Seduced into slavery

Swept off her feetThe second in a series of MTV Exit videos we are sharing on our blog, this piece by Black Iris and Bethany Cosentino conveys a vicious reality with startling accuracy. Hundreds of thousands of women are courted and seduced by traffickers, lured by romance and the intoxicating promise of marriage and a new life of prosperity in a foreign land. Once they arrive, they meet a very different reality.

Every year, 640,000 women and children are tricked into slave labor and prostitution. These stories span the globe; from China, Nepal, South America and Eastern Europe to the UK, US and Canada. They are closer than you think, and crueler than you imagined.
