    Sold as a bride, Natasha Masih was taken to China, where her new husband locked her into a hotel and forced her into prostitution. “I bought you,” he told her. @kgannon talks to Pakistani women who endured trafficking in the guise of marriages. http://apne.ws/0MahoHf

        We are surprised this happens in a culture that views women as chattel? Where they shame the women for the disgrace it caused the family and government won’t do anything because of $. We should all be disgusted. Nothing good will come if you continue to devalue women.

        Would you like to substantiate this description of China, friend? Because whatever country you live in, I guarangoddamntee there are women, whether local or trafficked, entrapped into sex work by local men right there in your own home town.
