The documentary, "Sex Slaves" that appeared on Frontline is a great investigative report and seems to be quite accurate.  This past summer, I've been to both Spain, and Odessa,  Ukraine.  In Spain, I've met this student from Turkey who asked me where I was from. When I told him that I am Moldovian but live in the U.S., he told me that if I ever go to Turkey not to ever reveal that I am from Moldova because people will automatically assume that I am a prostitute.  After my trip to Spain, I went to Odessa, Ukraine with my sister and my brother-in-law because that is his native country. Odessa exhibits a wide gap between the rich and the poor.  In one city, you can witness BMW's and cellphones and feel sorrow from the poor teenagers selling watermelons on the streets.  It is a city and yet a small village. After seeing this documentary and seeing the streets I've walked on and the port I took photographs at, did it really hit me that this place is a perfect location to transport humans to Turkey, being that it is right across the black sea.  We also had a friend from Moldova visit us in Ukraine because we couldn't visit our native country because we were scared that we might get killed in return for money these people might rob us off.  She told us about several women from our village who were trafficked. People know about it, she explained to me as I asked her if everyone knows what is happening in Turkey, then why do people fall for it?; but the economy is so bad and they don't understand how bad the circumstances can become, they agree to go abroad. They agree to go abroad in hopes of helping their families and putting food on the table but in reality, they may never see their children again.  Reading the comments on the website for the documentary, I was absolutely disgusted by one viewer who said that most of these women go to Turkey voluntarily.  They go to Turkey on their will but they are tricked into why they are being imported there. They think they will be waitressing there and they have no idea what awaits them. Even when I was living in Moldova, my parents and many parents went to countries such Poland, Italy, Romania to sell goods and to work because the pay in Moldova is not enough to feed the entire family. This is a popular method to make money and I had no idea that human trafficking took place there since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Many of these people may indeed, not know. They may not be educated or have a choice to go to school because money is needed more than education.
