TRABZON, Turkey The women arrive here by ferry from across the Black Sea, sometimes dozens at a time. Whatever their real names, they are known in Turkey as Natashas, and often end up working as prostitutes in this country's growing sex trade.
...
More than 200 trafficked women were identified in Turkey last year but the authorities said they represented as little as 10 percent of the women actually bought and sold.
...
"Once they are across the border their passports are taken away and they are beaten and raped and forced into prostitution," he said. The women are typically kept locked in an apartment except when they are taken out to customers.

Reminiscent of the Israeli slave trade, reported in March:

The report described how the women are sold at public auctions for as much as $10,000 and forced to work up to 18 hours a day.

Supply and demand, right?

Imagine the headlines if there were Mexican sex slaves in the States, or Arabian sex slaves in Europe.

[sarcasm] Oh, but there must be some mistake here. There is no longer any need to fight for human rights because everything is just peachy keen these days.

Right? [/sarcasm]
