This is shocking and outrageous. I commend this brave woman who has brought to light an extremely important human issue. I am grateful for this information.

Though I have been aware of "modern day slavery" issues for the past 10 years, the shock value never seems to wear off. nor should it. i hope others watch this as well as Melissa Bradley-Burns' documentary on the prostitution scene in Dubai:

http://www.pbs.org/frontlineworld/ro...sex_for_s.html

Very powerful stories. The Fora.tv presentation on forced prositution and the Frontline documentary on how the economic situations of the subjects creates a reality for them should at least spark quite a few interesting conversations.

How others seem to place such a low "value" on the lives of others and sometimes themselves amazes me.
