If This Isn’t Slavery, What Is? By Nicholas D. Kristof 1/3/09 Phnom Penh,
Cambodia - Barack Obama’s presidency marks a triumph over the legacy of
slavery, so it would be particularly meaningful if he led a new abolitionist
movement against 21st-century slavery — like the trafficking of girls into
brothels. Anyone who thinks it is hyperbole to describe sex trafficking as
slavery should look at the maimed face of a teenage girl, Long ProssThe
business model of forced prostitution is remarkably similar from Pakistan to
Vietnam — and, sometimes, in the United States as well. Pimps use violence,
humiliation and narcotics to shatter girls’ self-esteem and terrorize them into
unquestioning, instantaneous obedienceThe Obama administration will have a
new tool to fight traffickers: the Wilberforce Act, just passed by Congress,
which strengthens sanctions on countries that wink at sex slavery. Much will
depend on whether Mr. Obama and Hillary
Clinton see trafficking as a priority. There would be powerful symbolism in an
African-American president reminding the world that the war on slavery isn’t
yet over, and helping lead the 21st-century abolitionist movement.
