What I want (dream about)...

In the little land of make believe inside my head what I really want, what I think about more than being a doctor/nurse, is running through a Thai brothel Rambo style and rescuing the 8 year old girls who are being raped to death. I realize that this is totally not going to happen, and that it is just the little dream world that I live in. But still, there has to be something I can do.

These little girls whose soul has been ripped from their bodies, who have no hope, no faith, no reason to live need to be saved. I would give anything, risk everything to be able to save them, to give them a chance. I cry for them, spend sleepless nights thinking of them, praying for them, some days I am so angry I can't even focus.

For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, it is called Human Trafficking, specifically I am most passionate about the sexual exploitation of young, elementary school aged girls being sold into brothels, the lucky ones might be sold to some pervert to be his personal sex slave. I say lucky because they are less likely to be exposed to the same multitude of diseases, although maybe disease might be preferred so they can die and not endure anymore torture.

Estimates from different sources say anywhere from 700,000 to over a million living, breathing, feeling, humans are sold. Often what happens is men will come to poverty stricken villages and promise families a chance at an education and good job as a domestic for their daughters. These families, in desperate circumstances, send their little angels, princesses, pumpkins, cutie pies, some not even old enough for kindergarten, with these men. They are then taken to other countries, where they are sold to perverts.

The girls maybe locked in a room barely bigger than a refrigerator box or they may be placed
in one large common room where men look at them through a window and chose the soul they are going to destroy. On a good night they may only be raped five or six times, but some may endure as many as 25.

These girls may go months or years without seeing the light of day. They will be beaten both by their owners and the men they "service". They will likely never see their families again. They will be exposed to countless diseases and infections.

I cannot bear sitting here while this is happening. Injustice is not a big enough word. God is pissed. Action needs to be taken.

Check out this little video, there are many videos out, but this is one of the more recent ones that I have found from organizations working to stop trafficking.
