Poverty + Sex + Children = Child Prostitution
Posted by Unknown
I can barely contain my disgust
over the documentaries I came across and watched. What started for me as a mere
completion of requirements for this subject became a full-on awareness of how
cruel the world can be for people who lack resources to empower themselves. I
wanted to scream out loud and lose myself in tears for the grief I feel for the
lost of innocence the children had to endure in their young lives. I asked
myself how low can a person go to take advantage of a child’s need for basic
necessities and take advantage of them by paying the sexual services with a
small pittance.
Nakakahiya
talaga. Tayong mga Pilipino ay kilala bilang isa sa mga bansang may
pinakamaraming Kristyano, pero ano naman ang laman ng ating balita sa
araw-araw? Binebenta natin ang puri ng sariling atin at ang karamihan sa kanila
ay mga bata!
Kawawang
mga bata.
What
should have been provided to them without question became a means for the
opportunistic creatures out there (yes, CREATURES! They do not have the right
to call themselves human if they take advantage of the innocent!) to embroil
these souls in a trade as old as time. A trade where you sell your soul to the
devil and rent your bodies to the harsh usage of beings
with no morals or dignity in them. Prostitution is cruel and harsh, a sad
reality where nobody truly wins, where no one retains their morals and where
everyone involved sinks deeper in the throes of evil.
To
be honest, I see no end to this bitter cycle.
Hanggang
may mahirap, may nagugutom at nagkukulang, marami ang gagawa ng paraan para makapang-isa
at makasakit. Hanggang ang mga taong nasa ibabaw at may kapangyarihan ay
sariling kabutihan ang iniisip at sarili lamang nila ang pinaglilingkuran nila
ay wala tayong makikitang significant and drastic change para sa mga taong nasa
ibaba.
The
only thing to do now for me is to light everyone’s candle and hopefully
everyone starts the same and becomes enlightened to the plight of the young
ones.
Hopefully,
the flicker I share ignites a flame to enlighten us all.
