All the while, parents of stolen children are painfully aware of what has happened to their daughters, what shame and indignity their daughters are forced to endure - and they can do nothing. They have no voice. They do not have our freedoms. And those women sold into slavery have no voice. Their freedoms are taken from them. Whether they are American women and children, they will suffer the same fate as the poorest of the poor taken from remote villages in the far corners of the globe.

hey are all mistreated in the same way. They are all seen as human commodities, good only for serving as many as 10-12 men a day, every day until they die of AIDS or are killed because they are sick or pregnant. All these women are told that if they try to escape, a call will be made back home where their family or their child will be killed. If they attempt to escape, they or their families will be killed. If they commit suicide, their family will be killed. If someone attempts to help them, their family will be killed.
