This is an example of feminists and other groups exploiting the suffering of a small minority of vulnerable and abused women in order to further their own collective interests. For example, getting money from the government and Charity into their organizations. Rather than wanting to find the truth.
The government, media and anti-sex non profit groups will say that millions of people are sex slaves without doing any real research on the topic. Only taking the word of special interest anti-prostitution groups which need to generate money in the form of huge government grants from taxpayers, and charities. These “non profit” group’s employees make huge salaries, therefore they need to lobby the government, and inflate and invent victims in order to get more money into their organizations. If you look into how many real kidnapped forced against their will sex slaves there are, and not just take the anti-prostitution groups word for it. You will be very surprised.
Where are all the forced sex slaves? I would like to meet the millions of slaves and see for myself if they were kidnapped and forced against their will. How come
These groups lobby the government in a big way, getting Politicians to truly believe their lies.
A key point is that on the sidelines the adult prostitutes themselves are not being listened to. They oppose laws against prostitution. But no one wants to listen to the prostitutes themselves. Only to the self appointed experts that make up numbers and stories many of which have never met a real forced sex slave or if they did it was only a few. The media and government never ask the prostitutes themselves what would help them in terms of laws.

Hartford (WTNH) – The operator of a Connecticut, shoreline charity is in big trouble with the state. The operator of the Old Saybrook-based ” Ahava Kids” is accused of misusing thousands of dollars in charitable contributions.
A lawsuit was filed in Hartford Superior Court. It says that nearly half of the quarter million dollars in contributions collected by the charity in the past five years have been squandered.
It was a worker on the Ahava Kids website who apparently blew the whistle on the operator of the charity.
Raymond Bechard claimed to help victims of human trafficking and distribute AIDS medications to orphaned children in third world countries.
“This individual, essentially, wasted, squandered, misused and misappropriated this money,” said Attorney General Richard Blumenthal.
At one time, Ahava Kids operated from a small office in a building in Old Saybrook and, according to the lawsuit, they spent donated money in department stores, grocery stores, sporting goods stores, gasoline and ATM cash withdrawals.
In addition, it is alleged that Bechard operated four businesses out of his home on Bay View Road and channeled $67,000 through the phony firms called “Disciple Makers Workshop,” “Son Celebration,” “Gift Catalog Online,” and “Compel Communications.”
“As much as $100,000 was taken from the cause of aiding orphan children with AIDS and victims of human trafficking,” Attorney General Blumenthal said.
In a statment, a lawyer for Bechard said, “Any alleged financial disclosures, which are alleged to be inaccurate, have been rectified. We believe that the investigation and civil suit against Ahava Kids is misguided. It is unfortunate that the State of Connecticut is now focusing its resources to malign a small organization that has done so much good.”
The Attorney General also claims that this so called ‘safe house’ that Bechard told News Channel 8 the charity was operating has been seldom, if ever, used.
Bechard’s attorney said the safe house has been used three times. Attorney General Blumenthal is seeking repayment and penalties. The lawsuit was filed in coordination with the State Department of Consumer Protection.
