World cup vs human trafficking

The change.org says :

World Cup fever is everywhere, bringing hundreds of thousands of people from around the world to South Africa.

But not all of those people are tourists.

As many as 20,000 women have been trafficked into forced prostitution for the 2010 games in preparation for the influx of visitors. Some of these women entered South Africa on the promise of regular jobs, and upon arrival were drugged and held in private homes in preparation for "customers."

It's the tragic reality of a world in which millions of women are still treated as commodities to be bought, sold, and exploited at will.
