2 women recount ordeal as sex slaves in Saudi Arabia - INQUIRER.net, Philippine News for Filipinos (http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/metro/view_article.php?article_id=94870)
MANILA, Philippines – Nearly three years after they were allegedly turned into sex slaves by a Saudi Arabian prince, Lina, 19 and Anna, 20, (not their real names) are still seeking justice and asking the government for help.
Breaking their silence for the first time in more than two years, the two young women talked about their ordeal at a press conference yesterday organized by the Kanlungan Center Foundation Inc. and the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women (CATW) Asia-Pacific in Quezon City.
“I want to get justice. I want to tell other women from the provinces that this can happen when they seek greener pastures abroad,” Anna said.
The two said they were promised jobs as chamber maids in a hotel in Saudi Arabia in January 2005.
Anna recounted how she was driven into applying for a job abroad because she wanted to help her family in Cagayan de Oro.
The two claimed they were taken to a hotel owned by the prince where he allegedly raped them repeatedly. They added that they were lucky they were able to return home after a few months.http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?i=Bqk4eLmF</img> (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?a=Bqk4eLmF) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?i=WdStrpmN</img> (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?a=WdStrpmN) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?i=4ebO9HmE</img> (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?a=4ebO9HmE) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?i=lVdrudjj</img> (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?a=lVdrudjj) http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?i=Bv34aNBA</img> (http://feeds.feedburner.com/~f/Sxxxyorg?a=Bv34aNBA)
