Ambitious Females Tricked into Joining Sex Trade (for, Like, 5 Minutes)

To demonstrate what human trafficking can be like, STOP THE TRAFFIK went to a career fair in London and invited young women into a “gallery” of top jobs abroad.

The women found themselves in a red light district-style window, feather boa included. We can only imagine the five excruciating minutes of mortification they must have felt after they realized what was going on.

This is pretty much how many women get into the sex trade. They’re talked into a decent-wage job opportunity and take the plunge. The difference is, they can’t walk back out and giggle about it later.

The effort was orchestrated by Duval Guillaume, Antwerp. It reminded us of this anti-trafficking South African effort, which also made use of bummed-out people in shop windows.
