Young Cara had been tricked. The promise of work in a feign land had sounded exciting and wild, and she was willing to give it a try. She sailed for days and night’s and received little food, but they promised her more when they got to Britain. If you haven’t figured it out yet Cara has been tricked. The promise of work sounded good and in her hometown there was little money to go round, but she has signed herself up for a worse fate.


Cara, as many women have, will be forced to preform sexual deeds for money .She will become a prostitute or become a house slave locked away somewhere. Her life will be a living hell. Many young women have fallen for the same fate, as young as 13, and as old as 30 the only thing they can do is wait, wait for a time when they can escape. For a time their guards are injured or valuable. They will have too run for their life most head for the police but few that decide to head off on they own are quickly found and put to death by the very people that brought them here. If they head to the police they are questioned and the police quickly try to find the place in order to rescue any other women.

Well it may be just me but I hoped that this was the end of the story, that these poor women will be able to get help and go home but is anything ever as simple as that?


Well at least one part of the story can bring hope, they get help, the police contact a charity that help women that are shipped into the country and use in the prostitution trade. Many girls are scared, bruised and terrorised they have been in the UK weeks, months, and even years.
What a welcome we have given them. We have this stereotype of girls that sell themselves, well I’m telling you that is not always true, not all chose that life. Some are forced and we can claim the white collar of innocents, we can say we didn’t know. But that doesn’t mean we are innocent. We allow these girls to be abused like this, We judge them and we allow this negative image of them to be the truth in our eyes but the real truth is that we can stop this, if we wanted too .we need to take a few seconds out of our life’s not to focus on our problems, but to think of other people, then we have got rid of half the problem…. Us, and our damaged way of thinking.


Sadly that’s not the end of the story some of the girls after arriving at the safe house some commit suicide knowing no other way out, while others go back to the life of prostitution knowing no other way to live, trapped in this illusion that they are useful for nothing else.


If you remember anything, remember that what lie behind us and what lies in front of us are little things compared to what lie in us, for life is too short to only care about yourself.
