I was sex trafficked for years. Brothels are hidden in plain sight. | Casandra Diamond | TEDxToronto

Sex trafficking may be happening behind the walls of businesses you pass daily - including the some of the massage parlours and holistic centres in your community. Casandra Diamond shares a harrowing story of her experience inside these modern day brothels: in this raw and honest talk, learn about the systemic issues that enable businesses to operate in plain sight and how you can help to advocate for change. Casandra is the founding director of BridgeNorth, a survivor-led charitable organization that provides programs to assist victims of sexual exploitation and human trafficking. Her work includes investing in public education, awareness, and advocacy at all levels of government including supporting Bill C-36 which is now law as the Protection of Communities and Exploited Persons Act. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    I believe I was almost trafficked in the south of France with my sister. A man approached us, speaking French very friendly like, I told him I didn’t speak French, but he kept following me and talking to me and wouldn’t go away. He then got on his cellphone, called someone and a man appeared across the street, and was walking over to us quickly. I told my sister, RUN and we took off like lightning and I didn’t look back until we reached the hotel and locked our door. Could’ve been nothing, but I had a very bad feeling and trusted it.

    There are dislikes (I disliked the video) not because people do not sympathize with this woman--but that MANY (some think a majority) people believe prostitution should be legal. This is not just about (as she says) the right of a man to buy a woman--but the rights of a woman to do as she pleases with her body. I've been to Toronto, and have been to body rub parlors there. It is 100x safer for the workers and customers than anything in the US. Almost ALL are managed by women. I'm not saying women are not victimized, but these businesses serve a valuable purpose in communities--and have since the dawn of time.

    I think Ive been given an opportunity to save someone from a simililar fate. if only I knew what to do. as I was taking a online class to identify possible trafficking victims, a face came to mind. she's very shy, absent frequently , and wears long clothes that completly hide her arms and legs regardless of the weather, maybe to hide injuries? she's been in my class for 3 years straight and is in mine this year. I don't have any solid evidence so I haven't called the police yet. I need some guidance, what can I do? I keep telling myself it's probably nothing, after all I live in a rich, safe neighborhood, but I keep losing sleep over it at night, so I just don't know what to do. please, any advice would be appreciated. ( edit) after talking to a mutual friend, she pointed out a few holes in my theory, so I’m fairly certain she’s safe. Thank you everyone for your help though.

    Owen Keenan I know you’re probably asking this question to ladymomdragon but I will attempt to answer. Keep in mind that I do not have experience with these situations but this is what came to mind. You can try being her friend and possibly over time she might open up about it. I’m assuming if that is what’s happening she might be standoffish about making friends or even talking about it. So I would suggest being persistent even if she doesn’t seem to respond to being friends just over time continue to try being friendly and hopefully eventually she will open up and then you can go about getting her help. Or possibly contact authorities and they can talk with her. I’m sorry I don’t have experience with this so it’s probably not the greatest advice. I really hope everything turns out to be ok

    I like that. I grew up on a farm and my summers were spent in the garden. While the others in town were on summer vacations, at pools, taking tennis lessons, golf lessons, going to various camps, going to retreats, having sleepovers, and slumber parties and I was picking beans and cleaning the chicken coop and feeding pigs rotted food from a grocery store. My dad drank a lot and I'd have to make him his drinks when he got home or get kicked, so I did appreciate the teachers that didn't need to know what we did (and have us read it out loud).

    It’s amazing how Jesus can actually totally heal the soul. It’s extraordinary. Her soul was bleeding 🩸 it got me thinking, ...why don’t we create Soul Hospitals? How would a Soul Hospital treat them to recover within days instead of months? 🤔 I really like that term...Soul Hospital. I am building a non-profit organization so children and their family can learn to fulfill their dreams and become leaders who also guide others to become leaders. Im thinking 🤔 I can add this as a part of an outreach. I would need to equip the right people first for at least 3 to 6 months with different seminars and books before they are called Soul Nurses. I think, I will need to start by finding what seminars are there. I can even save for a SUV “Soul Ambulance 🚑 “ I also would need to build studios so they can stay there to recover. It’s a challenge because I have to save big time and it will take time, but many times we are willing to do more for others than for ourselves. Just the thought 💭 of all this, ... it’s exciting. 😍 I pray God gives me a long life to make it happen. I totally love this idea 💡. Little by little, we can accomplish a lot.

    I'm not a woman but I understand her completely. My father left when I was born and from there I was passed around from "guardian" to another and another. A fair sum of these "guardians" exploited me and took every shred of self love I could ever have. How sad that our story is nothing unique.. it's happening right now as I type this to thousands if not millions of others. When the light in the eyes of a child goes out, it's a tragedy.

    I am from India, I was in LA for my sister's graduation. Later on for a couple of days I was sight seeing and doing all touristy things all by myself ( my sister had a new job). A couple of times, strange men approached me, asking me out or giving me an invite for a late night party etc. It was scary. Why would one approach someone whom they don't even know? Being from India, I have this in built radar, I must say, to keep away from strangers. But, so many young, vulnerable, lonely girls can fall prey to such seemingly harmless invitations with sinister motives. I think girls, like in India, must be taught to not trust strangers. If you date, know the guy, know his family, occupation and then think of dating. Don't trust anyone.

