Spazzatura

Articoli come questo, che peraltro viene rimandato in rete anche da Google Alert, sono autentica spazzatura che nasce in un oscuro luogo chiamato Lake Oswego (35.000 abitanti nell’Oregon) ma che poi diventa “verità” in tutto il mondo. Questa World Vision è una delle tante ONG umanitarie che sanno trarre la loro ragione di esistere (e raccogliere finanziamenti) solo inventando cose incredibili quali i 5 milioni di “schiavi” cambogiani e le prostitute di 5 anni, alte un metro.

Cambodia’s child prostitutes need help

By Cliff Newell

The Lake Oswego Review, Jul 23, 2009

When Shari Newman of Lake Oswego made her first trip to Cambodia three years ago to investigate child sex trafficking, she was stunned by what she found. “It was really emotional. It was so unbelievable,” Newman said. “I actually saw brothels and poverty. At the trauma recovery center there were little girls 3-feet tall and 5 years old holding my hand. They had been prostitutes. It was very taxing, emotional and heart wrenching.

“I’ve done a lot of mission trips, and that was the hardest one I’ve ever done. Other places you came away with a plan of action. There, you ask, ‘How can you do it?’”

What seemed hopeless in 2006, however, has a spark of hope in 2009. While the statistics on child sex trafficking in Cambodia are still overwhelming, young girls are being helped to recover from criminal abuse and awareness is spreading.

You could see how much at the “Children: Not for Sale” conference on July 7 at Lake Grove Presbyterian Church. A capacity audience of 120 people was on hand to hear Haiday Ear-Dupuy, advocacy and communications manager for World Vision Cambodia, talk about a problem that is so shocking when people hear about it for the first time: Cambodian girls being turned into sex slaves.

The statistics faced by Ear-Dupuy and her World Vision colleagues are these: 5 million Cambodians are trafficked in sex and labor. (….)

Selling sex is one way to make dollars in Cambodia. “Sex tourists” from all over the world, especially the U.S. and Asia, come looking for young girls.

Yocky, who is senior area director for World Vision in Portland, well remembers her first encounter with child sex trafficking in Cambodia and finding out about the exploiters seeking their “lost assets.” “One such owner suspected that his lost asset was living at the WV center and tried to poison the food supply as his revenge,” Yocky said. “Gratefully, he was not successful.”

Like a candle in the night, Ear-Dupuy is offering her own statistics on the World Vision center’s success in helping girl prostitutes. Her center has accepted 1,000 girls aged 9 to 18 and has a rehabilitation rate of over 90 percent.

“A couple months ago I became quite discouraged,” Ear-Dupuy said. “Then I read a book called Good News About Injustice. “I realized ‘I am the good news. You are the good news.’ The work of Jesus is up to us.”
