Human trafficking. At many this word associates with an exotic country in which people sell in slavery on a plantation, construction or in a brothel. However the countries of CIS have now faced the phenomenon " trade of people" also. For example, Kyrgyzstan.

Walk on evening Osh. And near any cafe, shop, the House of a life you will necessarily notice congestions of young women. Points on "line" where trade female bodies, in city much. Trade in saunas, hotels, hostels, in-home …

Prostitution have named sex - business. But business it becomes only for those who is the owner of female body. And for the majority of the women transformed into the goods, is not business, it is slavery. They get in it like differently, but actually - under the similar circuit. Usually girls entice promises to employ the seamstress or the waitress, entice an opportunity quickly to earn decent money. Girls agree and - get on "line".

According to Osh public fund "Girlfriend", in southern capital of Kyrgyzstan sex - service render approximately one thousand women from sixteen years and more senior. Almost thirty percent from them - inhabitants of frontier areas of Uzbekistan who come to Osh in searches of work. Anybody from these girls, as they said, did not aspire to be engaged in prostitution. But - compelled to do it.

In night Osh they base in the certain points of sex - service, under supervision of "mothers". Seldom who from them works for themselves, usual on the owner, more truly, the mistress who disposes their bodies.

At first sight, the life of visitors - "moths" almost not differs from a life of local sex - working women. But they are citizens of other country, and it complicates their position. They are timid and closed, compelled to be very cautious, and to cause them on frankness uneasy.

On offers to work in Osh agree, basically, those uzbek girls whom in a native land holds nothing. One of them, for example, has told, that when her mother has died, father has come with other woman to house, and the daughter has expelled. the girl could not, find work in Andizhan and in comparison with the Andizhan salaries even low, to the Kyrgyz measures, earnings in Osh counts good.

Having arrived to Osh, the girl has come into the hands of "mistress". To select at the new working woman the passport and to persuade her "only to try" - is simple. Not seeing other exit, the girl has agreed and became the sex - goods.

Approximately same histories tell also tens other Uzbek women becoming victims of human trafficking. Them hide on apartments. "Mistress" feed them , dress at own discretion, buy cigarettes and alcoholic drinks if it is necessary. But do not give money to hands : "girls" all over again should fulfil on the "mistress" which has provided them with work.

Mistress know, how "to put" their slave "on the counter". During special militian spot-checks many sex - working women get in the receiver - allocator, whence they are redeemed by "mums", that is mistresses. And detain girls not for prostitution, it is not forbidden by the law in Kyrghyzstan. Can take away for any administrative offence. For example, that girls do not have passports. The mistress spreads for clearing of "working woman", say, one thousand soms (approximately 25 US dollars), and to the girl informs, that "has redeemed" her for five thousand which should be fulfilled now. Thus, the counter is "on", and it can be wound somehow for a long time - while the girl will not cease to be in demand and repaid. Or yet she will not be needed to the mistress and then she will find a way to throw out her on street. But if the girl is nice and at clients in great demand to escape for her is impossible.

- On they to us usually are informed employees of the receiver - allocator where such girls get for infringement of a passport and visa mode, - Alisher Mamazhanov, the head of youth association

"Golden goal" speaks, one of which projects is devoted to work on prevention of human trafficking - they are all without documents. But to the, citizens of Kyrgyzstan, we still can help to restore the passport if they ask about it , and to citizens of the next state - can not... Quite often visitors-girls appear hackneyed, in fact mistresses address with them severely. Those to whos life is threatened with danger, we suit in sheltor - a refuge for victims of human trafficking. But to come back home anybody from visitors usually does not want. Because at house anything good even if there they have family does not wait. Usually these girls do not have education, and to find work in a native land they do not hope. Of the parents are afraid: find out, of in what their daughters were engaged abroad, will damn. But necessarily there will be a person who will tell about it, - the girlfriends give out. And then the girl cannot seem to parents on eyes any more. And in marriage such girl nobody will take.

Into fund "Girlfriend" come, we shall tell so, "free" women - that have passport and they work on themselves. Such is a little. They come in fund for condoms or for a direction on free treatment. The local surgeon has told in private conversation, that many young women passed operations which at all deprive with their opportunity to have further children. And doctors, according to our interlocutor, at once can define, who before them, - on a degree of neglect of disease: sexual sphere of sex - working women is in an awful condition from a different sort of venereal diseases. Girls instead of being treated, continue to leave on "line". And their genital bodies subsequently only remains to cut out. Of protective means care not everyone. What for, if in exchange for "left in circulation" working women mistress can find two new at once ?

Girls expect, that will earn money, become free and will throw the dirty craft. But the bog under the name sex - business tightens them forever. As local "moths", and those who comes in Osh in searches of the best share. This bog erases the person, breaks mentality. Units are pulled out from him.

"Beauty" Dzhulija Roberts - a great American fairy tale, cheated not one naive little girl. Russian "Interdevochka" is closer to true. But also it not seems so terrible what the reality is.

Each new day increases number of those who hands over the body in a trade turnover.
