Thank you to Lurata Lyon for taking part in this episode of Minutes With. To learn more about Lurata's story of human resilience and bravery, please follow this link to read her book Unbroken: Surviving Human Trafficking www.amazon.co.uk/UNBROKEN-SURVIVING-TRAFFICKING-Lurata-Lyon/dp/B0C6P8GSB6/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=
As a psychology major I can tell you that this woman is not lying about her experience like some people in the comment section suggest. People who have experienced trauma such as this woman, will often talk about the smells, the sights and the sounds of their experience which is a clear indication that their trauma is real. People who comment otherwise are disgusting and ignorant. This woman is incredibly brave and focused.
@@Progressive_Canadian not many things at this point...but when someone's first thought/comment is to bring the element of whether or not someone story is true...Yeah I am baffled
@@Progressive_Canadian I have an amazing therapist for multiple years...but thanks for the advice....ONCE AGAIN...baffled that you would use therapy in a petty argument on RUclips....You sure you're a psychology major?
@@albertawheat6832 sounds like you can’t tell when people are lying. I’ve heard of stories of girls who falsely claim r*pe. I believe that. I’m not saying people never lie, but I trust my gut. She’s being very specific and is holding back tears. What wars do you think are real? What genocides do you think exist and don’t? I’d love to hear your take buddy.
On any subject there are always doubters,those that contradict & accuse others of making things up. They are just as bad as the perpetrators. They are ignorant attention seekers. They can't get the degree of attention they need by saying something kind or sympathetic so they decide to stir the pot with disbelief. They want a reaction so the best thing is to totally ignore them. I choose to starve them out, not feed their egos. Great answer, by the way. ❤
@@albertawheat6832 So you don't believe things like this happen? Your comment is almost as disgusting as the acts told in this video. The sheer fact that you imply she might be lying for clout is absolutely vile. This is a story about someone's life, her family, her hometown, her innocence, all vanished because of the evil deeds of powertripping rich criminals. Covering your eyes and ears because you don't want to believe something to be true isn't something to be proud of at all. But you probably don't care about all that
@@LnyMts Why didn't she name...names ? All these people coming forward, but they never name anyone ?? but hey, keep buying these fake divisive stories.
I’ll never complain again about how mundane my life is, washing clothes, washing dishes, and being a housewife. I won’t take that for granted ever again listening to her story.
I get depressed quite often. Anymore though, I tell myself that I have nothing to be depressed about. But millions of other people have plenty of reasons to cry. Especially those that have been forced into the sex trade.
@@elizabethwatts9251 Hey, every single Human has the 100% right to be sad about whatever makes them sad. To be depressed about whatever it is that makes them depressed. Sure, others have had worse lives, worse experiences, brutal experiences, etc., but the person who lost everything, who was tortured beyond words, feels their emotions over it and they're valid. The same is for those who are depressed because an outing they looked forward to going to was canceled. Their emotions over it are just as valid and allowed to be felt and talked about as well. Just because others have stuff go worse, does not ever mean the rest of us have to just keep emotionless and not let it out or talk about it. Holding emotions back or lessening ones feelings about something that happens just turns us into soulless, emotionless robots and people die from holding in emotion. Let it out. You're 100% allowed to, are supposed to, and need to.
she had good parents. That makes a difference in how she deals with things later in life. If she did not have that she would not be coping nearly as well as she is. She's coping very well considering what she went through.
How cruel can someone be? Someone is opening up about the heaviest time in her live and is accused of lying? She is pure courage with a strong heart and a tender spirit. If you can’t deal with that, go away.
Well the opposite is believe everything someone says on the internet based on how their story sounds. People are just exercising a rational degree of skepticism.
@@Ninja6485 yes, but there is also such a thing as timing. Of course you can be skeptical about everything. But that doesn't come for free. The risk is to portray a victim as untrustworthy and one is guilty of the fact that this victim can never step out of the status of the victim. Maybe one day you will have a daughter who will go public to report on her fate and to raise awareness. Think about what society should encounter her.
@@SuperBrownCharlie I actually think her story is probably true, but I also understand that this is a RUclips video; and people do post very convincing content on RUclips that ends up being fictitious. People have a right to question what they see, especially when you're posting content on a public forum. If you're not able to handle someone questioning your story, maybe it's not something that you should be sharing on an open forum. If my daughter was going to post a traumatic story on RUclips, I would make sure that she understood that some people are going to be supportive, but that some people are going to question it, and others could be downright mean, and so she should be ready to open herself up to those comments before putting it out there. I would want her to live in a world where she wasn't forbidden to question someone's story simply based on the sensitive nature of the content.
You are so strong, thank you for telling your story. I pray you are now able to have a normal life. I myself have never experienced any kind of physical abuse as you did. I am so glad you are now able to help others. You are❤ now a healer to help others who suffer such atrocities. God bless you.
this woman is propably albanian and muslim. The albanian muslims where mercenaries of the turks for 500 years terrorizing killing raping abducting christian kids from the balkans and when yugoslavia split they were also doing again the same to serbians. i doubt serbians soldiers were raping women. On the other hand her compatriots the albanian ucka were implicated in raping women human trafficking them and killing serbs and albanian prostitutes aka their own people for organs in kossovo. There is even a penal case against albanians open in the international penal court of hague for those albanian that were killing people for that reason in the so called yellow house in kossovo. The things she says she suffered she suffered them from her compatriotes the albanians yet she protray serbs as evil? this is pure lie propaganda!
I cannot believe the bravery of this woman. War is horrible and no one benefits especially female civilians. At this moment human trafficking is happening all over the world. Human trafficking is the number one moneymaker. To go through experiences like these and still feel love and kindness to others is a miracle. I hope a day will come when we all put our efforts into healing each other and our planet instead of actions which stun every aspect of our being.❤️
Most victims losing their lives in wars are are male. For example Ukraine the men die in hundreds of thousands while their women are here in Germany living from the money that is forced from the German working people. After 2 1/2 years theres a Flixbus shuttle Service to All mein towns in Ukraine and the busses are booked out all the time and only about 17 or 18 of the Ukrainians here are working. Those who die "at home" are in the vast majority the men.
Have you heard what she said ? She came from well educationed familly Father was a doctor and mom was a profesor not teacher but profesor of lenguges and poliglot anyway. I hope you know what is difference when you call someone a profesor and to be a profesor.😮
Anyone who's lived through such a traumatic fearful ordeal had no choice but to be strong or die. I personally believe her guardian Angel was looking out for her.
That is the horrible fight between brothers that an external entity (USA) cause to Yogoslavia. Is a shame and they repeat the same. I have the same age like her, I can remember the magazines in my house at 10 years old that I take conscience about the world. Remember my parents conversation, the horror of Africa hungry the Gulf War. I want to go with the blue soldiers. I didn't understand that this soldiers was part of the problem and kill the Yugoslavian population. But soon I understood that the "good" people was the worst people. This woman is the voice of the poor and oppressive.
@maquisbg no matter if it's caused by America or the Galactic Empire, there's no justification for what Serbs did in that war. Half of Bosnia had to move away, half of Kosovo had to move away, more than 300k people were killed combined in Bosnia Croatia and Kosovo, over 50 000 women raped just in Bosnia. It's horrific.
I was 2 years old when the war started in Bosnia, 2 days after my birthday. I’ve witnessed and experienced more horrors than most can imagine during my own childhood, and I thank you for sharing your story. Had me in tears. Glad you are still here. ❤
@@georgiakritikos4955 not sure what you mean by that? Do you mean share my story? If so, I do and have started to more recently. Would be happy to send it to you.
Hands down one the strongest women I've ever seen in my life. Trauma after trauma. She's incredible and so strong to speak so eloquently about everything herself and her family endured. I hope the rest of her life has been good and although she will have unimaginable trauma, that she enjoys life again x
This series keeps getting tougher and tougher to watch. It is so important to hear stories like this. It really struck me how you hear words like "rape" and "war crimes" and they are so devoid of the actual impact on people's lives. This episode really made it evident how it impacts REAL human beings' lives. Please keep telling stories like this!
Hey, imagine how animals might feel. They are also kept and taken to kill like this, only difference is they are seperated from their parents at birth.
Her dad was right she didn't need to be a doctor to save lives she saved so many by being so strong and speaking about this 🙏🏻❤️ I wish her all the happiness in the world for the rest of her life ❤️
Yes, but the terrible price she paid? Her father didn't meant help like this, being a live warning and victim witness. He probably meant any career choice pursued with intention of helping people would result in satisfying her need to better the world. If there was a choice, it would be much much better if her life led her to actually become a doctor like she wished.
....And, Heaven with only the good, NO EVIL, there. God bless the very precious Lurata and all others who have been treated, similar in the powerful name of Jesus Christ ✝️.
I was kidnapped and the guy's would keep telling me they were going to kill me when they were done. They got a kick out of my fear. I jumped out of the car when they were driving outside the city to bury my body. Out of all the pain from those 4 days what sticks with me the most is the fear of hearing how they were going to kill me. It;s a very hard feeling to explain and sadly others know it as well. I hope this woman is coping better then me. It destroyed my life. Some people are pure evil.
Your will to live was stronger than anything else. Please don't let those evil men "win," by not enjoying the rest of your life. You deserve so much more. Maybe you can envision yourself as a phoenix rising from the ashes of a painful past. Praying for your healing and wishing you find a strong support system to lean on. When you find yourself recalling bad memories, maybe scream out loud by yourself or punch a pillow, until the negative energy leaves your body. Find ways to release the fear that feels healthy and empowering for you. Please don't be afraid to ask for the help and resources you need to help you get through this. May you have many peaceful and beautiful moments 🙏
Hey! Im SO sorry. I just wanna let you know, you survived that for a reason and your life isn’t destroyed, even if it feels like that! I’m gonna pray for you! Dear God please let this beautifully strong daughter of yours make it through her darkest days. Please give her the strength, hope, healing, and happiness she so desperately needs and please renew her life as if it was never almost destroyed. Please show her that you are the one she needs to turn to during these hard times and show her the love and grace of Jesus that she’s so deserving of. Let her know there’s so much life left to live and healing is possible❤️🙏🏼
When I hear stories like this, I'm baffled at how people can be so cruel and heartless. You are an absolute warrior, Lurata. I cant imagine surviving all that and not being destroyed by it.
people are very good at "othering" dehumanizing. It's awful. I wish everyone could see we're all the same thing. It breaks my heart to hear these stories of cruelty. It angers me but that won't solve these problems. How do we fix something so horrific? Hurt people hurt and that's not going to change.
The mammalian brain that controls most of our instincts naturally puts people into friend or foe groupings. No matter how rational we try to be it will continue; it's why you have people at work in those groups or during covid you husband might have suddenly become an "enemy" because your circle had shrunk so small.
My heart goes out for her.Yet, praying, praying more for her bec I believe the BEST IS YET TO COME ,in Jesus' Name. God bless her heart and others like her ,brave and resolute to go on....
I am Bosnian and was also born in former Yugoslavia. Thankfully my parents and I managed to escape to Germany when I was three years old. Watching this video is so much scarier than any horror movie I've seen. You have all of my love and respect. - Masha
Lurata, if you read this, I want you to know that I have this overwhelming sense that your innocence and purity have not been destroyed. I think their intactness shows in your tears when you talk about the inhumane acts you witnessed and suffered. Your innocence and purity make you the wonderful person you are today! ❤ Perhaps they were taken from you then, but in that case I believe you have found and reclaimed them. You inspire me!
I agree. Innocence and purity don't have to do with whether a penis entered a vagina. They have to do with your morals and choices! You are choosing to share your stories out of the PUREST desires to help stop trafficking and human trafficking! Pure of heart means sincerely, love and compassion for all. It does NOT mean sex. Your value as a human isn't tied to your sexuality! And I HATE that even today we are telling girls that they don't have value unless their a virgin even though sex is a normal human behavior! That does not make the rape less traumatic as it's probably the worst thing that a person could ever live through. But I hope this helps you know just how wonderful, innocent, beautiful, pure a person you are!
Thank you for giving Lurata a place to share her story. Anyone who thinks she's lying has not experienced trauma... they want to remain in their own little safety bubble and not accept that there are evil people in this world who make the choice to hurt others in this way...
It’s incredible that she held onto her sanity and sense of self. Trauma for children and the innocent is most severe, with the mind dissociating because it can’t reconcile their former life with reality. Her intelligence and imagination probably saved her and remarkably, remain intact. Most minds become fragmented. They become mush. It takes years to reintegrate the personality, but it is possible. Never give up.
"because I was so destroyed, I've learned so much love from it." This is incredible psychological strength. It is beyond a reframe. It's probably the only way to survive such brutality.
when it got to where she got home and the military came for her I couldn’t believe that wasn’t the end. This woman has been through an insurmountable level of trauma. I hope her life is beyond blessed now
I was very horrified, but confused by how she went back to Serbia. Was she not prevented from doing so?? Was she driven? This part is extraordinarily confusing to me.
@@karenmoedee6740 Yeah, something strange is going on here. I would crawl to the deepest hole to the rest of my life. Even now I'm prepared to just run away in case of any conflict.
@@joannadugosz1252 certainly... the soldiers were assumed to be lifesavers... perhaps typically putting her in protective custody as the lone survivor... I agree with you.
I have never heard a more harrowing story in my life. I am around your age and what a blissfully ignorant life I lived in America while you lived in a literal hell. Sobering. Your strength is inspiring. Your story is important.
I feel the same, blissfuly ignorant good life in a neighbour country next to hers, I'm a bit younger and heard about the war in the news growing up but obviously didn't understand much at the time 😢
Another story that really shocked me was "I was sold into an elite p*dophile network", by the channel Unfiltered Stories. Although it's shocking and disgusting, I recommend watching it as it really describes stuff that we normally don't even know about.
in your spare time look up stories of black Americans and native Americans. America has a veryyyyyy dark history as well. My heart goes out to her because she actually experienced being took away from her family and having zero control of anything happening to her or anything around her . Being that helpless and sold to the highest bidder definitely resonates with me and my Ancestors, im praying for this beautiful strong woman! She did not deserve any of this. I'll never understand the evil of this world
The only reason I could stomach watching this was because of how beautifully your soul shines through this horrific darkness. It’s strange to simultaneously be in awe at the cruelty and disgust that lives in some people while also being in awe of the bravery and love you are able to still exude. Lurata, if you ever read this, your strength is incredibly inspiring. The light that shines from your soul will most definitely light the path for many to escape their own personal hell after experiencing such great trauma. It took me almost an hour to string those words together because you have left me mostly speechless but my goodness, you must know, you are an incredible human to find love from such a horrific experience. ❤️
it's actually astonishing to me how many people do things like that, or condone because they purchase the organs. But watching this channel it's like I mean there was a himan for listen a lower cartel who was killing people since he was like a child, The people who indoctrinate child soldiers after kidnapping them from their parents and killing their parents in some cases in Africa, The description of the Cambodian genocide by that one woman was one of the most insane things I've ever heard although I was already previously kind of aware of that event, The woman who talks about the Rwandan genocide that is totally insane like the number of people involved in those incidents doing those things is like millions of people. It kind of says one of two things it says either anyone is capable of becoming like that, then circumstances can force or kind of manipulate people into just completely losing all their empathy, or there's just a shit ton of people who are always capable of that.
Human depravity never ceases to amaze me. Lurata, thank you for sharing your story of extreme resilience, strength, and love for your parents. I hope that you experience nothing but the good side of humanity for the rest of your life.
"Just do it nicely," to the person about to murder her. That floored me. The amount of miracles that had to come together for a young girl to escape the wrath of evil men is mind-numbing. And after all that the next batch of evil was just around the corner. I wish we could know if any of those monsters were arrested or brought to some sort of justice since.
Probably not. Seems to me that people who do these kinds of things end up fine. It's almost a guarantee in some countries. Just be thankful you live in a country where women have equal rights, if not more.
@@analogueoverdigital929 I see where you're coming from with your answer.I just feel like ANYONE at ANY TIME, can suffer a fate like hers and maybe even irreversible mental trauma.Even in a country where women have equal rights.Equality has nothing to do with the people walking around looking for victims.I get your point, and this is mine.
@@analogueoverdigital929 What makes you think this stuff doesn't go on in countries that have equal rights for women? We don't know of the evils. Human trafficking is not publicly broadcasted. It is hidden in secrecy.
Alan Sandler of Sandler Partners Cloud and Cybersecurity has a dark web criminal network that participates in traumatizing many. Very scary. He has access to every private citizen’s wi-fi.
Everytime she cried, I did too. It is just unimaginable. And I don’t know about everyone else but these events she endured, it all seemed so fast, one literally right after the other. It was only when she said “6 months” in her last place of captivity did it feel like time slowed down and felt hopeless. What an incredible woman. And so young when it happened. I wish nothing but the absolute best and a lifetime of beautiful happiness for her.
Thank you for the bravery to relive your experience and share your incredibly important story. I'm 31 and none of this seems like it can be real, but that's why it's so important for us to know and remember. You were a modern girl just like me and suffered unimaginable adversity and still stand here as such a strong and bright woman. Thank you for this gift of showing us how strong and vulnerable and bold a scared young child can be.
I have interviewed/interrogated people and was trained on how to spot a liar. This woman is telling the truth. My sympathy is with her. No one should have to endure such horrors.
Ye she exhibits all traits of a liar. Her story doesn't add up she shows no physical proof and then the most important thing, decent upper class educated gurls become expensive prostitutes not organ donors. She extensively whured around behind enemy lines and then made up a story to get to Europe. Plenty more lying whures around here abusing the immigration system 44:02 You're full of shit as well, because if you were trained you would have noticed her microexpressions and use of language to be completely off. The boss telling his boys to turn her on the back and rpe her is the most obv thing 44:02
This woman is an amazing human being. How do we properly appreciate someone that has gone through such horrors of the worse kinds of physical and psychological abuse, yet comes away, not twisted with rage and hatred, but with a genuine concern for the well being of others. There are no words for this. She is a guardian angel forged in the fires of traumatic insight. May she be rewarded with unending bright blessings for her goodness. The world need more good people like this lady, but hopefully without all of the terrible experiences.
@vericacvetkovic9093 we listen so their voice is heard and give them validation. Not that she needs it. But validation helps people to heal. The more uncomfortable it makes me the more I realize it is something we should not ignore.
Listen to your story brings tears, you are such a strong woman, but i pray the Lord gives you double for your troubles , i also pray he healed your broken heart, and comforts you with his peace
I am from Croatia. Breaks my heart what she went through knowing how hard life was back then and how good and warm people are here. I was born few years before the war and I remember a few situations but I wasn’t old enough. But it did broke my family. My mom ran away with me to safety and my dad went to the States. I still remember the sirens in the park and going home. My family members almost died while bombing Zagreb. I have older friends with severe PTSD still. I don’t know why it shocks me that people took advantage of the horrors of war and did things like this. It boils my heart what our countries went through, what people went through, and in what state it left our countries.
It was all so terrible and then she said "i was in there for 6 months", and my jaw dropped. How you could make it through 6 months in isolation is completely unfathomable to me. Lurata is a beautiful soul. Im moved by her story. Thank yiu for being so vulnerable and shsring this all with us ❤
It's truly a miracle that she's alive and was able to survive this with her dignity, kindness, spirit and capacity to love as she does intact. I recall when this war was occurring and how frantic I was about it needing to be stopped and that especially the children needed to be rescued. I prayed fervently about this and had prayer partners praying also. Doing the same with the situation in Gaza, as many other prayer warriors have done during other wars and crises where the innocent are suffering and dying for the greed, lusts, envy and violence of some have put the many in grave danger, suffering great harm. May God be with her in her calling and may God bring all of us, His children through these great trials, to better times and better days or home with Him forever to be safe.
My family is also from that region, I grew up hearing the horrific tragedies, including stories of the ‘yellow house’ where gruesome torture for body parts were happening. Sadly will continue to happen as more wars progress, we need change. Thank you, Lurata, for having the courage to do this. 🇵🇸 🇸🇩 🇾🇪
How hypocritical for you to put that horrific pallie flag when this is exactly how they treat Jews on October 7. How embarrassing you writing it needs to change and then supporting the very people who are doing this today you should be ashamed
Yes, it was run by Albanians. It seems she is not Slavic so she is not telling all the truth about the situation. And still, Kosovo is the human/organ trafficking center and runner by we know who. Also in recent years a lot of people in Macedonia have been missing (people suspect that is organ trafficking) and there is a case that wasn't done justice: a mother giving birth in a hospital, the doctor is an Albanian, took out her healthy organs. Thank God they didn't take her child too. ANd still, he is protected because he is Albanian.
@@mirjanaobednikovska7661I am Macedonian and there are as bad Macedonian people as Albanian. Please do not blame whole nationality for the dirty work of few .. because you know there are Macedonians that got paid of in that hospital to cover the atrocities! Stop the nationalism. It's not us versus them is bead people against good and as long as both sides don't see that nothing will ever be ok. Sure Albanian did horrible crimes during the war but so did the serbs and before your start spatting Balkan trash at me I speak from experience! Macedonian and Serbs can be as bad as the worst Albanian
@@SlavicFairy-qk9uw she needs to tell the truth. First of all, Albanians are the ones that are doing the human/drug/organ/child trafficking since they are supported by the USA and EU. Otherwise, be sure they would do a whole investigation about the "yellow house" and we wouldn't have this conversation since it would be a well-known fact. In my country Albanians raped, and massacred soldiers (one of them was calling the family at the moment and his family heard over the phone all that happened to them), employees of a hotel they attacked. From our side, there was no raping or massacres. In the end, you know who pulled out the terrorists - ALbanians? The Brits as always. She should tell the truth about who did all that stuff.
I am 40 minutes in, admiring her strength, resilience, and candidness ....and all I can think of is "how dare they give P.O.W. total power and leave her in their care". I am so glad she is here to tell this story. Bravo to her father!❣
@@nancypowers6392 I was too. What strength she had. What determination to get back to her family, I can't dwell , as It is an atrocity that is heartbreaking. ❤🩹It is worse to think it still goes on.....in parts of the world.
It is absolutely terrible how people are detached from their humanity and they are pushing war efforts. I am sorry that this young lady had to live this through!
Anyone who does not believe this woman is living a life in a bubble, they have the luxury to not only be unharmed, but to not even believe harm exists. Godspeed, you somehow managed to escape.
I'm from that region and all what is told on this interview it was real , very commune and also banal on that time. No need to lie over it. Only ppl who do not have a clue on what is an genocide, can't believe that this story are really every day stories on war time .
@@lymitutit3046 if you are born in 1980s, what age will you , at most be an latest 1995?its the inconsistencies that make it unbelievable. also she tries to frame her parents as these poor people, before war but their professional are very noble
You can say that. It's like we say anyone of you believing this live in your bubble. Just because someone tells a story, everyone has to believe it? That's how you get manipulated.
When I was a child, my mother told me the same as her dad: “if you want to help other people, you will be helping other people anyway in any work you choose to do”.
My grandma and mom taught us that the most important thing was to live by the "Golden Rule"..and "Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you".
Thank you, Lurata for sharing your story. What happened to you and thousands of other women during this conflict is beyond horrific. I am so glad you made it out and were reunited with your loving family and I wish you nothing but a happy and peaceful life. ❤️
This one has me in tears. War is absolutely horrific, and sometimes, people lose their moral compass. Sexual violence is more common than people think. There were cases documented in WWII. My heart breaks for this woman, but she is truly a brave survivor. She will be in my prayers, and I will remember her story. ❤
I just want to hug her……😔 my heart absolutely breaks for what she had to endure. People are taken, sold and murdered every day….. all due to greed. Humans are vile creatures… far too many people do not deserve the gift of life. Be as kind as possible, remain grateful for all you have.. even if it is just a little and have the day you deserve❤
Moved to tears. Incredible woman - and doing this for all the other incredible women across the world who she represents. What a mean, bitter, awful world we've created
When she talks about her dad finding her, that's what got me. Such an incredible woman, to have gone through so much, so young, and come out the other side
I dont understand what she meant when she said "my dads face, being a doctor, said it all" like she could have just said "my dads face said it all" so what is it about being a doctor that is important when he rescues her? in fact what does it mean at all when she says it "said it all," what did it say?
@@MySmileStillStaysOnno. She meant that her was horrified by her horrible physical state. It mean he looked at her and realized that she was half dead from her torture and he was crushed by white saw!
@@mariaannenkova7954 The environment of fear, threats, violence and rumours is surreal and volatile. People become hypervigilant and listen for any lulls in the tension in order to try their luck. I an guessing it took her dad time to build trust to start enquiries.
This lady is a remarkable human! I can’t believe all she has endured but am so proud of her strength, resilience and determination. What a beautiful soul. You can tell she still teleports back to the events emotionally, as she retells her story.
Such a heartbreaking story 😢You’re a survivor and anyone who thinks you are lying is pathetic 😢Thank you so much for sharing this part of your life and I pray God continues Blessing you and may he protect you 🙏🙏🙏
What an incredible woman! To go through all that horror and still have the strength to be strong and to show love is amazing! I hope the rest of your life is happy and safe
Finally the Yugoslav story told in the most mesmerising way possible. I wish these things wouldn't had happened to you...at the same time I feel proud that such a beautiful soul has a chance to tell it properly.❤
@@egyptianhibiscus9203 stupid! Understand one thing; siptars were drug dealers, organ dealers -I do know that jugoslavian government was aware of it- but; were they real masters or siptars reporting to mafia in newyork, that again I cannot tell. But jugoslavian story it is not. Unless grabbing and killing jugoslavians makes em accomplices i sick minds.
This is too heavy for me to finish listening all at once. Can't imagine how terrifying it was for Lurata. I'm so sorry that she had to endure such physical and mental torture.
So much love to you, Lurata. There really are no words for your suffering, but I am so incredibly sorry for what happened to you. Thank you for sharing your strength ❤
Lurata, you are more brave than most of the world. Thank you for sharing your story and that is of many women of the world. I hope you're happy as can be, wherever you are now.
This broke my heart, I'm fighting the urge to cry, I am so sorry that we live in a world full of monsters, what this brave lady is describing is beyond my imagination, may you find your peace m'aam, nobody should ever go through that 😢
This woman is a living saint. Sharing your story is a great kindness to others who have endured similar circumstances. Because you witness, they know they are not alone and there is strength in numbers.

