Quoting alameda: All I'm saying is we just don't know what caused these women to be in this situation and I don't think we should judge them too hard. |

Quoting azade: There are always other alternatives, if it means working the hardest labour, so be it. |
That is exactly what they are doing - the hardest labour. I thank God I am not in the position of having to make such a choice. hmmm "choice" is probably an extremely inadequate word in this inatance.

I agree with alameda as well about not judging them and I know that they are often fooled into the trade and quickly get stuck in a vicious circle they can't get out of. It is the absolutely worst thing anyone could be subjected to.
Just forget it I don't know how to explain my view of this but I still think it would be better to work like a horse than do this. Maybe because of my religious views but nevermind, I'm really not trying to make these women look bad because I have the greatest symphaty with them.

Azade, I think it is easy to moralize if you've never even seen such extreme life conditions. I also disagree with this sort of behavior (under normal circumstances) because of my ethical views (NOT religious), but I think you cannot look at this issue in such linear ways. You can be sure that any one of those women would much prefer to have an industry job if she could.
What I'm more repulsed and disgusted by is the MEN who mistreat these women! MEN who violate these women, who treat them like sub-humans because they "pay for them". Those men are less then animals in my eyes, they have NO excuse whatsoever.
I think Peace train put it well saying that these women are already doing the hardest job.

I think I understand you Azade. It is just that I cannot judge them because, to use one of Femme's phrases, I would have to "walk in their shoes" first in order to begin to understand the extreme predicament they find themselves in.
Peace

Yes, and we should be VERY grateful we are not in their shoes and hope with from the deepest parts of our hearts we never get in those shoes.
