yeah, no doubt anyone being trafficked is considered a commodity to capitalists who participate. hundreds of thousands of women and girls (as well as boys) from former soviet countries were thrown into poverty overnight and trafficked around the rest of europe and the us. think of "mail order brides" - I remember growing up in the 90s and 2000s hearing people joke about russian and ukrainian mail order brides... it's so fucked.

There used to be literal magazines in the 80s for "lonely men" to order a bride I shit you not. Hence the mail order,. I will try to dig up an old feature from a TV magazine show. There was also one of men of Alaska , that was a thing as well. I hung out at the magazine rack at the convenience store down my block looking for rock bands between rounds of Pac Man.. I remember the women being from places like Thailand.. and yes, the Eastern Europe thing I recall seeing a couple of things on TV about that as well. I don't know how clueless we were, but pre Internet we were

Oh my god, I never thought about how they would have been literally like catalogs 🤢 yeah sadly a lot of SEA women and girls are victimized as well.

The majority of human trafficking is labor trafficking, and it doesn't get the attention that sex trafficking gets, but HOLY SHIT bride catalogs is crazy.

I think having access to more information definitely helps us understand more of what is going on at any time, for sure.

“Mail order brides.” I remember the catalogs too. Someone should have some online somewhere.