Thank you, Lurata Lyon, for your brave testimony. Your resilience is so incredible. I think I could not survive the kinds of traumatic experience you endured. God bless you.
My daughter is a survivor of human trafficking in Canada. We live our lives so innocently not knowing the evil that exists around us. But I sure found out there’s a dark place in Canada
@@LadyEdenLibra Ontario , Waterloo/Kitchener. What saved her was when we first moved to Ontario we stayed in London in a hotel for a month so she got to know the area and when she escaped she recognized where she was and was able to run. When they take girls they take them to different towns to disorient them. A lot of motels are used to hold these girls and are involved in the trafficking of them.
there are dark places everywhere... the brighter a country is shining, the darker their dark places are.... just to give you an glimps of an idea what is happening in countries like USA, China, Emirates aso
Its beyond words what humans are capable of, the evil, and pain. I'm so glad she survived, but it is unfathomable that this is still happening, in wars and children around the world. I had my own torment as a domestic abuse survivor, 23 years. It happens everywhere even next door. I just wish with all my heart it could be stopped. Its the hardest thing to escape.
Im 40 years old. I remember the early 90s in school. So many Bosnian and Yugoslavian refugees. I remember the horror stories i had been told by these poor people. Feels like yesterday
I'm from Slovenia. When I was a kid in the 90's, we had refugees from that horrible war between Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia. My mom would later tell me stories she read in the newspapers about young teenage girls, woman captured by soldiers, and kept in rooms naked, raped 24/7. Horrific stories. My country Slovenia had a 10 day war with Serbia, combats were mostly on our border, I can't imagine what would happen to us if they would come inside our country, I don't think I'd be here today. Thank God we managed to become independent. But that Balkan civil war is still one thing I get sensitive about.
This woman is so amazing.Her truth is absolutely heartbreaking, and the fact that she didnt just curl up in the fetal position and give up, is absolutely inspiring.Her emotional strength is empowering and i wish nothing but the best for her moving forward.❤
What courage and strength someone needs to live this endless nightmare and in the end say “I feel super lucky” and “because I was so destroyed I have learned so much love from it and kindness”..
I was held hostage at gunpoint and told I was going to be killed but I managed to escape. I was a teenager. I never told my covert narcissist dad or my mom. I bottled it up for years and developed cPTSD. It’s been hell. The worst part is later. During the event there is so much adrenaline that one does not feel anything as it would be a distraction from surviving. Maybe I already was developing cPTSD at the time as my early traumas were significant. I empathize with anyone traumatized at a young age.
S*xual assault by a family member at 13. Just as you described, I remember a moment afterwards where I was alone in the bathroom and it felt like a silent bell ringing in me, the muted soundwaves moving through me. I sat on the floor and waited for the adrenaline to run out. My body didn't feel real.
That's awful, dealing with a narcissistic personality disordered parent is bad enough, but on top of this it must have been terrible. Thanks for your strength and God bless.
I am so sorry for what you have gone through. I can’t believe what so called humanity can do to each other. You are an inspiration to all of us. I am heartbroken to hear what you have gone through. Much love and respect
I remember visiting Croatia and walking onto a deserted beach thinking it was just abandoned. Walking up to the buildings you could see huge shell holes in them and my blood ran cold. I later found out that they housed women and children fleeing the war but got shelled anyway. After that just walking around the town you could then see shell and bullet holes in the plaster of some of the buildings. Once you knew what you were looking at you couldn’t unsee it. I remembered seeing the war on the tv as a kid but it didn’t make sense to me. I have a great respect for that place now
I am from Croatia. You can still see bullet holes in some cities. I don’t think Vukovar ever recovered. I cry every year when we honour the fall of Vukovar. I feel so grateful that the only thing I remember are the sirens. Sirens are still tested every month, first Saturday in the month. When the war in Ukraine started, people were high alerted, still there is a high PTSD among people, they stopped the sirens for a while because it disturbed all of us.
Thank you for the courage to share your story and reveal the truth about the crimes of trafficking committed against women. Blessings on your life and story.
Such a beautiful courageous woman who made a conscious decision to turn all her trauma to good. She is a testimony of true strength, humanity and loving kindness. I hope this lovely lady has a peaceful and happier life now ❤
I know and am a dear friend of Lurata...SHE IS NOT LYING..I met her 20 years ago in a bar in London with our mutual friend from America..she's a sweetheart..can't believe this has come up on my feed.
@@jordandevine-jonesyou’re kidding me right? .. what happened during Yugoslavia was disgusting. And yet western ppl like you wouldn’t ever understand what type of disgusting corruption like that is like. Only thing is your government is literally playing you like a bloody chess game especially right now with all what’s going on right now. So keep crying. Bc the difference of the west and what happened in Yugoslavia is, that you can close your eyes and sleep without worrying about what’s going to happen vs citizens in Yugoslavia had to worry every day and night about what was going to happen to them.
@@anncarter5945 this gurl is not 40 years old so i find it interesting how you met her in a bar she was 18 years old when this happened to her...this didnt happen 20 years ago this is relatuvely current story. maybe you have her confussed with someone else
I got complete chills and my throat closed up when Lurata made it to the police officer. I immediately started crying for her at that point. The strength of women astounds me every day.
The dignity, humility, self-respect & self-containment in this lady is almost unfathomable, given her traumatic experiences. I hope she lives a long, safe & fulfilling life 🙏💖 And the same for the other survivors of war atrocities that I found in the comments (amongst all the usual regrettable, disrespectful trash talk) 🙏💗
Thank you Lurata for telling your horrific story. I am so terribly sorry that this happened to you. It is hard to acknowledge that humans are capable of such depravity. We all need to know that this level of depravity exists if we are ever to evolve to a point where it is not allowed to exist in any population under any circumstances.
Thank you for your bravery in sharing your story, Lurata Lyon! Please keep speaking! I’m glad I didn’t see any of the accusations of lying in these comments. Those people are either utter fools or evil in trying to discredit her truth!
Incredible is your survival, l hope so much for you that love and happiness now surrounds you every day - may the horrific ordeals you suffered encourage and hasten world action to eradicate this heiness crime of human trafficking.
She gave me goosebumps the moment she sat down. The way she carries herself - and to see the words “human trafficking survivor” across the screen at the same time - she’s got an incredible strength inside her. I love this so much.
She's so incredibly brave to share her story, as she was describing everything she took me on that journey with her - but I can't even imagine actually experiencing anything like that. Thank you so much for sharing your story, I cried with you and my heart broke into pieces with you. And it makes me that much more grateful for what I have today and who I am. May God continue to heal you as what happened will always be a wound.
I'm currently reading this fiction book that deals with the trafficking of young girls and women into sexual slavery and I just came across this video. My heart breaks and it's so depressing knowing that we live in a world where monsters operate in utter depravity and no matter what the law and and justice system (that's broken and only works for the elite few) does to go after these human waste, such sickening acts will continue until the end of time. Some people come to this world to wreak havoc and prey on the innocent with their psychotic behaviours and there's nothing much we can do but try to protect one another and stand up to injustices and crimes against humanity. I'm so sorry to this lady for going through the pain that she did and pray for her healing.
Watch Beyond Fantasy, a docu about some pedo Max Hardcore. It opened my eyes further but be warned- you'll be watching some poor teen girl get SA'd. I still wonder how that girl is....
This lady is so incredibly brave and so incredibly strong. I am so glad you made it through this. Dear God, humans are brutal, brutal creatures. You know here I am in my pretty privileged life and there are probably millions of people going through a similar situation to her right now. It’s really hard to have words.
Being held against your will, kidnapped and tortured for a woman always means sexual assault, that’s how we are perceived in war and in society to harm a woman they have to abuse her also. Hope this helps to raise awareness of the different kind of violence we face added to the violence men hostages are subjected to too

