Imported for my body: The African women trafficked to India for sex - BBC Africa Eye documentary

BBC Africa Eye uncovered an illegal network that lures women to India from Africa, where they are then forced into sex work to satisfy the demands of the many African men living in Delhi.
The women are mostly from Kenya, Uganda, Nigeria, Tanzania and Rwanda.
One woman, Grace, who was trafficked from Kenya, agreed to go undercover.

Hi

[@Seneditiz]

It wouldnt be a problem if it would be legal and the state could supervise its smoothness, like any other work. The alcohol prohibition in the '20 just brought crime and gangs to the market. Until these girls cant get proper education to get proper jobs; they should be allowed (and not forced by gangs) to sell what they have for a better future.

[@zoer7338]

The end of the Documentary, while lovely for Grace, was deeply unsatisfying because no mention was made of whether or not she risked her life for nothing. This video is 4 years old and yet not a word about whether there were any repercussions for the traffickers.

[@ArmantoAlex13]

@@zoer7338I just came here wondering the same thing! What happened to these criminals? The BBC had video evidence of their crimes! Did nothing more happen? Grace was out of danger, so couldn’t they have pushed further to have these scum arrested? So disappointing that nothing else was said!! The corruption goes so deep in these countries. Our world is a cess pool thanks to the evil of men (and women) like these…all the way up to the highest office of government!

[@gryaznygreeb]

​@@Seneditizthat's a rather long winded way of saying you want to pay for sex because you can't get laid. No human should have to sell their dignity for their future. And you really think making the government the pimps in the situation would help? You're just proposing adding sex work as yet another major legal industry that can bribe and sway government officials to make laws in their favor, or ignore criminal misconduct. Governments are just people too, and they're subject to the same short comings and failure. Alcohol and drugs are easy to regulate as well. You can simply test them for harmful substances, and make sure manufacturing standards are followed. That's not easy at all when it comes to an entirely human driven and untestable industry. There is no simple way to evaluate the health or safety of someone, or how they are being treated. Just look at any cult or fundamentalist religious group. Look at all the abuse scandals that have happened in Hollywood and taken decades to come out. There's way more that we haven't heard about that never saw justice. People are easily coerced or bribed into staying silent about their mistreatment. You're just proposing that the government be allowed to make a profit from that misery, rather than seeking to eliminate the reasons people turn to it in the first place.

[@jocelynmushala9280]

This was so heartbreaking. Our young ladies are desperate for work and have no idea what is lurking and waiting for the vulnerability to show. I pray that our girls will use discernment when a proposition that seems too good to pass up is offered. Thank you for the documentary.

‘Trafficked to India for RAPE’. Sex implies consent. And the term sex workers is for people who independently, legally and willing work in the industry. Not those who are trafficked. They are victims and survivors - not ‘sex workers’. They are forced. The language used around sex trafficking and sex abuse is important because implying consent relieves the traffickers of responsibility and overall diminishes the gravity of the crime.
