Gangs Join Forces To Prostitute Women

CNN Freedom Project is doing an excellent job raising awareness and trying to end human slavery. Gangs in Oceanside, California has called a truce in order to sell women.

Here's a profile of one woman
Jessica worked as a prostitute in the booming internet sex trade. But she didn't work for herself. She says she had a pimp who set a quota of $1,000 a day – money that took about 10 dates to earn.
Jessica told me she was afraid of her pimp who is a gang member. If she didn't work, she didn't eat, saying she once went 5 days without food.
Needless to say Black women are very hard on Black men. Black men do not mince words when it comes to Black women either. Nonetheless, there is something to be said about men as a whole that they have missed/dropped/burned the ball when it comes to how they treat women. These men didn't drop their weapons because they grew up and realized that that lifestyle was hazardous to their own lives let alone the lives of others. They didn't drop their weapons because the prison system 'corrected' them. They dropped it to sell women, mostly underage girls, to each other and to others AND ARE MAKING MONEY. This is not in Thailand or Mozambique or Peru. This is happening in good-ole USA where men are supposedly 'modern' and 'enlightened. Needless to say, the majority of the victims of slavery and human trafficking are women and children. My question is this: What did women do so wrong that men so boldly do these and other actions ALL OVER THE WORLD? It breaks my heart to write this but WHY DO MEN HATE WOMEN? Men will never admit that they hate women but if I was a Martian and I were looking at a news report on Planet Earth I would seriously think that those creatures who are taller and have no protruding parts up top must detest those shorter creatures because clearly there is something wrong.

All women want to do is be loved, appreciated, supported, valued, and serve peacefully with men but all they get is violence and abuse. One blogger once wrote 'why are Black women's lives not treasured?' I would hasten to say NO WOMEN'S LIVES ARE TREASURED.  I was gonna say that at least white women might be treasured a little more than others. White men can at least can admit that theres a certain way you treat women and girls. They at least keep their disgressions private because there is a shame in treating women and girls as if they are lower than dirt. They sorta value their daughters just as much as their sons. However, I am sure that these gangs' chief customers come in every shade of the rainbow. Oceanside is 65% White, 35% Hispanic. You do the math. Mail-order bride sales are usually by white men purchasing Asian women who are seemingly more 'submissive'. Yes, (White) men can purchase brides like they order a book off of Amazon. NO WOMENS LIVES ARE VALUED...not like God intended them to be valued. Not even close.

Always notice how violence against women is reported. The tragedy is never attributed to men as a collective but the individual man. Men are afforded the luxury of being individuals even though they as a collective produce the most havoc. If trafficking and slavery is a major issue and the major victims are women at the hands of men, shouldn't there be something to investigate the wiles of men? What has caused this? How can it be changed? No, its always. Oooh thats a shame. Nothing more. nothing less. Let's rescue the girls from the man/group of men instead of changing the mindset of men on a global scale. Because people have been programmed to believe men are the 'head' of the human foodchain, they rarely get called out as a collective. 'They're not all that bad' simmers our better judgements.  Women are an OPRESSED GROUP NO MATTER WHAT COUNTRY THEY LIVE IN. Oppressed people would rather change themselves (pull your skirt down, don't stay out too late) than challenge the dominant group. And men also subscribe to that thinking. Women need to raise their daughters right, teach them who to date, etc instead of checking other men and their violent behavior.
The activist in me doesn't even know how to end this because I know all the suggestions would be thrown out because women are so conditioned to 'need' men and men have no problem using physical force against women in the name of order, I really do not know where to start in terms of offering suggestions to changing the collective hatred of women that men demonstrate. Like I said before, I would be hard pressed to find a man that says he hates women. However, ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.

Here's how to help .
