Saminasha’s Ilog

The article on sex-slavery is a very good one. I think everyone should read it.

Just two days earlier, her parents heard from Suri (they call her by her nickname) for the first time since she disappeared. ’’She’s in Queens, New York,’’ the mother told me breathlessly. ’’She said she was being kept in a house watched by Colombians. She said they take her by car every day to work in a brothel. I was crying on the phone, ’When are you coming back, when are you coming back?’ ’’ The mother looked at me helplessly; the father stared blankly into the distance. Then the mother sobered. ’’My daughter said: ’I’m too far away. I don’t know when I’m coming back.’’’ Before she hung up, Suri told her mother: ’’Don’t cry. I’ll escape soon. And don’t talk to anyone.’’

This is heart-rending :(((
