While there is demand, human trafficking cannot be broken

At the end, she stressed that without a change in people's attitude to the problem it cannot be resolved. I.e. while there is demand, the chain cannot be broken. "In the first place, it is not possible when we learn about such a case to simply wave a hand and say, "Well, now..." 16-year-olds understand that we cannot accept trafficking of people as something that just exists. Society must understand that it is about rape making someone rich. The second is the stereotype that "men are men." Children say it is like shrugging your shoulders and saying, "Well, thieves are thieves," when your car is stolen. I know a father of two children, who often travels abroad for a few days. I heard him say, "Cambodia? It is great there. For 100 euro, you can have a different child each night." Of course, I am not saying that this is happening constantly. Sometimes I think that I am going too far and then, I met with a researcher as Mimi Chakarova who has been making great efforts on this issue.

The third stereotype is that the woman does with her body whatever she wants. Yes, I agree with that. But can we talk about choice when they threaten you that if you do not do what you are told, they will harm you or your children. This is not a choice."
