Captive Market

This article holds dear to my heart. Ive worked in Cheb before, going out on the streets and into the brothels and ghettos to give a hand to these girls who are entangled in prostitution.
I really believe we need to become more aware of what is happening in the world around us. It is a long article, but I suggest to read it because I believe it helps gives a voice for these girls and boys who do not have a voice for themselves as well as combating ignorance and apathy that are deep rooted in the ultimate reactions to human trafficking. So often we forget that we can make a difference, we have the priviledge of being safe and loved and having basic rights that every human deserves.

This article was written in 2006, before I went to Cheb. I can tell you many stories in depth of how this city I believe is changing for the better or if your'e just curious of what it is like. I have many pictures of Cheb, but they are all analog, but when I have the chance, maybe I'll scan some online. Also the one thing I think the writer left out is how we can personally make a difference. I have a friend who went to Ethiopia and just recently helped a few girls out of prostitution and assisting them by opening a coffee shop. I also know someone who is living and working in Cheb to help the people. If you are interested in giving back to people making a difference in these ladies lives, seriously, even if its just $15, let me know!
