World Cup to Slave Trade?

World cup sex slave fears

May 19 - Swedish police are drafted in to help combat a threatened increase in sex slavery for the World Cup.

Brothel owners in the host nation, Germany, are gearing up for a boom in the horizontal economy when the World Cup gets into full swing.

An army of prostitutes is waiting with open arms for soccer fans who need to wind down in the red light districts of the 12 host cities.

But the prospect of a sharp rise in business has raised fears of a corresponding rise in sex slavery to meet demand.

Paul Chapman reports.

SOUNDBITE: Thomas Bodstrom, Swedish Justice Minister, saying (English):
"There are young girls who are used like they are worth nothing and it is more a form of slavery and we must do all we can to stop this."

I find it very interesting when Muslim women keep hearing the entire hubbub about how we are so mistreated in our culture in the East, but yet stories like the one above pops up about a prostitution problem in the West; namely Germany. And then you hear the possibility of a sex slavery trade. Even going so far as enlisting the help of Sweden to combat this possible problem.

What is even worse is the name and people associated with the World Cup are involved in such a scandal as this. Women even being used to advertise to entice men to watch or participate in a sport are not only degrading to them, but to the men also.

I really think the West should look towards their growing problems and stop focusing on the lack of problems that is going on towards women in the East.
