Australia Opens Sanctuary for Trafficked Women

The Atheist sanctuary for trafficked women who don't have imaginary friends is just across the road.

I think the point is the Salvos ARE doing something good. So what are the Atheists doing? I don't know of any charities run by Atheists, do you? They leave all that stuff to the christians. If they want to demonstrate what nice people they are, they need to start doing good works and respecting the views of others instead of continually attacking them.

Not all the atheists on Sydney Indymedia attack others all the time. I think it's probably just one objectionable person. The rest are fine and easy to get along with.  However that one will be along in a minute accusing the Salvos of indoctrinating these women. Never misses a chance to have a go at someone.

Interesting atheist bashing here...

Take a look at http://www.atheistvolunteers.org/

The Salvo's do good work. I've shopped at their stores for cheap nice stuff. Fantastic little system.

Many atheists have in fact been involved for many years  in setting up women’s refuge houses for abused women and real choice for women to control their own bodies with access to sensible birth control information and abortion access  when necessary.

The salvation army used to specialise in locking up unmarried pregnant girls , helping to sweep social problems out of sight.

This  house for 10 will only begin  start to touch the commercial side  of the problem but it seems will also allow some people an opportunity  to point at religion and say see how good we are, look at our good works and use it as a chance  to attack atheists and fight the necessity for real changes.

“Faith based “ charities are more likely to attract government support in Australia and in the US ,Obama announced like Bush intends to funnel government money to these “faith based “charities”.

But consider the reports on organisation like Hilltop and the money getting services they provided for Aboriginal people –nice little gov. funded business.

Sex slavery depends on closed borders.

What Australia  has typically done is detain these victims without medical care or other considerations of their human and workers rights,  then deport them. Or jail first and then deport.

Often   Australia allows migrants visas to Australia  only if there is already a marital engagement, a practice that itself is going to tend to promote false weddings and sex slavery-like conditions.

See vivan alvares case.

Considered by police and beauracrats as asian and therefore probably ‘prostitute” and therefore having no human rights. deported  and dumped into the Philippines desite the desperate need for medical care.

The exposure of this particular case has required expensive compensation to  an Australian .

Even ausisie  chauvinist can agree with that as a right.

Many other criminalised victims having no rights as Australians have been swept under the carpet.

It is natural that the government might seek to support financially a well meaning faith based inititive to head of future costs from the worst of future cases.

Hopefully a cheap way out.

This atheist will agree that Vivian luckily fell into the care of a catholic womens refuge in the P.I. Set up it seems by former foreign radical priests who are often busy picking up the pieces for child victims of the tourist sex industry in the PI.

Severely under funded by charity of course.

Indeed. Their work is often based in the area of a big former US military bases as many of the children victims in this trade are often the children of the  poor children cynically  abandoned by the US military. Especially Black children.

The  poverty continues on to the next generation  of victims.

But foreign paedophile priests active in this area of concern ,working with child victims, are also well known  .

 And have been protected from exposure in various ways by the church and  government.

Cia factbook claims atheists only 2.32 % of world people

Could it be said that the Salvation Army has created a HALF-WAY HOUSE for women that have gone ALL THE WAY?

Then there are 457 visas  temporary contract workers

 (no complaints allowed or loss of job and detention and deportation can follows swiftly )

Sexual exploitation may be  par for the course.

The labour aristocracies unions mostly help to manage this “kanaka” slave system “fairly” in the interest of “the national economy” and preserving the earlier settlers labour monopolies   not the rights of the imported workers.
