<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong>It is a sad fact that in this day and age torture, rape and sex trafficking still go on.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Recently in Scotland a brothel, exploiting enslaved young girls, was closed down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>These terrible acts of cruelty can destroy lives, but it is possible to make a difference.</strong></span></p>
