The topic I chose was the Trafficking of Iraq Women Rampant which was the 2012 11th top story of project censored news. The reason why I chose this topic was because human trafficking is an omnipresent and outrageous issue and within this news article, it reveals that it has become more predominant in Iraq. This situation is very alarming because the news article explains that due to the Iraq war, many women and girls have lost their husbands and have become orphaned. I am interested in this topic because I think it is a very atrocious situation for women to experience such things. Why should mothers and daughters be turned into prostitutes against their will, where does a woman's freedom stand? What alarmed me the most about this news article was that 50,000 Iraqi women are trapped in sexual slavery with no escape whatsoever. While reading this, I thought about the tragic traumas that all of these women should be experiencing and just the thought of it makes me shiver.
