lettres d'amour

Someone on my Facebook commented, “Dont understand how boys can be prostitutes…o.o” to this heart-wrenching video. I have never seen anyone so ignorant and stupid, it disgusts me. I have since removed her from my account.

Not that I’m being all holier-than-thou or overly judgmental etc. but in all honesty, I have always wanted to do something concerning world-wide issues like these. Producing documentaries, creating awareness. But there are restrictions and limitations (financially, protective parents..) We are lucky enough to live in a very sheltered environment, so protected that we have people like the above-mentioned who think that only women are the vulnerable beings. Yes, men are stronger physically, but that does not mean that they cannot be harmed. Never would they think that males can be subjected to such abuses. I remember reading an article of a male prisoner-of-war, and knowing that men are not as strong as we make them out to be. Men, can be raped.

Something needs to be done, that’s what we all say but sadly, I don’t think there will ever be an end to such issues. You close one illegal organisation down, another one sprouts up somewhere else. But I still hope, that someday, somehow, there will be an end.