But why it took dad for a 6 months?
As a psychology major I can tell you that this woman is not lying about her experience like some people in the comment section suggest. People who have experienced trauma such as this woman, will often talk about the smells, the sights and the sounds of their experience which is a clear indication that their trauma is real. People who comment otherwise are disgusting and ignorant. This woman is incredibly brave and focused.
Psychology is bullshit science on par with chiropractor and pollygraphy
I am baffled that this was your first thought....
@@Progressive_Canadian not many things at this point...but when someone's first thought/comment is to bring the element of whether or not someone story is true...Yeah I am baffled
@@objectofreference Interesting, Have you considered therapy?
@@Progressive_Canadian I have an amazing therapist for multiple years...but thanks for the advice....ONCE AGAIN...baffled that you would use therapy in a petty argument on RUclips....You sure you're a psychology major?
People accusing her of lying have no idea how unfathomable and disturbing humans can truly be on each other.
Living under rocks. All of them.
@@albertawheat6832 sounds like you can’t tell when people are lying. I’ve heard of stories of girls who falsely claim r*pe. I believe that. I’m not saying people never lie, but I trust my gut. She’s being very specific and is holding back tears. What wars do you think are real? What genocides do you think exist and don’t? I’d love to hear your take buddy.
On any subject there are always doubters,those that contradict & accuse others of making things up. They are just as bad as the perpetrators. They are ignorant attention seekers. They can't get the degree of attention they need by saying something kind or sympathetic so they decide to stir the pot with disbelief. They want a reaction so the best thing is to totally ignore them. I choose to starve them out, not feed their egos. Great answer, by the way. ❤
@@albertawheat6832 So you don't believe things like this happen? Your comment is almost as disgusting as the acts told in this video. The sheer fact that you imply she might be lying for clout is absolutely vile. This is a story about someone's life, her family, her hometown, her innocence, all vanished because of the evil deeds of powertripping rich criminals. Covering your eyes and ears because you don't want to believe something to be true isn't something to be proud of at all. But you probably don't care about all that
@@LnyMts Why didn't she name...names ? All these people coming forward, but they never name anyone ?? but hey, keep buying these fake divisive stories.
I'm from Croatia and that how it was than.
I’ll never complain again about how mundane my life is, washing clothes, washing dishes, and being a housewife. I won’t take that for granted ever again listening to her story.
I get depressed quite often. Anymore though, I tell myself that I have nothing to be depressed about. But millions of other people have plenty of reasons to cry. Especially those that have been forced into the sex trade.
@@elizabethwatts9251 beat depression by doing good to others
We must stand together as women❤
Thank You Lord for Your 🙌 BLESSINGS
@@elizabethwatts9251 Hey, every single Human has the 100% right to be sad about whatever makes them sad. To be depressed about whatever it is that makes them depressed. Sure, others have had worse lives, worse experiences, brutal experiences, etc., but the person who lost everything, who was tortured beyond words, feels their emotions over it and they're valid. The same is for those who are depressed because an outing they looked forward to going to was canceled. Their emotions over it are just as valid and allowed to be felt and talked about as well. Just because others have stuff go worse, does not ever mean the rest of us have to just keep emotionless and not let it out or talk about it. Holding emotions back or lessening ones feelings about something that happens just turns us into soulless, emotionless robots and people die from holding in emotion. Let it out. You're 100% allowed to, are supposed to, and need to.
The fact she can still smile is deeply inspiring. That is a strong woman. Her uncle was truly a hero.
She dissociated from the pain. Its spiritual detachment
@wtr GloryToTheHighest
It’s not so much the bad times that kill life, it’s the lack of good times. It’s nice that her life is now much better than it was.
@@GloryToTheHighest No, that isn't dissociation.
she had good parents. That makes a difference in how she deals with things later in life. If she did not have that she would not be coping nearly as well as she is. She's coping very well considering what she went through.
How cruel can someone be? Someone is opening up about the heaviest time in her live and is accused of lying? She is pure courage with a strong heart and a tender spirit. If you can’t deal with that, go away.
Bc people are sadly soulless
Well the opposite is believe everything someone says on the internet based on how their story sounds. People are just exercising a rational degree of skepticism.
@@Ninja6485 yes, but there is also such a thing as timing. Of course you can be skeptical about everything. But that doesn't come for free. The risk is to portray a victim as untrustworthy and one is guilty of the fact that this victim can never step out of the status of the victim. Maybe one day you will have a daughter who will go public to report on her fate and to raise awareness. Think about what society should encounter her.
There's a difference between being skeptical and accusing people of lying. And btw, 20% of women experience SA.
@@SuperBrownCharlie I actually think her story is probably true, but I also understand that this is a RUclips video; and people do post very convincing content on RUclips that ends up being fictitious. People have a right to question what they see, especially when you're posting content on a public forum. If you're not able to handle someone questioning your story, maybe it's not something that you should be sharing on an open forum. If my daughter was going to post a traumatic story on RUclips, I would make sure that she understood that some people are going to be supportive, but that some people are going to question it, and others could be downright mean, and so she should be ready to open herself up to those comments before putting it out there. I would want her to live in a world where she wasn't forbidden to question someone's story simply based on the sensitive nature of the content.
I was a 11 years old when a war started in Croatia. It was terible and she is telling the truth. Poor woman. She is so strong.
I will never forget the horror stories my tetas and baka have told me about the war. Never forget.
I was almost 3 when it started.. so fucked up at any age
@@iamdelicatessemy parents won't talk about it. I was from 3 yrs to 7 in sarajevo.

