This is news in Australia, 10 South Korean women have been rescued from Sydney brothels. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7282711.stm


But apparently 2 of the 5 arrested for forcing the 10 women into sex slavery are Women from South Korea!!!

Nice work treating fellow Koreans in a foreign country.

so you think that people that are involved in sex slavery should have the decency to look after there own?

Weird Koreans. They get caught doing all kinds of crap but it is us who are the criminals. One freaking pervert was in Korea and every white male is the same. I guess every Korean woman is a sex slave.
(Note the article said the women knew they would be going to provide sex as hookers...just they thought the conditions would be better )

Lied about work conditions, kept the girls passports...sounds like Koreans.

Hmm, I didn't know prostitution was legal in most of Australia.

Well, doesn't say much about the sex industry at home when it's able to survive and still export its workers abroad. Kind of like when a TV series does a spin-off, I guess. Just saw a program on TV last night that was looking at those naked noraebangs, saying that some parts of Seoul were becoming overfished because there are so many.

Anyway, I'm sure the captives will be right back out there. They are interested in working in that industry after all. Can't keep a Korean prostitute down! (wait . . . )

Prostitution is legal in most of Australia but regulated as if it were any other business: the brothels must be registered with the Government; provide secure, safe premises - which often happen to be close to police stations; pay taxes; provide superannuation and leave for its workers; abide with Australian workplace conditions - just like any other legitimate business. Hell, prostitutes most likely even have their own union back home! Registered sex workers in Australia must also have regular health screening for their own and their customers protection.

The problem comes from illegal prostitution venues which are often set up in inner-city apartments, suburban houses or industrial areas and do not register with the authorities and subsequently do not provide adequate care, conditions, pay for its workers and often intimidate them via blackmail, willful misinformation and/or abuse, all the while many huge sums of money through the trafficking, withholding of workers' money and tax evasion. These illegal prostitution venues are often also involved in sex trafficking of foreign nationals from SE Asia and East Asia, and sometimes Eastern Europe and Russia.

I believe legalized prostitution is the safest and most sensible way to treat prostitution as it is and has always been around and will never go away. It's best to have it out in the open and its workers properly cared for and adequately supported in a controlled, clean, relatively safe atmosphere having access to the rights of all other workers.

Unfortunately, even in countries with legalized prostitution illegal sex shops set up dodging the local laws and abusing their workers.

"....at the hands of other Koreans."

That was what I was referring to.
