"A trafficker recruited Nina, a 19-year-old from southeastern Europe, to work as a waitress, but then raped, beat,
and drugged her, forcing her into prostitution. After a daring escape, her trafficker hunted her down and kidnapped her. Taken
into custody during a police raid, Nina agreed to be a witness against her trafficker. The police officer assigned to protect
her gave away her location and her trafficker threatened her life. At the trial, she was forced to sit next to her traffickers
and was insulted and humiliated by the judge and defense counsel. Her pimps were found guilty but released on appeal. For
her own survival, Nina has fled to another country and assumed a new identity"
"Uzma was trafficked from South Asia to a Middle Eastern country to work as a domestic. Her employer took her papers,
beat her regularly, and gave her little food. Male relatives began sexually abusing her and then took her to hotels, forcing
her to have sex with up to ten men over the course of a few days. She was locked in the house and never paid. She escaped
when a young boy opened the door. She was picked up by police, who ordered her employers to send her back to her country.
The employers sent her back, but only after three more days of prostituting her."
