10 Dark and Depressing Facts About Slavery p2
Much of Online Porn Features Enslaved Women, Often From Southeast Asia or Eastern Europe. Porn is considered a totally victimless vice by most people, and in a lot of situations this is indeed the case.
For example, if you know it was properly and legally made in the United States, you know no one is being trafficked or used as slave labor.
However, much of the porn available online comes from very questionable sources all over the world, and it is hard to estimate just how much of it involves people who were coerced into what they are doing.
Unfortunately many of the countries like Russia, China, and regions like Southeast Asia and Eastern Europe produce a lot of porn and are also known for being some of the worst for trafficking in the entire world.
In the Philippines, they have had a recent problem where young girls are tricked into revealing small amounts of themselves online, and then are blackmailed further until they are in too deep and forced to show more and more.
In other words, they are being tricked into slavery online, and starting out forced into online pornography. After that, they are slowly graduated to being forced to perform physical acts and being entirely under the control of gangs of traffickers.
And while most people tend to think of sex slaves as only being used as prostitutes, some trafficked victims, such as some in Japan, are also forced to work as nude dancers.
Slavers do not limit the people they abuse to just one avenue of exploitation, but try to use them as fully as possible. The world of trafficking is a very evil and cruel place.
Some Electronics Manufacturers in China Imprison Their Workers and Treat Them Like Real Slaves.
Foxconn is a company in China known for making lots of products for Apple, and being one of the worst employers in the world.
The international light was shed on them when it came out that people were being forced to work 12+ hour shifts, were not being allowed to leave, were forced to live on campus, and that suicide attempts and actual suicides were common.
The world called on Apple to force Foxconn to clean things up, but they really only made token efforts in order to save as much face and get the attention off their backs.
Even after the entire thing was over, they felt that the scrutiny was unfair and undeserved. The main complaint and issue was that they used mostly student interns, who were basically slaves.
While they could leave at any time, they were basically forced against their will to work for Foxconn by their schools, because they had a worker shortage. If they did not work, they were told they would not graduate.
When suicides became a problem, instead of fixing the long, abusive work days, they installed nets to stop the jumpers so they wouldn't lose valuable slaves to the concrete below.
As far as Foxconn is concerned, students are a resource for making phones, and education comes second.
To imagine how crazy this really is, imagine if a university in the United States told you that you would not graduate if you didn't go work as an intern at a local factory for free – learning absolutely nothing that has to do with your area of study.
Child Trading is an Under the Table But Far Too Common Practice That Helps Trafficking Thrive.
One of the most bizarre and horrible things on our list is the people in the United States who have basically made a game out of exchanging children that they don't want anymore.
These people are known for adopting children, usually from outside the United States and that often have behavioral problems, and trying to raise them as their own.
They quickly get frustrated because they are not cut out for it, and instead of doing a reasonable thing like contacting a proper foster agency about the situation, they take part in something called "private re-homing" where they go to online bulletin boards and advertise the kid as if they are an unwanted pet.
These children are then given away with nothing more than a notarized statement saying who the child's new guardians are, with no real vetting of the new parents and no real paper trail for the authorities to follow.
As you might imagine, many of these children end up disappearing, trafficked away to be a slave, because some parent out there treated a kid as if he was a puppy that they could just trade away.
While there are attempts to shut these people down, they will always find ways to communicate with each other, and have helped create the vast network of underground slave children in the United States.
The sad thing is that while all of these people are criminally negligent, most of them seem to truly not understand the gravity of their actions or what an awful thing they are doing to the child.
Au Pairs in the USA are Usually Treated as Slaves and Have Little Legal Recourse.
Au pairs are foreign workers who come to the country and live with a family for a time, helping them with domestic duties such as babysitting, cleaning and cooking.
The idea is that the au pair will be given meals, a very small stipend to buy things occasionally, and of course will not have to worry about rent because they have a place to live.
Unfortunately, au pair programs are rife with abuse, and many au pairs are basically treated like chattel – slaves to be used as needed, and threatened into submission if necessary.
Many au pairs report being denied meals they are legally entitled to, and told they will have to buy their own.
Many have been screamed at and abused horribly, only to have very little legal recourse, as it is usually their word against the hosts.
To make matters worse, complaining either to the host or to anyone else usually ends up with retaliation and threats to send them back to their home country right away.
The sad thing is that au pairs are basically the new indentured servants, and are treated with almost no respect at all. It is a program that needs a huge overhaul to prevent the rampant abuse currently plaguing it.
The Spartans Were Brutally Cruel and Horrible to Their Slaves – The Helots.
The Spartans were known for being incredibly powerful warriors, and for great bravery on the battlefield. But when it came to their slaves, the Helots, they were incredibly cowardly.
The Helots were bound to the soil, serving on their master's land, unable to be sold or bartered. They worked for the Spartans and had no rights, but they also outnumbered the Spartans greatly.
This left the Spartans constantly worried that the Helots would revolt one day and bring about their downfall, so they made plans to keep them constantly in check.
They would regularly patrol around the borders of the Helots' land, looking for anyone who looked aggressive or troublesome, and would routinely humiliate and mistreat the Helots in order to keep them firmly in their place as slaves.
However, their crowning blow to the Helots to remind them regularly who was in charge, and to keep their numbers down, was ritual slaughter.
Once a year a day would be declared to kill Helots without any legal consequences, and many Helots would be slaughtered by young warriors practicing their stealth, in order to keep the Helots terrified and keep their numbers thinned.
Their fear was not entirely unwarranted, as the Helots did attempt more than once to change their situation, although they were never given their freedom.