❤so sorry for what you went through.
@@faithbloiun7985 thank you very much.
it is not true, serbs are the victims
You are so strong, thank you for telling your story. I pray you are now able to have a normal life. I myself have never experienced any kind of physical abuse as you did. I am so glad you are now able to help others. You are❤ now a healer to help others who suffer such atrocities. God bless you.
this woman is propably albanian and muslim. The albanian muslims where mercenaries of the turks for 500 years terrorizing killing raping abducting christian kids from the balkans and when yugoslavia split they were also doing again the same to serbians. i doubt serbians soldiers were raping women. On the other hand her compatriots the albanian ucka were implicated in raping women human trafficking them and killing serbs and albanian prostitutes aka their own people for organs in kossovo. There is even a penal case against albanians open in the international penal court of hague for those albanian that were killing people for that reason in the so called yellow house in kossovo. The things she says she suffered she suffered them from her compatriotes the albanians yet she protray serbs as evil? this is pure lie propaganda!
I cannot believe the bravery of this woman. War is horrible and no one benefits especially female civilians. At this moment human trafficking is happening all over the world. Human trafficking is the number one moneymaker. To go through experiences like these and still feel love and kindness to others is a miracle. I hope a day will come when we all put our efforts into healing each other and our planet instead of actions which stun every aspect of our being.❤️
Most victims losing their lives in wars are are male. For example Ukraine the men die in hundreds of thousands while their women are here in Germany living from the money that is forced from the German working people. After 2 1/2 years theres a Flixbus shuttle Service to All mein towns in Ukraine and the busses are booked out all the time and only about 17 or 18 of the Ukrainians here are working. Those who die "at home" are in the vast majority the men.
She talks so eloquently, after everything she’s been through. She’s incredible
She speaks better English than a lot of native speakers
Have you heard what she said ? She came from well educationed familly Father was a doctor and mom was a profesor not teacher but profesor of lenguges and poliglot anyway. I hope you know what is difference when you call someone a profesor and to be a profesor.😮

