sick then nothing i'm gonna say here's gonna make any difference, is it??

But i can say this.Educate your family.Your brothers, your sisters, your girlfriends, your children. Teach 'em to grow up smart and not end up like some Paris Hilton wannabe (even she's not that stupid!). Because Gen- Y'ers, this is our world. We are going to inherit it someday. And we should not be celebrating people who pretend to be stupid, or people who live for fame and glamour, or people who want to be stick thin or people who sell children for money!if you had to teach the future generation today what would you say?

better start preparing...:)
