Human trafficking in Amsterdam
A blogger from the Netherlands who visited prostitutes in Amsterdam was horrified to find that some of them are in the sex trade involuntarily - victims of human trafficking. And the cops and human rights organizations turn a blind eye to it.

Look around. Everything you buy is basically co-manufactured by slaves. The cacao in all the chocolate in the Netherlands is made by child-slaves in Africa. Yet we all eat chocolate....
I follow the debate about human trafficking in the Netherlands up close. I’ve made a horrific discovery. It turns out that the people who we
should trust most: the aid-workers, want the victims of human trafficking to be in the legal brothels. At least they are [safe] up there.
My favourite journalist Ruth Hopkins states that most of the prostitutes in the window-brothels in Amsterdam are slaves....
How can I know (the client) when a prostitute I visit is a real prostitute or a sex-slave when the good people want the victims to be there?

Oh, I feel ashamed. I think I expressed myself the wrong way.
The aid workers (and Ruth Hopkins) actually DO want human trafficking to be stopped. They only believe it's not realistic that the brothels where the human trafficking takes place should be closed down.
But this way they are actually saying to the clients and the brothel owners that it's okay to abuse victims of human trafficking. That's my idea basically.
Often the brothel owner knows a woman in his brothel is trafficked. But he/she doesn't do anything about it. This situation is unfortunately tolerated in the Netherlands. It's the like pot is handled in the Netherlands. It's forbidden to grow and transport weed (in large quantities). But it's okay to sell weed in coffeeshops. And it's okay to buy it.