my grandparents came over in the early 60s
it's because they are not minorities. it's sad there is no voice for Eastern Europeans
That is the horrible fight between brothers that an external entity (USA) cause to Yogoslavia. Is a shame and they repeat the same. I have the same age like her, I can remember the magazines in my house at 10 years old that I take conscience about the world. Remember my parents conversation, the horror of Africa hungry the Gulf War. I want to go with the blue soldiers. I didn't understand that this soldiers was part of the problem and kill the Yugoslavian population. But soon I understood that the "good" people was the worst people. This woman is the voice of the poor and oppressive.
@maquisbg no matter if it's caused by America or the Galactic Empire, there's no justification for what Serbs did in that war. Half of Bosnia had to move away, half of Kosovo had to move away, more than 300k people were killed combined in Bosnia Croatia and Kosovo, over 50 000 women raped just in Bosnia. It's horrific.
We moved to America in 1997
This woman is extraordinary; so much strength. Nothing but respect and love for her!

If there was a choice, it would be much much better if her life led her to actually become a doctor like she wished.

I was kidnapped and the guy's would keep telling me they were going to kill me when they were done. They got a kick out of my fear. I jumped out of the car when they were driving outside the city to bury my body. Out of all the pain from those 4 days what sticks with me the most is the fear of hearing how they were going to kill me. It;s a very hard feeling to explain and sadly others know it as well.

Maybe you can envision yourself as a phoenix rising from the ashes of a painful past. Praying for your healing and wishing you find a strong support system to lean on. When you find yourself recalling bad memories, maybe scream out loud by yourself or punch a pillow, until the negative energy leaves your body. Find ways to release the fear that feels healthy and empowering for you. Please don't be afraid to ask for the help and resources you need to help you get through this. May you have many peaceful and beautiful moments 🙏

Please show her that you are the one she needs to turn to during these hard times and show her the love and grace of Jesus that she’s so deserving of. Let her know there’s so much life left to live and healing is possible❤️🙏🏼
When I hear stories like this, I'm baffled at how people can be so cruel and heartless. You are an absolute warrior, Lurata. I cant imagine surviving all that and not being destroyed by it.
remnants of Austrian, Russian, and Germanization of Europe
Malignant psychopaths, sociopaths and narcissists.
people are very good at "othering" dehumanizing. It's awful. I wish everyone could see we're all the same thing. It breaks my heart to hear these stories of cruelty. It angers me but that won't solve these problems. How do we fix something so horrific? Hurt people hurt and that's not going to change.
The mammalian brain that controls most of our instincts naturally puts people into friend or foe groupings. No matter how rational we try to be it will continue; it's why you have people at work in those groups or during covid you husband might have suddenly become an "enemy" because your circle had shrunk so small.
My heart goes out for her.Yet, praying, praying more for her bec I believe the BEST IS YET TO COME ,in Jesus' Name.
God bless her heart and others like her ,brave and resolute to go on....
It's heartbreaking to hear victims blaming themselves for the evil visited on them. What a brave beautiful woman.

