6. The woman travels overseas to the benefits she has been promised. At her destination, a man is waiting (often with other women). He takes her to her new “home” across the Greek border and into Greece. Upon arrival at her new “home”, the woman is captured, beaten, and raped . Her passport and all identification are taken from her . http://www1.american.edu/ted/images4/trafficking_human_beings2.gif
7. Rarely allowed a glimpse at the supposed money she earns, the woman is unaware of her debt or when it will be paid. Often she works for her captor until her death. Extra fines are placed for bad behavior, increasing her “sentence.” The woman is either sold into slavery (they can go for thousands of euros) or left in the possession of her original captor. Her new “master” requires that she earn money through prostitution in order to pay off her travel debts. http://www.epacvaw.org/local/cache-vignettes/L300xH251/arton364-8212a.jpg http://stufffromthelab.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/slavery.jpg
