The daily crime against humanity

I drove from Olongapo City to Subic town recently and pointed to a journalist the row of shuttered, dilapidated and closed-down sex bars that lined the road at Calapadian. It is evidence of the success of an anti-trafficking operation conducted by the Preda Foundation social workers with the help of the Philippine police and an agent of the US Homeland Security. About 15 young girls were rescued from the horrible life of forced prostitution.

Some younger minors, so traumatized after being trapped and abused for over a year in this kind of sex slavery, were in need of therapy, support, compassion, friendship and hope for a better life. They came to the Preda home for girls and have made a recovery and are empowered to testify.