Hey, ich hoffe es geht dir und deiner Familie besser. In Deutschland als Ausländer zu leben ist nicht einfach, ich wünsch dir alles gute :)
Lurata, if you read this, I want you to know that I have this overwhelming sense that your innocence and purity have not been destroyed. I think their intactness shows in your tears when you talk about the inhumane acts you witnessed and suffered. Your innocence and purity make you the wonderful person you are today! ❤ Perhaps they were taken from you then, but in that case I believe you have found and reclaimed them. You inspire me!
I agree so much, she recounts horrible abuse and then says it taught her love, if that's not innocence and purity I don't know what is 🤍
Very well said. She has a beautiful soul
Amen. They took so much from her but they can't take that. I wish her only good things from now on. Such a strong woman.
I agree. Innocence and purity don't have to do with whether a penis entered a vagina. They have to do with your morals and choices! You are choosing to share your stories out of the PUREST desires to help stop trafficking and human trafficking! Pure of heart means sincerely, love and compassion for all. It does NOT mean sex. Your value as a human isn't tied to your sexuality! And I HATE that even today we are telling girls that they don't have value unless their a virgin even though sex is a normal human behavior! That does not make the rape less traumatic as it's probably the worst thing that a person could ever live through. But I hope this helps you know just how wonderful, innocent, beautiful, pure a person you are!
Loretta.. We share the same name❤
Thank you for giving Lurata a place to share her story. Anyone who thinks she's lying has not experienced trauma... they want to remain in their own little safety bubble and not accept that there are evil people in this world who make the choice to hurt others in this way...
This is definitely scary😢
It’s incredible that she held onto her sanity and sense of self. Trauma for children and the innocent is most severe, with the mind dissociating because it can’t reconcile their former life with reality. Her intelligence and imagination probably saved her and remarkably, remain intact. Most minds become fragmented. They become mush. It takes years to reintegrate the personality, but it is possible. Never give up.
The imagination also aids fracturing the mind, so I’m pretty sure she’s desling w/dissociative problems
Are you a psychologist? That’s exactly what I was thinking. How has she healed? And what do you mean by the innocent?
@@ola6002generally children and adults with mental disabilities (Down syndrome etc)
"because I was so destroyed, I've learned so much love from it." This is incredible psychological strength. It is beyond a reframe. It's probably the only way to survive such brutality.
when it got to where she got home and the military came for her I couldn’t believe that wasn’t the end. This woman has been through an insurmountable level of trauma. I hope her life is beyond blessed now
I was very horrified, but confused by how she went back to Serbia. Was she not prevented from doing so?? Was she driven? This part is extraordinarily confusing to me.
@@karenmoedee6740 Yeah, something strange is going on here. I would crawl to the deepest hole to the rest of my life. Even now I'm prepared to just run away in case of any conflict.

My heart goes out to her because she actually experienced being took away from her family and having zero control of anything happening to her or anything around her . Being that helpless and sold to the highest bidder definitely resonates with me and my Ancestors, im praying for this beautiful strong woman! She did not deserve any of this. I'll never understand the evil of this world
The only reason I could stomach watching this was because of how beautifully your soul shines through this horrific darkness. It’s strange to simultaneously be in awe at the cruelty and disgust that lives in some people while also being in awe of the bravery and love you are able to still exude. Lurata, if you ever read this, your strength is incredibly inspiring. The light that shines from your soul will most definitely light the path for many to escape their own personal hell after experiencing such great trauma. It took me almost an hour to string those words together because you have left me mostly speechless but my goodness, you must know, you are an incredible human to find love from such a horrific experience. ❤️
❤
I agree with you 100 %
I echo your feelings ❤
This was one of the most difficult things I've watched, so sorry she had to go through it, those people who did that aren't human anymore.
it's actually astonishing to me how many people do things like that, or condone because they purchase the organs. But watching this channel it's like I mean there was a himan for listen a lower cartel who was killing people since he was like a child, The people who indoctrinate child soldiers after kidnapping them from their parents and killing their parents in some cases in Africa, The description of the Cambodian genocide by that one woman was one of the most insane things I've ever heard although I was already previously kind of aware of that event, The woman who talks about the Rwandan genocide that is totally insane like the number of people involved in those incidents doing those things is like millions of people.
It kind of says one of two things it says either anyone is capable of becoming like that, then circumstances can force or kind of manipulate people into just completely losing all their empathy, or there's just a shit ton of people who are always capable of that.
@@vericacvetkovic9093 Im not fishing through hundreds of comments for yours. Prove it or get out.
@@Velereonicsagree humans are scary 😢
@@VelereonicsIt’s common knowledge what happened in Rwanda.
only humans do this evil so they’re unsurprisingly human
Human depravity never ceases to amaze me. Lurata, thank you for sharing your story of extreme resilience, strength, and love for your parents. I hope that you experience nothing but the good side of humanity for the rest of your life.
It seems to be male depravity more than just a human thing
Why are you saying human depravity? This is the action of males.
She is right..the biggest gift in life is the love your parents show you by caring about you more than themselves
Yah❤SHE IS RIGHT
I am from Croatia. I was 11 years old when war started. It was a nightmare. 😢
She is not lyng.
"Just do it nicely," to the person about to murder her. That floored me. The amount of miracles that had to come together for a young girl to escape the wrath of evil men is mind-numbing. And after all that the next batch of evil was just around the corner. I wish we could know if any of those monsters were arrested or brought to some sort of justice since.
Well said.I agree.This woman is incredibly inspiring.
Probably not. Seems to me that people who do these kinds of things end up fine. It's almost a guarantee in some countries. Just be thankful you live in a country where women have equal rights, if not more.
@@analogueoverdigital929 I see where you're coming from with your answer.I just feel like ANYONE at ANY TIME, can suffer a fate like hers and maybe even irreversible mental trauma.Even in a country where women have equal rights.Equality has nothing to do with the people walking around looking for victims.I get your point, and this is mine.
@@analogueoverdigital929 What makes you think this stuff doesn't go on in countries that have equal rights for women? We don't know of the evils. Human trafficking is not publicly broadcasted. It is hidden in secrecy.
Alan Sandler of Sandler Partners Cloud and Cybersecurity has a dark web criminal network that participates in traumatizing many. Very scary. He has access to every private citizen’s wi-fi.
Everytime she cried, I did too. It is just unimaginable. And I don’t know about everyone else but these events she endured, it all seemed so fast, one literally right after the other. It was only when she said “6 months” in her last place of captivity did it feel like time slowed down and felt hopeless. What an incredible woman. And so young when it happened. I wish nothing but the absolute best and a lifetime of beautiful happiness for her.
Thank you for the bravery to relive your experience and share your incredibly important story. I'm 31 and none of this seems like it can be real, but that's why it's so important for us to know and remember. You were a modern girl just like me and suffered unimaginable adversity and still stand here as such a strong and bright woman. Thank you for this gift of showing us how strong and vulnerable and bold a scared young child can be.

I have interviewed/interrogated people and was trained on how to spot a liar. This woman is telling the truth. My sympathy is with her. No one should have to endure such horrors.
Ye she exhibits all traits of a liar. Her story doesn't add up she shows no physical proof and then the most important thing, decent upper class educated gurls become expensive prostitutes not organ donors.
She extensively whured around behind enemy lines and then made up a story to get to Europe.
Plenty more lying whures around here abusing the immigration system 44:02
You're full of shit as well, because if you were trained you would have noticed her microexpressions and use of language to be completely off. The boss telling his boys to turn her on the back and rpe her is the most obv thing 44:02
This woman is an
amazing human being. How do we properly appreciate someone that has gone through such horrors of the worse kinds of physical and psychological abuse, yet comes away, not twisted with rage and hatred, but with a genuine concern for the well being of others. There are no words for this. She is a guardian angel forged in the fires of traumatic insight. May she be rewarded with unending bright blessings for her goodness. The world need more good people like this lady, but hopefully without all of the terrible experiences.
Very well said.
@vericacvetkovic9093 we listen so their voice is heard and give them validation. Not that she needs it. But validation helps people to heal. The more uncomfortable it makes me the more I realize it is something we should not ignore.
God Bless All Of Us 🙏 not just a few !!!!!!
Listen to your story brings tears, you are such a strong woman, but i pray the Lord gives you double for your troubles , i also pray he healed your broken heart, and comforts you with his peace
I am from Croatia. Breaks my heart what she went through knowing how hard life was back then and how good and warm people are here. I was born few years before the war and I remember a few situations but I wasn’t old enough. But it did broke my family. My mom ran away with me to safety and my dad went to the States. I still remember the sirens in the park and going home.
My family members almost died while bombing Zagreb. I have older friends with severe PTSD still.
I don’t know why it shocks me that people took advantage of the horrors of war and did things like this. It boils my heart what our countries went through, what people went through, and in what state it left our countries.

