I used to believe that everyone had some piece of kindness and compassion

Today I read something that made me cry, something that hurt me so bad, even though it wasn't me, or my sisters, or my friends. I read an article about a place in México City, where women were raped and forced to work as prostitutes. The article was some kind of interview to 3 women that decided to talk about it, after it was closed and they were safe. They said that they have called them for a job in a restaurant, when they get there, they gave them drinks, then when they get dizzy they rape them, the owner, the guard guy, the waiter, etc. They get raped to see if they are in the conditions to work there, that means being sex slaves, rich people, politics, police man, people with power, go to that "bar", and if they feel it, they can rape the one they want. They hide them in a basement, they sleep 4 hours, they get drugged. If they are a good "businesses" they sell them for one night in a hotel to richest people and more powerful people, they are scared because they know that they paid so much that they feel like they own them. Girls not just from México, from Venezuela, Argentina, Colombia, relate that they hire them promising them enough money, and a job of just a "few dances". Once they get there, their life is over. If they try to escape, to call someone, to get help, they hit them, they threat them by hurting their kids or family, and in some cases they kill them.

And the story goes and goes. I've been knowing for a while that this things happen, not just in México. It wouldn't surprise me to know it happens in every country. But I will never ever understand, how someone could be so thirsty of money to do something like this, just for money. How someone could have the heart of kidnapping someone, rape them, take their freedom away, just so some stupid assholes can pay them and rape them, and "have fun".

I hate this so much, it made me cry. I hate this so much it makes me want to do something, it makes me want to help. But I don't know how. I feel so helpless it makes me feel stupid. I can't help imaging all the kids, woman and men, that are forced to this kind of things, the people that get raped and hurt by someone, just because they have so much money, they feel like they own them. How can I feel better, when the own government men are the ones that rape them, when this "powerful" people know about this and doesn't do anything, because they rather being quiet and keeping some of that money.

I've been investigating about this, and I've read a lot of comments that "they deserve it", the accepted a job in a table dance. But dancing is in fact very different that being raped, and being forced to have sex, being kid napped, being hurt physically and emotionally. It's just fucking different, and they weren't asking for it, how in hell could someone ask for that? The way they treated them was, is and never will be right, no matter what.

It makes me sick knowing about this, knowing that someone could have the heart to sell a woman, for money. Knowing someone could take someone freedom away, just for money. That someone could take some child innocence away, for stupid money. It makes me more sick knowing that government know this, and most of them don't do anything to help. People are so selfish that they are just interested in their own interests. These are the words to this, selfish and greedy; inhuman and ignorant; stupid and heartless; asshole and devil.

 Sometimes I get mad when my parents overprotect me, but when I read something like this I understand. And I wish it would never happen to me, or family, or friends, or anyone. I wish from the bottom of my heart, this could end, here and anywhere in the world.
