  • Grizelda Grootboom is a victim of sex trafficking, but the reality that she was trafficked by her friend is hurting her more. She said the incident happened when she decided to relocate from Cape Town to Johannesburg in hopes of starting life afresh with someone she called a "friend" when she was 18 years old.
    The United Nations says thousands of women in Africa are being trafficked every year. Grootboom has since written a book called ‘Exit’ to help get women out of sex slavery and prostitution. Human trafficking is still here. Please share as much as you can, comment and like.

      Not really. You have to choose the right friends and associates. Women can bring you down. And some are all about themselves - just like some men.

    People that can do such things really are the sickest humans ever...I hope they suffer all the pain,torment and anguish they inflicted on you and that they can never rest easy.
    I wish healing for every woman who has ever been degraded or abused in such a horrific way and men too and that they may know their power and worth and be healed of all the trauma.xx Blessings to all who need healing.

    These kinds of stories are very disturbing, and very upsetting
    I believe in the Safety and Well-being for Women, Children, and Men
    WOMEN Have the RIGHT to FEEL SAFE and BE SAFE
    This is a reply post regarding a article on Assault Against Woman:
    For what is statistically true, or accurate, and even what is not included statistically, and all other crime such as this is what is ( violence against women) Always unacceptable...
    Women have the Right to Feel SAFE and be Safe...
    No woman..., or person....child...should ever have to experience this kind heinous personal intrusion in their lifetime, this seems to be occurring at least according to news reports more, and all to often.
    Actually this activity should be in a stage, or state of Reversal, and NOT Increasing, I am continually upset as well as greatly disturbed in hearing such stories, as I have always have been...
    My Heart Always... goes out to any person which have experienced any such similar experience of intrusion, attacks, and, or invasion of their personal well-being... due violence, and or violent behavior,
    I will continue Praying for the Safety and Well-Being of Others...
    Keep everyone SAFE
    PLEASE BR SAFE
    Your Life is important

    You are a brave and beautiful woman. As you go forward to help other victims, I wonder how sting operations might work successfully. Such as an undercover agent posing as a man who wants to pay for sex with an underaged child. Once he establishes himself as a client, wouldn’t the police be able to raid the place and arrest all of the kidnapper pimps involved?