@@vericacvetkovic9093 you are the only one lying
It was all so terrible and then she said "i was in there for 6 months", and my jaw dropped. How you could make it through 6 months in isolation is completely unfathomable to me. Lurata is a beautiful soul. Im moved by her story. Thank yiu for being so vulnerable and shsring this all with us ❤
😢 I know they left on a cliff hanger when she asked “dad, why did it take you so long?” I wonder what his answer was… so so sad
It's truly a miracle that she's alive and was able to survive this with her dignity, kindness, spirit and capacity to love as she does intact. I recall when this war was occurring and how frantic I was about it needing to be stopped and that especially the children needed to be rescued. I prayed fervently about this and had prayer partners praying also. Doing the same with the situation in Gaza, as many other prayer warriors have done during other wars and crises where the innocent are suffering and dying for the greed, lusts, envy and violence of some have put the many in grave danger, suffering great harm.
May God be with her in her calling and may God bring all of us, His children through these great trials, to better times and better days or home with Him forever to be safe.
My family is also from that region, I grew up hearing the horrific tragedies, including stories of the ‘yellow house’ where gruesome torture for body parts were happening. Sadly will continue to happen as more wars progress, we need change. Thank you, Lurata, for having the courage to do this.
🇵🇸 🇸🇩 🇾🇪
How hypocritical for you to put that horrific pallie flag when this is exactly how they treat Jews on October 7. How embarrassing you writing it needs to change and then supporting the very people who are doing this today you should be ashamed
Yes, it was run by Albanians. It seems she is not Slavic so she is not telling all the truth about the situation. And still, Kosovo is the human/organ trafficking center and runner by we know who. Also in recent years a lot of people in Macedonia have been missing (people suspect that is organ trafficking) and there is a case that wasn't done justice: a mother giving birth in a hospital, the doctor is an Albanian, took out her healthy organs. Thank God they didn't take her child too. ANd still, he is protected because he is Albanian.
@@mirjanaobednikovska7661I am Macedonian and there are as bad Macedonian people as Albanian. Please do not blame whole nationality for the dirty work of few .. because you know there are Macedonians that got paid of in that hospital to cover the atrocities! Stop the nationalism. It's not us versus them is bead people against good and as long as both sides don't see that nothing will ever be ok. Sure Albanian did horrible crimes during the war but so did the serbs and before your start spatting Balkan trash at me I speak from experience! Macedonian and Serbs can be as bad as the worst Albanian
@@SlavicFairy-qk9uw she needs to tell the truth. First of all, Albanians are the ones that are doing the human/drug/organ/child trafficking since they are supported by the USA and EU. Otherwise, be sure they would do a whole investigation about the "yellow house" and we wouldn't have this conversation since it would be a well-known fact. In my country Albanians raped, and massacred soldiers (one of them was calling the family at the moment and his family heard over the phone all that happened to them), employees of a hotel they attacked. From our side, there was no raping or massacres. In the end, you know who pulled out the terrorists - ALbanians? The Brits as always.
She should tell the truth about who did all that stuff.
Stop tour BS
I am 40 minutes in, admiring her strength, resilience, and candidness ....and all I can think of is "how dare they give P.O.W. total power and leave her in their care". I am so glad she is here to tell this story. Bravo to her father!❣
This had to be such a surreal experience ❤ i am so saddened ❤
@@nancypowers6392 I was too. What strength she had. What determination to get back to her family, I can't dwell , as It is an atrocity that is heartbreaking. ❤🩹It is worse to think it still goes on.....in parts of the world.
I know, she had just been rescued and was needed as a witness!😮
It is absolutely terrible how people are detached from their humanity and they are pushing war efforts. I am sorry that this young lady had to live this through!
They were always devils, war just gave them the excuse to act it out.
The Stanley Milgram experiment also explains this pretty well. Dehumanization also explains this.
Especially with the wars currently happening I fear we are going back to those dark times when we should be past that and never look back
Civil war is truly heinous and I consider its any war of neighboring counties
@KaltrinaDemir❤ it's gonna get worse
Can't imagine the courage it takes to not only live through this but also to retell it. My love to this exemplary human being ❤
Anyone who does not believe this woman is living a life in a bubble, they have the luxury to not only be unharmed, but to not even believe harm exists. Godspeed, you somehow managed to escape.
I'm from that region and all what is told on this interview it was real , very commune and also banal on that time. No need to lie over it. Only ppl who do not have a clue on what is an genocide, can't believe that this story are really every day stories on war time .
@@lymitutit3046 if you are born in 1980s, what age will you , at most be an latest 1995?its the inconsistencies that make it unbelievable. also she tries to frame her parents as these poor people, before war but their professional are very noble
You can say that. It's like we say anyone of you believing this live in your bubble. Just because someone tells a story, everyone has to believe it? That's how you get manipulated.
When I was a child, my mother told me the same as her dad: “if you want to help other people, you will be helping other people anyway in any work you choose to do”.
My grandma and mom taught us that the most important thing was to live by the "Golden Rule"..and "Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you".
Unfortunately nowadays people want to do unto you what they don't want done unto them. Smh
Thank you, Lurata for sharing your story. What happened to you and thousands of other women during this conflict is beyond horrific. I am so glad you made it out and were reunited with your loving family and I wish you nothing but a happy and peaceful life. ❤️
This woman is a Hero and survived, by the grace of God....She is much more than a survivor......she is an Inspiration...😢
This one has me in tears. War is absolutely horrific, and sometimes, people lose their moral compass. Sexual violence is more common than people think. There were cases documented in WWII.
My heart breaks for this woman, but she is truly a brave survivor. She will be in my prayers, and I will remember her story. ❤
Im from Croatia. Everything this lady says is true. Sending big hugs ❤ Love and good will always win. ❤❤❤

I just want to hug her……😔 my heart absolutely breaks for what she had to endure. People are taken, sold and murdered every day….. all due to greed. Humans are vile creatures… far too many people do not deserve the gift of life.
Be as kind as possible, remain grateful for all you have.. even if it is just a little and have the day you deserve❤
Moved to tears. Incredible woman - and doing this for all the other incredible women across the world who she represents. What a mean, bitter, awful world we've created
When she talks about her dad finding her, that's what got me. Such an incredible woman, to have gone through so much, so young, and come out the other side
I dont understand what she meant when she said "my dads face, being a doctor, said it all" like she could have just said "my dads face said it all" so what is it about being a doctor that is important when he rescues her? in fact what does it mean at all when she says it "said it all," what did it say?
@@MySmileStillStaysOnno. She meant that her was horrified by her horrible physical state. It mean he looked at her and realized that she was half dead from her torture and he was crushed by white saw!
The moment she said what took you so long? That’s what I don’t understand. Hunts me now: why didn’t they try to get her out of there earlier ?
@@mariaannenkova7954 The environment of fear, threats, violence and rumours is surreal and volatile. People become hypervigilant and listen for any lulls in the tension in order to try their luck. I an guessing it took her dad time to build trust to start enquiries.
@@MySmileStillStaysOn It means, that as doctor her father immediatly knew what had happened to her
What a phenomenal, strong, beautiful, resilient, kind, woman. I pray she finds peace.
This lady is a remarkable human! I can’t believe all she has endured but am so proud of her strength, resilience and determination. What a beautiful soul. You can tell she still teleports back to the events emotionally, as she retells her story.

Such a heartbreaking story 😢You’re a survivor and anyone who thinks you are lying is pathetic 😢Thank you so much for sharing this part of your life and I pray God continues Blessing you and may he protect you 🙏🙏🙏
What an incredible woman! To go through all that horror and still have the strength to be strong and to show love is amazing! I hope the rest of your life is happy and safe
Finally the Yugoslav story told in the most mesmerising way possible. I wish these things wouldn't had happened to you...at the same time I feel proud that such a beautiful soul has a chance to tell it properly.❤
There's nothing of Jugoslavian story in there?
Yugoslav story?
@@egyptianhibiscus9203 stupid! Understand one thing; siptars were drug dealers, organ dealers -I do know that jugoslavian government was aware of it- but; were they real masters or siptars reporting to mafia in newyork, that again I cannot tell. But jugoslavian story it is not. Unless grabbing and killing jugoslavians makes em accomplices i sick minds.
This is too heavy for me to finish listening all at once. Can't imagine how terrifying it was for Lurata. I'm so sorry that she had to endure such physical and mental torture.
So much love to you, Lurata. There really are no words for your suffering, but I am so incredibly sorry for what happened to you. Thank you for sharing your strength ❤
My beloved Ancestors are from Slovenia. This was heartbreaking and I'm so happy to know she is alive! Blessings 10x to her and her future. 💐🤍🌟

Just wander off,please.

