So true and also very sad. I have seen some of these women here in SK. The Russian women stick out the most though.

It always saddens me to hear of such stories going on in the world. I really hope that someday these women will find the life and happiness they deserve.

"The government in Kathmandu is either ignorant or doesn't care about the plight of Nepali women."

The broker fees occur in Nepal. The initial sale is in Nepal.

The second-marriage/sale occurring in Korea, is the responsibility of Korea and is shameful.

Making the fact that even though we have those modern conveniences now, yet slavery still exists - in a "developed" country even - that much more sad.

Yeah, Canada, the U.S and Korea (along with other countries) really need to work on that and toughen up their laws.

governments don't care. Crime pays, the Government do their own Illegal trades everyday. IN bed with drug cartels, attacking countries, giving tax breaks to billionaires, and bailing out the banks..
you think they care about common people.. hahahaha
they never have.. they never will...
most money for charity comes from private donations.
Governments use tax dollars for WAR to create body counts, homeless children who are vulnerable for attack by poachers, and so forth.
isn't it funny how we can even feed humans! but we can spend trillions of dollars killing people instead.

but a little closer to home (the US prison system)....

This makes interesting reading and could be interpreted in a variety of ways...

Quote
"The prison industry complex is one of the fastest-growing industries in the United States and its investors are on Wall Street. "This multimillion-dollar industry has its own trade exhibitions, conventions, websites, and mail-order/Internet catalogs. It also has direct advertising campaigns, architecture companies, construction companies, investment houses on Wall Street, plumbing supply companies, food supply companies, armed security, and padded cells in a large variety of colors."

"According to the Left Business Observer, the federal prison industry produces 100% of all military helmets, ammunition belts, bullet-proof vests, ID tags, shirts, pants, tents, bags, and canteens. Along with war supplies, prison workers supply 98% of the entire market for equipment assembly services; 93% of paints and paintbrushes; 92% of stove assembly; 46% of body armor; 36% of home appliances; 30% of headphones/microphones/speakers; and 21% of office furniture. Airplane parts, medical supplies, and much more: prisoners are even raising seeing-eye dogs for blind people".

etc etc.

In Canada's defence a lot ( a lot, not all) of the trafficking is done by immigrants to other immigrants. For example in Orangeville, ON a Korean minister was trafficking in Korean women and women from other Asian countries to work as prostitutes through his Church. He was a Korean national with PR status in Canada. This problem has to do with our immigration system and letting criminals in that engage in this kind of business. The trafficking problem in Korea is a completely different dynamic. As far as I can see the country is much more "accommodating" for this kind of business due to the sophistication of the sex industry already in place.

I'm not saying Canada is better. We have our problems too but implying that Canada is just as bad as Korea if not worse is completely ridiculous. Your same same argument is stale.

+1

It's everywhere and in every country.

Do you remember when, walking in a small town, someone will accost you and ask if you want women ? If you are lonely? Just becuase you were an obvious rich foreigner ?

The same thing happens when you go to poorer parts of poor countries. You may be accosted to 'marry' or 'take' a young girl for money.

this sort of thing will exist as long as there are rich countries and poor countries

but both the rich country's and the poor country's government have an obligation to try and stop it from happening

Absolutely, 100% TRUE. No government actually cares about the people. These days, all countries who support the NWO only care about pushing this evil one world govt through. All govts are corrupt. They poison the food, water, medicine, make GMO Franken foods and just basically only care about their own selfish means. And they go around creating false terror attacks, like 9-11. Plus, I wouldn't be surprised if the US and South Korea did all this mess on Yeonpyeong-do just to blame it on North Korea. Because, guess what? The South actually admitted they fired the first shots last Tuesday...claimed they were doing drills/testing...WHATEVER. The US, South Korea and most countries govts are evil and corrupt. They take orders form the 13 Illuminati bloodlines, who plan to dominate the world and depopulate us all. Get people sick through the nasty chemicals in food and personal care products, dumb us down, get us sick enough to depend on big pharm/big brother/ and then laugh when 80% of the world's population is eliminated....there's something for people to think about...TSA losers will be spreading diseases by touching people and not changing gloves between passengers, dangerous scanners..it's all just beginning folks...we're just tasting pie. That ship incident in April too, was probably staged by the US and South Korea. The torpedo was made in Germany. They fired it into a South Korean ship and blamed it on the north. North Korea does not want to be part of the NWO...surprise, surprise....Research, research before you believe what CNN and FOX news tell you...which is mostly lies. Gues who tells them what to say??? The NWO puppet masters.
