More than 70 aging women live in a squalid neighborhood between the rear gate of the U.S. Army garrison here and half a dozen seedy nightclubs. Near the front gate, glossy illustrations posted in real-estate offices show the dream homes that may one day replace their one-room shacks.
They once worked as prostitutes for American soldiers in this "camptown" near Camp Humphreys, and they've stayed because they have nowhere else to go. Now, the women are being forced out of the Anjeong-ri neighborhood by developers and landlords eager to build on prime real estate around the soon-to-be-expanded garrison. |
Hopefully some aid groups will step up and help these women out. It seems like local area churches could extend a helping hand or two. |

Or charged more for their services, or done like so many other prostitutes did and gotten married to that GI that would've gotten them a life in America. |

So they used to be whores and probably still would be if anyone would be willing to pay.
They seem to be squatters. Then they need to leave. If they own the land, they can refuse to sell. Simple as that. |