Her final words about love and kindness were so impactful.
Lurata, you are more brave than most of the world. Thank you for sharing your story and that is of many women of the world. I hope you're happy as can be, wherever you are now.
This was an extremely rough watch. I hope very much that Lurata has a loving support system around her and that she's prospering in her life now
This broke my heart, I'm fighting the urge to cry, I am so sorry that we live in a world full of monsters, what this brave lady is describing is beyond my imagination, may you find your peace m'aam, nobody should ever go through that 😢
This woman is a living saint. Sharing your story is a great kindness to others who have endured similar circumstances. Because you witness, they know they are not alone and there is strength in numbers.
What a sick world we live in. Heartbreaking story.

My daughter is a survivor of human trafficking in Canada. We live our lives so innocently not knowing the evil that exists around us. But I sure found out there’s a dark place in Canada
Can I know in what province please?
@@LadyEdenLibra Ontario , Waterloo/Kitchener. What saved her was when we first moved to Ontario we stayed in London in a hotel for a month so she got to know the area and when she escaped she recognized where she was and was able to run. When they take girls they take them to different towns to disorient them. A lot of motels are used to hold these girls and are involved in the trafficking of them.
@@GreenBean3141 thank you🤍sorry about your daughter
there are dark places everywhere... the brighter a country is shining, the darker their dark places are.... just to give you an glimps of an idea what is happening in countries like USA, China, Emirates aso
@@2pek77 I never even knew about human trafficking until what happened to my daughter, I spent 30 yrs thinking life was what I saw it to be.
I have no words. What a brave woman to speak out aboutbher survival. She's truly amazing.
Its beyond words what humans are capable of, the evil, and pain. I'm so glad she survived, but it is unfathomable that this is still happening, in wars and children around the world. I had my own torment as a domestic abuse survivor, 23 years. It happens everywhere even next door. I just wish with all my heart it could be stopped. Its the hardest thing to escape.
This is one of the rare moments in my life, where i dont really know, what to say...
Huge respect to Lurata for sharing her story. Best wishes.
Lurata Lyon’s story will stay with me forever. I can’t stop thinking what I (and others) can do to make a difference in this world.
Im 40 years old. I remember the early 90s in school. So many Bosnian and Yugoslavian refugees. I remember the horror stories i had been told by these poor people. Feels like yesterday
I'm from Slovenia. When I was a kid in the 90's, we had refugees from that horrible war between Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia. My mom would later tell me stories she read in the newspapers about young teenage girls, woman captured by soldiers, and kept in rooms naked, raped 24/7. Horrific stories. My country Slovenia had a 10 day war with Serbia, combats were mostly on our border, I can't imagine what would happen to us if they would come inside our country, I don't think I'd be here today. Thank God we managed to become independent. But that Balkan civil war is still one thing I get sensitive about.
In serbia, all people deny these crimes against humanity and actually worship war criminals as heroes. Until to this day.
@@aaania30💔😥🙏
I'm 45 I remember too! A
Yes, I remember too - I met some Bosnian children and knew them quite well.
This woman is so amazing.Her truth is absolutely heartbreaking, and the fact that she didnt just curl up in the fetal position and give up, is absolutely inspiring.Her emotional strength is empowering and i wish nothing but the best for her moving forward.❤
What courage and strength someone needs to live this endless nightmare and in the end say “I feel super lucky” and “because I was so destroyed I have learned so much love from it and kindness”..
I was held hostage at gunpoint and told I was going to be killed but I managed to escape. I was a teenager. I never told my covert narcissist dad or my mom. I bottled it up for years and developed cPTSD. It’s been hell. The worst part is later. During the event there is so much adrenaline that one does not feel anything as it would be a distraction from surviving. Maybe I already was developing cPTSD at the time as my early traumas were significant. I empathize with anyone traumatized at a young age.
S*xual assault by a family member at 13. Just as you described, I remember a moment afterwards where I was alone in the bathroom and it felt like a silent bell ringing in me, the muted soundwaves moving through me. I sat on the floor and waited for the adrenaline to run out. My body didn't feel real.
so sorry you went through that.Jesus heals
That's awful, dealing with a narcissistic personality disordered parent is bad enough, but on top of this it must have been terrible. Thanks for your strength and God bless.
I am so sorry for what you have gone through. I can’t believe what so called humanity can do to each other. You are an inspiration to all of us. I am heartbroken to hear what you have gone through. Much love and respect
I remember visiting Croatia and walking onto a deserted beach thinking it was just abandoned. Walking up to the buildings you could see huge shell holes in them and my blood ran cold. I later found out that they housed women and children fleeing the war but got shelled anyway. After that just walking around the town you could then see shell and bullet holes in the plaster of some of the buildings. Once you knew what you were looking at you couldn’t unsee it. I remembered seeing the war on the tv as a kid but it didn’t make sense to me. I have a great respect for that place now
Same here, we visited in 2003 was an eye opener, amazing people they are…
I am from Croatia. You can still see bullet holes in some cities.
I don’t think Vukovar ever recovered. I cry every year when we honour the fall of Vukovar. I feel so grateful that the only thing I remember are the sirens. Sirens are still tested every month, first Saturday in the month. When the war in Ukraine started, people were high alerted, still there is a high PTSD among people, they stopped the sirens for a while because it disturbed all of us.
Serbians did that

So keep crying. Bc the difference of the west and what happened in Yugoslavia is, that you can close your eyes and sleep without worrying about what’s going to happen vs citizens in Yugoslavia had to worry every day and night about what was going to happen to them.

@@JenniferMerrington The war in Yugoslavia happened over 30 years ago. This woman is well over 40 years old.
Thank you Lurata for being so brave and strong. Thank you!
I got complete chills and my throat closed up when Lurata made it to the police officer. I immediately started crying for her at that point. The strength of women astounds me every day.
The dignity, humility, self-respect & self-containment in this lady is almost unfathomable, given her traumatic experiences. I hope she lives a long, safe & fulfilling life 🙏💖 And the same for the other survivors of war atrocities that I found in the comments (amongst all the usual regrettable, disrespectful trash talk) 🙏💗
Thank you Lurata for telling your horrific story. I am so terribly sorry that this happened to you. It is hard to acknowledge that humans are capable of such depravity. We all need to know that this level of depravity exists if we are ever to evolve to a point where it is not allowed to exist in any population under any circumstances.
Its almost unimaginable what a human being is capable of doing to another human, this shows in 3 million years were still animals.
No, animals aren’t capable of such cruelty, only humans are. 😢
Nope. We are worse then animals

Incredible is your survival, l hope so much for you that love and happiness now surrounds you every day - may the horrific ordeals you suffered encourage and hasten world action to eradicate this heiness crime of human trafficking.
She gave me goosebumps the moment she sat down. The way she carries herself - and to see the words “human trafficking survivor” across the screen at the same time - she’s got an incredible strength inside her. I love this so much.
She's so incredibly brave to share her story, as she was describing everything she took me on that journey with her - but I can't even imagine actually experiencing anything like that. Thank you so much for sharing your story, I cried with you and my heart broke into pieces with you. And it makes me that much more grateful for what I have today and who I am. May God continue to heal you as what happened will always be a wound.
I'm currently reading this fiction book that deals with the trafficking of young girls and women into sexual slavery and I just came across this video. My heart breaks and it's so depressing knowing that we live in a world where monsters operate in utter depravity and no matter what the law and and justice system (that's broken and only works for the elite few) does to go after these human waste, such sickening acts will continue until the end of time. Some people come to this world to wreak havoc and prey on the innocent with their psychotic behaviours and there's nothing much we can do but try to protect one another and stand up to injustices and crimes against humanity.
I'm so sorry to this lady for going through the pain that she did and pray for her healing.
Watch Beyond Fantasy, a docu about some pedo Max Hardcore. It opened my eyes further but be warned- you'll be watching some poor teen girl get SA'd. I still wonder how that girl is....
This lady is so incredibly brave and so incredibly strong. I am so glad you made it through this. Dear God, humans are brutal, brutal creatures. You know here I am in my pretty privileged life and there are probably millions of people going through a similar situation to her right now. It’s really hard to have words.
Thank you Lurata Lyon.
Respect to you.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Being held against your will, kidnapped and tortured for a woman always means sexual assault, that’s how we are perceived in war and in society to harm a woman they have to abuse her also. Hope this helps to raise awareness of the different kind of violence we face added to the violence men hostages are subjected to too
