Global Post: Moldova covered in an editorial on "The Myth of the Happy Hooker"

The Global Post recently posted an editorial entitled "The Myth of the Happy Hooker," which covers the sex trafficking trade in Moldova and other Eastern European countries.

An excerpt:
"They made the first girl stand in the middle of the room. They ordered her to take off her top. She hesitated so they beat her. Then it was my turn. I lifted my top for a second and pulled it right down. Then I noticed the curtains fluttering out the open window…. Time slowed. I heard a ringing in my ears and the room faded. I remember that I said a prayer — ‘God give me wings.’ I ran across the room and jumped over the men on the couch and out the window.”

The full story can be read here.
