THE BIG DAY ARRIVES — FINALLY MOVING TO
THE NEW SHELTER
A Young Woman's Experience of Human Trafficking.
Dear ****
I am a 22 year old woman with one child. I was born in Port Elizabeth and grew up
here. I went to a school in a well-
I was well looked after and did not have problems with money, clothes or food. I was always a very popular girl amongst students, friends and teachers. I always achieved above average marks in my exams, although I did not finish my Matric year.
My trouble started when I was in Matric. Myself and two friends wanted to check out a club in Central. Up until then I never had a boyfriend or used any drugs. We did occasionally have some liquor to drink before.
We were having a great time at the club. We met someone I knew from my neighbourhood, who introduced us to some (people)*. They decided to join us at our table as there were no other empty tables in the club. They regularly invited us on the dance floor and we left our drinks on the table unattended.
Then, all of a sudden, everything went blank. I could not remember anything that happened afterwards. I woke up in a flat in Central, I was completely naked.
