Sex slaves in Asia
Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury
In Africa the colonial powers abolished slavery in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, but in areas outside their jurisdiction, such as the Mahdist empire in Sudan, the practice continued to thrive. Now, institutional slavery has been banned worldwide, but there are numerous reports of women sex slaves in areas without an effective government control, such as, Sudan, Liberia, Sierra Leone, northern Uganda, Congo, Niger and Mauritania. In Ghana, Togo, and Benin, a form of religious prostitution known as trokosi ["ritual servitude"] forcibly keeps thousands of girls and women in traditional shrines as "wives of the gods", where priests perform the sexual function in place of the gods.

SAMPLES: EGYPT´S FIRST LITERARY AUDIO BOOK IN ENGLISH
Marwa Rakha
COMING SOON!! Marwa Rakha´s first book – The Poison Tree – planted & grown in Egypt – has become Egypt´s first literary audio book in English. Narration: Marwa Rakha. Volunteering Artists: Amr Khaled – Bad Apple, Juliet Annerino, Lisa Portal . Main Soundtrack: Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love. Photography: Courtesy of Mahmoud Saad. Location: Club Mohamed Ali – Courtesy of Dr. Maged Farag. Recording: Courtesy of Radio Horytna – http://www.horytna.net/ . Sound Engineering: Mohamed Khaled
FREE DOWNLOAD: THE POISON TREE - PLANTED & GROWN IN EGYPT (ENGLISH EDITION)
Marwa Rakha
The book is written in a semi disjointed "part blog-part diary-part letter" fashion and someone who is used to a structured flow when reading, may start out feeling a bit disconcerted. But if you persevere you can gain some insights into Egytian culture, sexuality, morality and society. The unifying theme of the book revolves around gender stereotypes, dating and marriage and how men and women are held to different standards in society. While this may be true across the world, it is more pronounced in Egypt.
Gilded Serpent: Love and Romance, Egyptian Style
Marwa Rakha
Here is my favorite part from the review: At times the book is a savvy "Sex and the City" type column writing that addresses different hot topics.  These include the avid interest that her fellow countrymen and women have with their fascination of the Arab world watching Egyptian serial soap operas. The author, Marwa Rakha addresses fascinating insights for Westerners into the Egyptian psyche on dating/marriage issues; ranging from the basic man and woman on the street opinions, to societal class distinctions and snobbery.  This includes the taboo topics of prostitution and the complex survival decisions some women, sadly, must make.    Bravely baring her soul and laying her innermost fears on the altar of Truth as she sees it, the author gives us a rare glimpse into the inner workings of Love and Romance, Egyptian Style. Beneath the biting words, there is always a sense of humor and a fond affection and deep love that binds her to her family, even though they must surely despair of this outspoken daughter and her future happiness.  It was beautiful how she wrote regarding her father´s driving her around all night when she could not sleep, plagued by inner demons.
Marwa Rakha: Through Nigerian Lenses
Marwa Rakha
Dipo Tepede, popular Nigerian blogger and entrepreneur, interviewed me for his blog on The Poison Tree - planted & grown in Egypt ... and a variety of controversial issues.  She is Marwa Rakha; she is the first model I will be introducing to you based on my write-up; An Uncertain World. I refer to her as my Egyptian self. This is how she defines herself in her popular website (www.marwarakha.com); «I found my passion in writing, my voice in teaching and writing, and my strength in marketing» This is exactly how I would have introduced myself but not as articulate as she has done. She is actually a very popular figure in Egypt, breaking traditions, extending barriers and pace setting. She is an Author, a Relationship Expert Speaker and professional speaker; a guest speaker with Egyptian Satellite Chanel, Modern TV, AIN, Dream TV and Nile FM, 104.2. She is an instructor with the Business Studies Division of American University in Cairo. I learnt a lot from the interview I had with her on herself, her bestselling book and Egyptian relationships. Please, kindly take your time to read her answers on this breathtaking interview:
A Hell of a Marriage
Marwa Rakha
Back in March 2007, I wrote here – on that very same page – on the issue of early divorces: The men and women who shared with me their sob stories are victims of our society. The double standards that they are brought up to adopt create what we call in business, an execution gap. There is a big void between where we really are and where we want to be; what we want and what we have; how we feel and how we act. We drown in an abyss of deluding illusions, unrealistic expectations, fake emotions, consuming demands, and the inevitable frustration. We get married for the wrong reasons; we mistake lust for love and confuse stability with stagnation. Mothers are over protective as though they want to suck us back into their wombs. Fathers discriminate between their sons and daughters. Women do not practice what they preach; they sing to the deaf ears of their male counterparts. Men do not meet the promises they make; they play to the sensitive tunes of the female vulnerability. Traditions, manners, taboos, and religion mix in one melting pot that defines stereotyped outlines for our ideal character and our perfect mate. We are dictated the answers to all the quizzes but we are left to face the final tests alone – we fail with flying colors. Are there "wrong" reasons for marriage? No!
