Colleagues going to meet a woman working on the road. Sometimes the pimp takes her to work in Italy. I asked her about a quota of clients or other obligations she has to the pimp and she listed a whole slew of things from washing his car and filling it with petrol to working for him wherever and whenever⦠no need for details here. I then asked her what he does for her.
She thought a moment and came up with headaches, grief, sadness, problems, etc. Then I asked her why she still works for him. She could not answer⦠enslaved in her mind and heart, not by chains. Seemingly hopeless. But not entirely. Go figure. There IS hope for Pamela, and many other like her. I met so many people, expats and Bulgarians alike working tirelessly for hope and freedom for the exploited. In all , I traveled to three different cities Sofia, Stara Zagora, Sliven to present workshops, provide consultation, and most of all to listen and learn.
Highlights of the trip include:. Sharing about self care with Bulgarian colleagues. Bulgaria, like most Eastern European countries, has a large problem with exploitation and human trafficking. Bulgaria is also a beautiful country with beautiful people. Much ground work was laid for future consultations and workshops and I very much look forward to returning there again soon!
Sharing the mic with my interpreters: a couple of dear Bulgarian sisters! Like this: Like Loading Post to Cancel. Post was not sent - check your email addresses!
