Women to be Trafficked as Sex Slaves to the World Cup in Germany
ETA: Edited thanks tomefnord. I'm kinda rushed, so please also see her comments!
Your help urgently needed to stop this outrage....
Dear Colleague,
I urgently need you to read this email regarding an alarming development in Germany and then FORWARD IT TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW who will help us prevent this unfolding tragedy.
From June 9 - July 9, 2006, just a few weeks from now, 12 German cities will host the world soccer championship World Cup Games.
Approximately 3 million soccer fans - mostly men - will attend.With official support from the German government [I'm very glad that this isn't true!], up to 40,000 young women will be "imported" from Central and Eastern Europe into Germany to "sexually service" the men. [this figure is in all likelyhood exaggerated. Still, it's a bad thing.]
These women come from desperately poor circumstances. According to reports, most will not speak German. Most are being "sex trafficked" against their wills. They are told that they are going to be models, waitresses, or some other harmless occupation. Many will be brutally assaulted by intoxicated fans.
Whatever their circumstances, each and every one of these young women is someone's daughter, a child of God and deserves our protection!
They DO NOT DESERVE to be exploited and sentenced to a life of misery to satisfy the sexual appetites of soccer fans.
This is a massive assault on women and should be opposed by every Christian and every person who believes in human dignity!
• Prostitution is legal in Germany. But their legal red light districts will be too small for the thousands of sport/sex tourists attending the World Cup games. The German sex industry has erected a massive prostitution complex for the "booming business" expected during the games. [Dunno about that one. Probably exaggerated. ]
•The Germans [that is - some pimps who are probably German] have already built a mega brothel in Berlin, right next to the main World Cup venue to accommodate 650 male clients. Wooden "sex huts" called "performance boxes" that look like toilets have been built in fenced-in areas the size of a football field, with condoms, showers and parking for the buyers and a special focus on protecting their "anonymity." [The boxes are to stop the girls working on the streets, so not all bad... still, they shouldn't have to work in that business at all.]
• It is estimated that as many as 30% of the soccer fans will visit prostitutes "at least once. Sexual activity on such a massive scale is highly likely to spread STD's. Some of the infected fans will come back to the U.S. -- and we could have another major flare up of HIV/AIDS as well as other STD's.
C-FAM, speaking for millions of Christians around the world is conducting this urgent, massive, self perpetuating email campaign to international public support against this outrage.
PLEASE - ADD YOUR NAME AND VITAL INFORMATION TO THE ATTACHED PETITION AND RETURN IT TO ME HERE AT C-FAM. We are urgently collecting names of concerned individuals all over the world to be delivered to
• The German Mission to the United Nations,
• The German Embassy in the United States,
• The German Mission to the European Parliament,
• Our pro-family friends in the German Parliament.
• We will also send them to the governing body of the World Cup Games.
PLEASE do it now - the World Cup games will begin just a few weeks from today.
THEN PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL AND ATTACHED PETITION TO EVERY CARING CHRISTIAN AND PERSON OF CONSCIENCE YOU KNOW!
If everyone I'm writing to today responds as energetically as they can we can conceivably deliver a final petition to the German government containing MILLIONS OF NAMES from around the world.
And that's the kind of massive effort it will take to prevent this crime against 40,000 young women subjected to the horrors of prostitution.
PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE THIS EMAIL. DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE OF THINKING SOMEONE ELSE WILL "TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM." Your voice does make a difference and is urgently needed today.
Thank you! God bless you for your help. Please remember this vital mission in your prayers.
