Human trafficking exists mainly because of Western men

Finally someone has spoken and said what everyone knows but no one says openly.

Human trafficking for sexual purposes doesn't exist for any other purpose. It is a phenomenon that exists because of Western men. Women and even children are trafficked to the wealthy Westerners; they use them, they abuse them thus they are the real problem. Instead of trying to just work with the victims, it is time to face the root of the problem and do something about it.

A Lithuanian social worker made these brave comments in a recent conference of a leftist political group in Finland. She praised the same group for having decided to only use hotels absolutely pure of trafficking connections when travelling abroad.
- More of this policy would soon end the problem. She said.

The big receiver countries of trafficked women are Germany, Spain, Italy, Israel and the Scandinavian countries. Now Ireland and Great Britain are part of that club too. There is definitely more awareness but sadly no one dares go and cut the root of the problem. May be it is your father, brother or husband.

It is time to face the problem, whoever he is.
