Human Trafficking is a crime which happens everywhere in the world and even if people may not believe it's still an issue it happens everywhere. There are different types of exploitation and even children and elderly people are not safe from this crime against humanity. Some people may be trafficked sexually and forced to work in a brothel or 'massage parlor where they are held against their will and forced to work.
Others may be put to work in forced labor where they are promised a large amount of money to change their lives only tricked into working in unsafe and dangerous conditions. I write about these topics because though I identify as a horror writer, I've been through experiences and know people who've been through serious trauma. I write to inform people and to push people to take a positive action after reading my books.
Though I enjoy writing for shock value I also like to write to use my expression and passion for writing to find my own humanity. Just a warning, I tend to go to a very dark place when I write. I don't hold back and like to write about the most traumatic experiences and I enjoy making my readers uncomfortable. I recognize that even if I'm extremely lucky to craft a fabricated story that there are many others who have true accounts of real trauma.
I can only hope that such people are somewhere safe now and have accessed health, healing and compassion from the general public. In my recent book I WRITE MY TRAFFICKERS HATE LETTERS WITH MY MENSTRUAL BLOOD I touched on the issue of sexual trafficking and did my best to write a realistic story. I wrote the story in first person to make the reader relate to the situation I was trying to convey and just how easy it may be to fall into that world.
I wrote that previous story because a former partner was trafficked and I spent time reading horrible accounts of anonymous stories on Nordic Model Now. In this book I'll be writing a fictional account of what someone who has been trafficked in a labor camp may experience and the work environment they may find themselves in. Please be aware that even if it happens in the real world that this book will NOT be talking about sexual trafficking of children.
However, this book will be mentioning children, elderly, healthy adults, unhealthy adults and teenagers being forced to work in an unsafe environment and exploited in a workplace. Some of the scenarios I'll be discussing will involve emotional abuse, black mail, threatening of visa and citizenship, people being dehumanized, beaten and kept in cages. Death threats, verbal, emotional and physical abuse.
