     Nicholas Kristof's story is very moving. I feel that his story gives more hope on getting the sex slaves free from the brothels. It is sad however for Srey Mom, he buys her freedom but at the end she decides to return to the brothel. I think she feels trapped, half wanting to leave the brothel and half wanting to stay because that is what she is accustomed to.Kristof's proposal was well thought out. (1) pressure on foreign governments to crack down on brothels with underage girls or those held against their will (Kristof). This is a great idea, more crack downs on brothels ,means more free sex slaves.  (2) promotion of condoms to keep prostitutes alive (Kristof). Promotion of condoms will lower their risks of getting a sexually transmitted disease. (3) above all, literacy and job programs to raise the status of girls and women(Kristof). This will make them more educated and ready for the normal workforce to be more respected in the community.
