The article: Miss Iraq 2008, Myra Adel, noticed one of my articles on the Iraqi sex trade and e-mailed me about what she had seen when she visited Syria, a country where Iraqi refugee women and girls, rendered desperate by the war, are being sold for prostitution.
I asked for her permiss...

God made the animals for their innocence, and the plants for their simplicity, but man He made to serve Him in the tangle of his mind.

Last month, PBS broadcast a show called Carrier, about life aboard the USS NIMITZ, an aircraft carrier with a crew of about 6000 sailors. It showed life on the ship and on shore during a six-month deployment in 2005. The Nimitz stopped at various ports in the Pacific, Australia, and the Arabian Gu...

The Iraqi whore--condemned for her own rape, as she engages in survival sex to feed her children. Ingnored by journalists, the raped starving whore is the horrifying 'by-product' of all wars.

Rape of women in the Congo by soldiers is so severe that 'fistula' is occurring--the tearing of the vaginal wall so that urine and feces seep in. What can Western privileged women do to stop the horror of wartime rape?

When recent court decisions in the U.S. closed horse slaughterhouses in Texas and Illinois, about 30,000 animals were shipped to plants in Mexico. These horses come from many sources: a lot are discards from the racing industry; some are worn-out carriage horses, too sick from hard treatment and h...

Sin City. Skin City. Las Vegas is flesh city. Billboards everywhere display tempting bodies. At one posh nightclub, the Tao in the Venetian, near-naked girls greet you in perfumed bathwater, roses floating on its surface. Girls shadow dance behind screens at Caesars Palace. The Palms has its P...

I just e-mailed the following paragraph to Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Refugees International, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, Iraq Veterans Against the War, and two women journalists at CBS news, Katie Couric and Lara Logan (foreign correspondent in Iraq):

I have seen it all before but it still shocks me. The Humane Farming Association recently shot undercover video at an Ohio pig farm which shows animals living and dying in conditions far more horrifying than one finds in any torture camp. And what I am about to describe in this article is typical ...

Veterans’ Day makes me uneasy. I wander from room to room, careful to touch each wall with my fingertips; if I do not complete this ritual, I become too jumpy to sit still. Years after I developed this strange rite, I discovered it was called an obsessive compulsive disorder. The final act of the...

This September, animal concerns seemed to hit me hard and continuously. The first of the month was International Primate Day, and I read of attempts in Europe to ban experiments upon chimpanzees and monkeys.
Thousands of our fellow primates are imprisoned and tortured in labs, and this mistake...

New York Times Science writer Nicholas Bakalar in a July 10, 2007 article (“Rat to Rat”) takes a stance of superiority toward rats. “Even a nasty-looking rat can have sterling qualities” he writes, after citing lab experiments on those brown ‘sewer’ guys where the animals treated each other with ki...

On Saturday, June 9, 2007, Rags to Riches, a filly, won the Belmont Stakes. It was the first time since 1905 that such a gender upset has occurred; and, in the history of the event, only 9 fillies have run.
Sportscaster Jeannine Edwards likened the feat to Maria Sharapova defeating Roger Federer...

Two dozen girls were picked up in a raid on a Las Vegas brothel last month. The customers present were questioned and released. This particular raid, the result of something called Operation Doll House, came after two years of investigation, and it yielded the arrest of about half a dozen exploit...

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” --Maya Angelou
I just presented a paper on “Sex Trafficking and the Military” at a conference where I focused on the ‘Occupation Comfort Girls,’ sex slaves raped by the U.S. Military in Japan after WWII. The day after I came b...

The controversy over talk show host Don Imus and his ‘ho’ comment has been on the news everywhere over the past few days. My take is so different on this whole incident that I have to share it with at least the one or two readers who might want to hear what this author, Suki, who is an ex-whore, t...

CNN journalist Anderson Cooper and his news crew recently spent a week in Cambodia and Bangkok reporting on the trafficking in humans and animals. One extremely good aspect that came out of all this was the profiling of Somaly Mam, a Cambodian woman who was sold into prostitution as a child and who...

My fury is high, and I am seeing red, and I don’t quite know quite where to start in response to one of Newsweek’s usual pieces: a sexist, patriarchal, overweeningly male, massively chauvinistic (that useful word bequeathed to us by the feminists of the 60’s), on-the-surface story about how booze an...

Nature, an American PBS series, just carried a show called “Chimpanzees: An Unnatural History.” Allison Argo, its writer, director, producer, and narrator, did a fairly competent job of showing how chimps have been exploited and mutilated by biomedical research. Overall, the show is moving, and, f...

The first photo. It shows four women and one man. He is kneeling, they are standing, but he still looks taller than the women. They are in front of what looks like a mud bunker, built into rock, a cave to dive into in case of bombing. The man looks to be in his early twenties. It is hard to jud...

The recent murder of five prostitutes in Ipswich, a small port town in England, prompted varying responses in the British press. As I followed these articles, I became increasingly annoyed. As an ex-prostitute, I found myself resenting all these journalists making easy, specious pronouncements upo...

Atrocities are the norm during wartime. So are civilian casualties. In the twentieth century, women and children comprised 80% of all wartime deaths. Yet when U.S. Marines allegedly kill a handful of unarmed civilians as, for example, in the Haditha incident in Iraq, it makes the cover of Time ma...

I was invited to Christmas dinner and at the center of the table was a ham. Beside that a turkey. As a vegetarian, I find that meals with carnivores during the holidays can be disturbing. People sit around a table, spreading good cheer. They act refined and use cloth napkins and sip wine from fa...

Last year this time I wrote a letter to Glamour magazine about its Women of the Year issue, commending the editors for including a raped woman on the list, and suggesting that next year they include a ‘typical’ prostitute. If you take all the for-sale females in the world, and extract a typical pro...

The turkey on your table went through a lot before she got there. She was ‘factory farmed.’ This involves procedures that can be defined as extreme torture. Within the first three hours of her birth, the baby turkey had three-toes chopped off and she was debeaked, all without anesthetic. Debea...

The actor wants to send UN Peacekeepers to Darfur, or so Clooney said in a recent speech in front of the UN Security Council. Be careful. Wherever they go, these ‘Peace-Keepers’ are ‘Violence-Bringers’ to the bodies of women. The head of the peacekeeping forces in Bosnia requested that a girl fr...

AIDS coverage in the media pays little or no attention to the prostituted women, girls, and children who suffer greatly from this disease’s impact. Frontline’s two-part series, The Age of AIDS (May 2006), is a good example. The show’s point of view is relentlessly male, even though one of the co-p...

Just in time for Veterans’ Day, I notice Clint Eastwood’s Flags of Our Fathers coming out, yet another movie glorifying war and the men who make it. Just the previews indicate its ‘John Wayne/war hero’ slant: “More Congressional Medals of Honor…” blares the overvoice, as The Sacred Flag (Iwo Jima ...

Fans party as raped girls suffer. A (London) Guardian article (May 30) reports that roughly 40,000 girls from Eastern Europe, Russia, and Asia are being trafficked into mobile brothels in Germany to serve the World Cup fans this month. Since there has been little mention of this in the U.S media (...

Instead of homo sapiens, I think we should call ourselves homo cagiuus, the animal that puts other animals in cages. From zoos to veal stalls to birdcages, we have a passion for limiting the movement of our fellow creatures on this planet.
I try to put myself in the place of the chimps in the zo...

In all of the massive, ongoing coverage of the war in Iraq, one huge issue is left out, the sexual behavior of our troops. Recent coverage of the trafficking of Iraqi girls into brothels by gangs and pimps (Time, April 23) does not mention whether U.S. and British soldiers are their customers.
