sex trade
"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", firstly read the novel because of its inevitable popularity, especially after the death of its author, Stieg Larsson. God bless his girlfriend and father who disputed Stieg Larsson's fortune. A friend once declined to see the movie because she saw couples of people read the book in the same NYC metro. However, I joined the mass and bought the book. It was such a page turner then I bought the second title "The Girl Who Played with Fire" for my kindle. The second book is about trafficking, and found this quotation very true, on sex trade: "..Nor is there any other form of criminality in which social acceptance is so great, or which society does so little to prevent."
I talked to several guy friends, and some of them admitted they visited Alexis at least once in the last five years (that's what they said). You could also ask your friends, have they used prostitutes, ever, in their life. Add that with what they call "entertaining clients" in business and government deals. Do they use women? There are a big chance that the women are trafficked, because, like what I remember from one seminar, "Nobody wakes up in the morning and decides that they want to be a prostitute."

Teori kenapa trafficking is widely ignored: because it is a part of the most basic human needs. For both sex, in a way.
yes for both sex, I put women here because they are the majority of the victims.
Fulfilling basic human needs is understandable. I don't negate people's needs for sex. But, when it is encouraging exploitation of humans (when the victims are usually in debt bondage, made addicted to drugs so they cannot leave, passport/IDs being taken away from them,live in a shack for twenty people sometimes with bolts), I think it's no longer justifiable.
This video for MTV Exit by The Killers shows what's not glamorous about being a high class prostitute.
