Fighting against forced prostitution

Consistent with the ethics of consent and non-violence, the economic provisions of Code d’ Odalisque are directed against the abusive forms of modern slavery – human trafficking and forced prostitution.

Every year thousands of women are taken or lured into forced prostitution. The story of “Tanya” is typical. She was lured to Abu Dhabi with a promise of work. when she arrived in Abu Dhabi she was taken to a brothel where a pimp told her that he had bought her for $7000. From that moment on she was to work as a prostitute until she paid off her so-called debt. After three months of captivity, “Tanya” managed to escape. She bolted to a police station and recounted her story. Incredibly, she was charged with prostitution and sentenced to three years in a desert prison. In 2001, psychologically crushed and ashamed, she was released. Nothing happened to her pimp. Branded a prostitute by the Muslim nation, she was summarily deported back to her Ukraine.

There are thousands of women like “Tanya”.

Since Code d’ Odalisque makes a “game” and a “lifestyle” of sexual slave-play we cannot ignore the plight of real victims of real slavery. Slave play in Code d’ Ode is completely consensual. The economic aspects of the Code work to raise money to help combat forced prostitution.
