Why ‘decent’ publishers as Penguin memoirs depict prostitution as the glamorous choice of lifestyle?
When Anettte has been proposed the job abroad, she jumped at joy having such a chance. Pretty already legal aged girl was going to be a nurse for a well-off family. The handsome man, Petr who has recruited her, had promised she will travel with the family to England, and even America He promised she would practice her English. Next day she and 10 other girls, met him, handed passports and got into the carrier. Later she tells that it had to be their longest journey. Hours later, instead of the family, they were met by the group of rough men. The men had dogs and guns, they bundled them, ordered to strip nude and to make a line. The men inspected their breasts, teeth, and between the legs. Girls, the youngest being 14, cried.
Anetta recalled that they were just the horseflesh. They were dragged at the gunpoint and raped by the gang. Then they have been smuggled to Europe for work in escort brothels. Anetta later managed to escape. Later she told with a bitter mock:”really, i practiced my English alright”. Her story can be told by many women trafficked tp Europe to be indulged into the British sexual trade. It was estimated that at least seventy five per cent of escorts in London are foreign. Surely, Anetta’s story is not the one that you will find in the escort memoirs about the eroticism and glamour.