    The real issue is deeper than just saying it’s the men. Yes, the patrons should be punished, but like she said, it is a societal issue. Beyond the forced human trafficking and woman sold into the trade, there are also plenty of sugar baby’s/escorts who willingly continue to provide services and contribute to the system that creates stories like Cassandra’s. All parties need to be held accountable, and society as a whole must change. It starts with the family unit.

I remember we passed a man sitting on a bench, surrounded by women. We entered a store right in front of these people. He sent one of his women in to entice me to go out of the store to speak to the man. I remember her saying that the man "will treat you really nice." I was 16 and luckily, my home life was safe and loving. I remember I continually told her no, until she left me alone.

    I work close to a corner where girls are made to stand all day every day. After a while you recognise the different girls and their rotation patterns. I would say hi and smile walking past, but quickly felt like I needed to do more. I started asking friends and family on how best to help but nobody knew how. The thing I was worried about was not getting them in more trouble than they already were. One day, it was freezing cold that it hurt to spend any time outside at all. I walked past the corner and, as always, one of the girls was there. She looked miserable and I could see the despair in her eyes as she looked up at me as I said hi to her. That same day I got the courage to call the police and explained the situation. They thanked me for the info and that was that. It's been a year now that I've been working in that area. I have contacted police a couple times, but it's still the same 4 girls working that corner on rotation. The police never did anything to help them...

    My mom & I went on a 10 day cruise to the Panama Canal over Thanksgiving 2019. One of the stops was Cartagena , Colombia. While a van was taking me (from mid-west USA), and several other gals from Florida on a 2.5 hour tour, I saw two groups of ~ 30 young women ages ~ 15 - 25 being paraded through a mixed zone of apartments / & small businesses. They were all "dolled up," & looked proud to be "in the parade" - but, upon seeing the 1st group, I was pretty sure what was "going on." When 5 minutes later, I saw a 2nd similar group of young ladies being paraded through a poor area of Cartagena - I was sure that the young women were being subjected to human trafficking. I thought about the poverty and barrios that were nearby. I told the other women riding in the van, what I suspected upon seeing the 1st group of young women. Nobody believed me. But, upon seeing the 2nd group within 5 minutes... everyone knew; & we all fell silent. Human Trafficking OFTEN OCCURS right out in the open -- just as Casandra has attested. My son & his girlfriend witnessed it, at a dance club at midnight, in a popular U.S. city a couple of months ago. They said the "bouncers" and "managers" were signaling to each other, about "who in attendance" they could "trust to keep their secret"...... When my son realized what kind of place they were in, they "got out of there" - ASAP.... horrifying -- & I pray that we can save girls, young ladies, & grown women from this horrifically under-valued, & in-humane existence. Casandra: you are a hero, & your advocacies make a huge difference.....

    @Midnight Mystery My son & his GF know this "tropical resort-y US location" well; her parents have a 2nd home there; your comment is the 1st thing I said to him- when he described the awful situation to me. He sadly answered; his GF & her parents are quite aware that the local police "are in on it." I know this tropical destination well- & immediately I knew in my heart of hearts that he was correct. It is SO HARD to notify local law enforcement, when that entity is part of the bold-faced lying & corruption. Certain social services, & law agencies you can tell-- & sadly; too many of the managers & staff receive "silence invoking" fringe benefits. Sadly, it seems we need to rely more on organizations like Love One Another mentions above: former CIA Agent Timothy Ballard's Operation Underground Railroad....

    Such a tough subject. Being captive isn't about someone holding a gun to your head. It's about mindset and not realizing there are other options because no one has opened your mind to them. Given her background growing up, she was vulnerable and didn't know her worth. She also didn't have anyone reaching out to show her healthy possibilities. So, she was used until she found help. Not believing her or blaming her feels like blaming the person who is depressed for not just "snapping" out of it.

    A tough subject indeed. Nonetheless, blaming it all on the perpetrators is a double edged weapon. As long as this society will run on money and power, men (and women) that exploit young people will just keep doing this. Without awareness there's so salvation. People must be taught how to defend themselves from this situations and must understand that without their collaboration those people have no power in a civilized nation. She let circumstances get grip on her until she was powerless to change her own fate any longer. She's a victim for sure, but she had a role in her own demise and we need to realize this so that in the future nobody will end up like her...

If you're just using it to imply the speaker has to adapt her speech or something, that's wrong. She's telling it from a female perspective as well. Why would she address a male outlook if she's a women and focusing on women? She never implied it didn't. She's talking about girls, who arguably get roped into it more easily.

    Thank you Casandra for being willing to relive the trauma each time you tell your story to make others aware of what is legally taking place right under our noses. You are an amazing individual and I truly hope that you are getting any professional mental health help you need in order to recover as much as possible from the neglect and abuse of all kinds that you endured for so many years.

    Thank you for your bravery. I thwarted a potential kidnapping at 17 by two guys in a car with no license plate. At 43, I often believe that my life would have been similar. GOD blessed you with a voice and you are blessing others with your story. Keep fighting!!

    I'm very fortunate to have a mother who loves me,even tho she doesnt financially support me but she sustains me with food,advice and encouragement and that's a huge contribution into my life. On days where the whole world shut me out I know I'll have my mom. And that makes me want to be a better person..and I'm aware that there are many mothers who are abusive to their children so I don't hold motherhood to a pedestal..but I do wish for everyone to have atleast one person in their life who will show them unconditional affection..
