Ugandan women tricked into domestic slavery in Iraq
 
Ugandan women tricked into domestic slavery in Iraq

Can it be called slavery when one "minority" does it to another? Is it really slavery since the women volunteered for it? She did sign a "contract". Think Al and the rest of the race pimps in the US even care?

".......Prossie was working as a schoolteacher when she heard an attractive advert on Ugandan radio.

A Kampala company called Uganda Veterans Development Ltd was recruiting women to work for high wages in shops in US Army bases in Iraq.

She signed up, along with 146 other Ugandan women. ........."

"Domestic slavery" has been an issue around the world for a number of years. Somehow it seems the average person just can't get all that worked up about it.

Definitely. They volunteered for one job, but fell victim to the ol' bait and switch - not unlike eastern european women being sold into sexual slavery after having been promised some other legitimate employment opportunity. That the victim and their captor are of the same race, minority or not, does not diminish the fact that one has been unwittingly "enslaved," IMHO.

A lot of South East Asian women fall or are sold into situations like these, also...