Dear MAN - Where are you?
Marwa Rakha
My wounds have healed; My heart is no longer sealed.
LET´S PLAY HIDE AND SEEK
Marwa Rakha
WHERE DO UNHAPPY PEOPLE GO?
Dear MAN ... YOU ARE MINE!
Marwa Rakha
In shades of orange I shall paint your face and promise you an eternal sunshine. Orange blossoms shall fill your lungs with the scent of happiness and hope. I shall carve our faces in stone and frame us in timber next to our bedside. Let me read you the poems that I wrote you over the years. Let my words guide you through the depth of my heart and the mazes of my mind. As we exchange vows we shall have a sip of our holy grail for our quest for love has upgraded us from mortals to martyrs. I am a witch and you are a magician. Our love is a wonder of the spell that shall forever bind us.
Drifting Apart
Marwa Rakha
People are stubborn because their pride gets in the way, because they are arrogant and self-conceited, because they are selfish, because they are immature, or because they do not care; I am too proud to acknowledge that I was wrong and that you were right, that your idea is better than mine, or that your way is better than my highway. I am too arrogant to admit that I am a human being who can make bad calls, erroneous decisions, or faulty judgments. I am too immature to apologize for hurting your feelings, for letting you down, or for being emotionally unavailable. I am just too selfish to open my eyes and see you instead of insisting on looking in a mirror that shows nothing but my proud reflection. I never cared enough to make it work.
Dear MAN ... I am not second best!
Marwa Rakha
So you thought I was desperate and defeated? No my dear man think again! You thought you were my last option? No my dear man for girls like me never run out of options! You thought I lost all my battles and came to you with my tail between my legs and my head between my hands to lick my wounds and die in peace? No my dear man this is so far from the truth. You looked at my scars and knew that I have been hurt a lot but you did not look into my eyes and could not see the determination that I have got. I am no prisoner of war. I am not a wounded kitten. I am no desperate girl. I have not surrendered my weapons.
Novelist Marwa Rakha on women and breaking ranks with the mainstream
Marwa Rakha
"I see people on TV saying that Egypt is fine, Egyptians are fine, family values are fine, our girls and boys are fine, our religion is strong, and our economy is getting better. Then I look at the emails in my inbox and I see what a big lie they are promoting. We are not fine! Everything is a mess - religion, relationships, sex, politics, everything."
Dear MAN ... YOU ARE NOT THE BEST!
Marwa Rakha
Words to a man who is yet to come ... a man whose home belongs in my soul

Egypt: MARRIAGE = LEGAL PROSTITUTION
Marwa Rakha
According to the Theorem of Pythagoras If Prostitution = Sex for moneyIf Prostitution = Sex for foodIf Marriage = Legal sex for moneyIf Marriage = Legal sex for food therefore Marriage for sex = Legal ProstitutionMarriage for food = Legal ProstitutionMarriage for money = Legal ProstitutionMarriage = Prostitution Q.E.D. Disclaimer: This article is not targeted at those who get married because they want to share a life with a person they love, trust, and respect. I am not talking about the few who have shared goals and want to start a family together. I am talking about those who do not realize that there is life outside the bedroom - those who turned women into sex objects and men into sexual predators! Special thanks to Maikel Nabil for his contribution to this article.
Dear GOD
Marwa Rakha
I woke up today with tears in my eyes - tears that defied gravity and decided to linger there for a bit. My heart was sad and on the verge of despair. I closed my eyes again as I wanted to let go of life.
I GAVE YOU A MONTH!
Marwa Rakha
If I were to give you a month of my life ... what would you do with it? That was the question that I did not ask when I first laid my eyes on him ... and decided to date him! He was on probation and he never knew it. I gave him a month to enjoy me and he wasted it. He thought he had all the time in the world ... but I only gave him one month.
A RELATIONSHIP IS BAD FOR YOU WHEN ...
Marwa Rakha
A RELATIONSHIP IS BAD FOR YOU WHEN ...
WE ARE FLAWED
