It´s bad translated, is a spanish news from La Razon but I want to share with you, because is a show of the evil in the world, the lack of respect in many cultures to the women, the current tolerance to the sin and other things, the interviewed is a spanish bishop there.
“To lie down with a girl in Cambodia it costs five dollars and to release it, 50” Enrique Figaredo, Spanish jesuit and bishop of Battambang, describe to LA RAZON the delirium of living there: "people are very poor. She does not have where to work. Prostitution is not an option, is the unique one " The fields are seeded of mines antiperson. The streets of prostitutes. Víctims?The youth, that finishes mutilated or receiving less than 20 dollars by sexual service. Cambodia is disintegrated.
Two prostitutes wait for the arrival of clients in the door of the hut in which they live Several people, among them a boy, in the waiting room of the military hospital of Phnom Penhs in Cambodia.
If the Magdalene had been outlined with Asian characteristics and in this century, would live in Cambodia. It would live in any corner of the Monivong Boulevard and one would move, of slippery form, between the best hotels of Phnom Penh, closely together of the embassies of France and United Kingdom. It would have between 12 and 15 years and it would be offered to the viandante by a handful of dollars, than 20, with which it could buy rice grains to maintain his father, never mutilated more, and to his mother, patient of AIDS. Its face, the one of a girl, would be furrowed by the scars of recent history - than two million people annihilated more in the regime of jemeres red and by the ingratitud of a present of minefields and pandemics without it cures. To weighing of everything, the Magdalene never would have a sadness face, perhaps lodging the hope of being able to be saved of same himself or of which somebody helped it to escape. This Magdalene is, in essence, Cambodia. Of its pores the scent of the survival emanates; the pain which every day rises and knows that it makes to fight not to die, to face the new hell. But a hell drawn in beautiful, simple colors. Enrique Figaredo, a Spanish jesuit that was named bishop of Battambang in 2000, arrived at Cambodia in 1994. It remained pledged with simplicity; it remained horrified by the misfortune. It remained. A house remained and installed in which to be able to aid the children who are going to the field to work and they return without extremities because a mine antiperson flew them in thousand pieces. And since it was helping, it was also stopped to aid to some of prostitutas parvularias that are put into the hands of first which it offers currencies to them. There its experience, has been eleven years, has taught to him that nobody is become accustomed the horror. And less when those than undergo tortured of atrocity they are the children: "I have been many years here and I am not accustomed. It is horrible. When you think that already you have seen everything it, that it cannot worse have nothing, you are with new cases that surpass the previous ones. You see how the children donate their artificial legs. Or how the adolescents take leave of their parents and they say to them that they are going to work to a factory and in fact they are going to prostitute itself. The parents do not ask, do not want to know, because, in most of the occasions, the money that enters its houses brings the children. It is a delirium. An authentic madness ". Suddenly, a silence becomes. After seconds, Kike - thus it wants that they call it narrates: "Right now two children have arrived at the welcome house. The smallest Tang, of 9 years, has been remaining without leg for days. Its power of recovery has caused that gives lessons us. Today same, Tang has said to me: "To me already you have helped me much. Now aid to others ". He is impressive ". Tang is one of the thirty children welcomed in this house of the Cambodian service of the refugee. “we do not have limitless capacity - Figaredo justifies -. the only thing that we can do is to cure them and, once cured, gathering to that they are in worse conditions”. The one of prostitutes is different. Once they are caught by a Mafia, he is complicated to remove them. "people are very poor here. In addition, it is not possible to be worked in anything. The Earth is seeded of explosive devices.

Prostitution is not an option. It is the only option ". Thousands of children, children and women are led the street. Smallest young the early ages are more and more is scandalized Kike -. In Cambodia, everything is sold. Until people. Sometimes, the “exchange person by money” makes the own family to be able to be guaranteed the sustenance during a time. "You see the little creatures offering its services by 5 dollars to the native ones and 20 to the foreigners. We go, that by four pesetas you can have a girl for which you want. This is causing that is increased the sexual tourism because here the children are gorgeous and has heartless who are able to travel kilometers to have them and to have them ", counts Kike. In Cambodia prostitution does not hide in the back room. It is in the showcase. The parents, far from trying to avoid that their children finish in her, do not say anything. They shut up themselves. Kike is not shut up. Speech:
"Of only that understands here the parents and the mothers it is of which they do not have money and of which somehow it is necessary to obtain it. The limit between which it is well and what he is bad is diffuse, almost does not exist. Then they prefer neither to see nor to hear in which their children work ". "Some children, fed up with being vejadas, yes request aid. Some mothers who cannot also allow ask for it information and try to take of the claws of the dealers of people their daughters. But he is not the habitual thing ", complaint. "years ago, i myself I rescued two adolescents of prostitution. They had traveled until Thailand to exert it and to be able to maintain to their mother and her six small brothers. When I was able to remove them, when I brought them from return to Cambodia, happened the worse thing: her mother died of tuberculosis, her father, an alcoholic one, did not become position of no of her children. And they, questioned themselves if they had done leaving the only activity well that contributed money to them ". The history of the enslaved girl. The carelessness and laziness have obtained that tens of Ong’s settle in Cambodia with the only objective to inform to the families into who exist other alternatives, into which not only prostitution gives money. One from that more profits have obtained in this land is Afesip, commanded by Somaly Man, an enslaved girl that managed to recompose and that it obtained, not long ago, the prize Prince of Asturias by its work. “When encounter to destitute children exerting prostitution, control there”, says Enrique to them. “Somaly is the person who can more help them because she knows reason why they are happening and reason why they will have to happen”. To obtain that a girl leaves the brothels is difficult. The Mafias are powerful. "to save the minors, only there are two options: to raptar them in a negligence of the ringleaders and to take them to a moved away province of the place in whom they exerted or to pay by them, to give money by its liberation ", say Enrique. To pay? "Yes. By 50 dollars you can save a person. Here everything has a price; everything is sold ".
 
Thank you, Franze, for giving us this article. Ricky Martin, the latino singer from Puerto Rico, has gone into semi-retirement. He uses his time, money, and influence to build homes for children to give them shelter away from prostitution. During the tsunami, he went there because he knew that, with that much poverty and desperation, people would begin showing up to kidnap the children and then to turn the children out into the streets to pick up strangers wanting to have warped sex. He wanted to rescue these children and give them a safe place to live and to go to school.
 
Franze, all news articles require a link. I am closing the thread temporarily. Send me the link as a private message and I will add it and unlock the thread.
 
I echo the thanks, even if the translation was a little hard to read (Trust me–if you gave me the same thing in English and asked me to translate it into Spanish, it would come out much worse :eek: ).

The textbook being used in the Spanish class I’m going into next week mentions Ricky Martin several times. I was wondering what had happened to him. Good on him for what he’s doing.
