The continued existence of slaves and slavery in this world reveals the bitter truth that countries sustain armies and security forces solely for their own self-interest - not for the defense of humankind.

That's a very ignorant thing to say.

You need to read about how the IMF works and basically learn some history.

If i listen to you then it's your own fault if you're in a corrupt and/or poor country.

Maybe you also think that the IMF helps the poor countries...eh?

All i can say is help yourself & do the world a favour: get rid of your ignorance on the matter & you will spare us your flawed judgement.

This man's name is Benjamin E. Skinner. He's the author of the book, A Crime So Monstrous. And yes, he is one of the abolitionists who finds out how and where to look for human exploitation. He has at times pretended to be one of the human traffickers to make the other traffickers not suspect him. He's telling the truth.

Thailand is # 1 in Sex Slaves . Most young girls are trafficked from Laos. In case you don't know where Laos is. It is between Thailand and Vietnam. Anyway, these young girls are sold into prostitution, sex slaves every day. Laos is the most corrupted and is a Communist country. People standard of living is less than $1 dollar per day. Also, there are many sexual predator from the West often travel to Thailand to have sex with these young girls.

Evil Place!
