Sexual Slavery in India

Given the ongoing snow and inability to go out last Sunday, I started watching Christiane Amanpour on CNN. There was this horrifying story of sex slavery of women in India. According to this program, 1.2 million women of very young ages are sex slaves in India – as young as 10 to 12 years old. Unfortunately I could not embed the video but you can read part of the story and watch a video here.

It is a dreadfully serious problem in India. Why don't the US and other western nations do something about this human tragedy as they claim to spread democracy and liberty around the world.

UPDATE: The video has now become available for embedding and is posted above.
