a $10 billion industry.

與產值達100億美金的產業。

I'm talking to you about modern-day slavery.

我說的就是現代社會裡的性交易。

I'd like to tell you the story

我想和大家分享

of these three children,

這三個孩童的故事。

Pranitha, Shaheen and Anjali.

and towards the end of her life,

到了她生命將結束時，

when she was in the final stages of AIDS,

也到了愛滋病的末期，

she could not prostitute,

她無法也無力再賣淫，

so she sold four-year-old Pranitha to a broker.

於是她把四歲的普拉妮莎賣給一個掮客，

By the time we got the information, we reached there,

當我們得知消息趕過去時，

Pranitha was already raped by three men.

普拉妮莎已被三個男人強暴。

Shaheen's background I don't even know.

而我對夏伊的背景甚至一無所知。

We found her in a railway track,

我們在鐵路軌道上發現她，

raped by many, many men, I don't know many.

被太多太多的男人強暴，多少我不清楚

But the indications of that on her body was

但她身上的傷痕腸子外露的跡象

that her intestine was outside her body.

是令人心碎的證據。

And when we took her to the hospital

當我們帶她到醫院的時候

she needed 32 stitches to put back her intestine into her body.

為了把腸子放回去，醫生縫了32針。

We still don't know who her parents are, who she is.

我們迄今仍不知道她的父母是誰，或她是誰。

All that we know that hundreds of men

had used her brutally.

sold his child for pornography.

You're seeing here images of

這裡所看到的

three years, four-year-olds, and five-year-old children

是一些僅僅三、四、五歲的孩童

who have been trafficked for commercial sexual exploitation.

他們被販賣做性交易

In this country, and across the globe,

在印度，和世界各地

hundreds and thousands of children,

數以千計的兒童

as young as three, as young as four,

有的甚至只有三、四歲

are sold into sexual slavery.

成了性人口販賣的祭品。

But that's not the only purpose that human beings are sold for.

但這並不只是人口販賣的唯一目的，

They are sold in the name of adoption.

有的以收養名義進行。

They are sold in the name of organ trade.

有的以器官販賣進行，

They are sold in the name of forced labor,

camel jockeying, anything, everything.

甚至駱駝騎師等等，任何理由。

I work on the issue of commercial sexual exploitation.

我的工作是針對商業性剝削

And I tell you stories from there.

故事從這裡說起

My own journey to work with these children

我這工作心路歷程的起源是

started as a teenager.

在我還是青少年時

I was 15 when I was gang-raped by eight men.

當時我十五歲被八個男人輪暴

I don't remember the rape part of it so much

我只記得當時心中憤怒的情緒

as much as the anger part of it.

多餘當時輪暴的情景

Yes, there were eight men who defiled me, raped me,

的確，我被八個男人侵害輪暴

but that didn't go into my consciousness.

但那些事並沒有進入我的潛意識中

I never felt like a victim, then or now.

我從來不覺得我是受害者，無論當時或現在。

But what lingered from then till now -- I am 40 today --

但從那時一直裊繞在我心中的情緒－我現在四十歲了

is this huge outrageous anger.

是無比強烈的憤怒

Two years, I was ostracized, I was stigmatized, I was isolated,

有兩年的時間，我被排擠，詆毀與人群隔離

because I was a victim.

只因為我是受害者

And that's what we do to all traffic survivors.

而這正是我們對待所有性交易倖存者的態度

We, as a society, we have PhDs

我們這個社會甚至有

in victimizing a victim.

加害於受害者的專業人士

Right from the age of 15,

從十五歲那年開始

when I started looking around me,

當我環顧四周

I started seeing hundreds and thousands of women and children

我看見了數以千計的婦女與兒童

who are left in sexual slavery-like practices,

成為性奴隸的犧牲品

but have absolutely no respite,

卻沒有任何生存的空間

because we don't allow them to come in.

因為我們不接納這些人

Where does their journey begin?

她們的生命歷程從哪裡開始？

Most of them come from very optionless families,

大多數來自各式各樣的家庭背景

not just poor.

不僅只是貧窮家庭

You have even the middle class sometimes getting trafficked.

甚至有中產階級的孩子被誘拐的

I had this I.S. officer's daughter,

這是一個資訊安全管理師的女兒，

who is 14 years old, studying in ninth standard,

當時正值十四歲，就讀九年級，

who was raped chatting with one individual,

在和別人聊天時被強暴了

and ran away from home because she wanted to become a heroine,

I have hundreds and thousands of stories of very very well-to-do families,

and children from well-to-do families,

包含富人子弟家庭的孩子

who are getting trafficked.

也逃不了被販賣的厄運。

These people are deceived, forced.

這些人被誘騙強迫

99.9 percent of them

百分之九十九點九

resist being inducted into prostitution.

都是被迫逼去賣淫

Some pay the price for it.

有些付出極大代價

They're killed; we don't even hear about them.

有的被殺害，從此不見蹤影，

They are voiceless, [unclear],

這些人是無聲

nameless people.

無名的受害者

But the rest, who succumb into it,

而那些屈於現實的孩子

go through everyday torture.

每天經歷虐待折磨

Because the men who come to them are not men who want to make you your girlfriends,

只因為這些男人並不是想要妳成他們自己的女朋友

or who want to have a family with you.

或者想和妳成家立業，

These are men who buy you for an hour, for a day,

這些男人是用錢買妳一個小時，或者一天的時間

and use you, throw you.

濫用妳，然後丟棄妳。

And one day she gives up on you and me,

And therefore she starts normalizing this exploitation.
