         TITLE:  Hotline 157 Saves Natashas

         BEGIN TEXT:  One hundred ninety-eight women from the
         Eastern Bloc, who were lured into prostitution, were
         saved through the 157 Hotline.

         The IOM project became a hope for those who were
         brought with promises of a job, but were dragged into
         prostitution and who were diminutively labeled as
         Natashas.  Selin Unal, Project Coordinator, said that
         human traffickers get only 2-4 years, rather than 8-12.

         The 157 Hotline is a toll-free number that can be
         called 24 hours a day.  Eastern Bloc citizen women, who
         are regarded as "easy" and "willing" by Turkish men,
         and who are regarded as an easy target, are being
         warned at the customs gates against the prostitution
         threat.  On the posters at passport control and the
         information cards placed in their passports, risks of
         human trafficking are listed briefly.  Those who get
         into trouble are asked to call 157.  This hotline has
         saved the lives of 198 women, but the result is far
         from what was expected.  We talked to IOM Project
         Coordinator Selin Unal concerning the problems of
         implementation, despite the fact that new laws were
         adopted in which human trafficking was defined for the
         first time.

         Q:  Which is the method used most for luring these
         women (who later) call 157?
         A:  Almost all of these women are from the Ukraine,
         Moldova and Russia of the former Soviet Union.  They
         are trying to live under very minimum standards and
         with 30 USD a month.  They all have families and
         children.  They cannot find a job in their own country.
         They are offered very good jobs.  They are promised,
         "You will earn from 100-200 USD and serve as
         waitresses, nannies or barmaids."  They have no chance
         of checking these promises.  This is a way out and they
         regard Turkey as a land of opportunity with high
         standards.  When they arrive, they realize what they
         were told was not true.

         Q:   What do they see when they arrive in Turkey?
         A:  There are travel and accommodation expenditures.
         They eat, drink and smoke.  In other words, they are
         asked to pay the "debt."  She is powerless and already
         came to earn money.  They are told, "You will pay your
         debt through prostitution and later if you like you can
         stay in this sector and earn money."  They hear threats
         such as, "We may hurt your family and kill your child."
         They are subject to a lot of violence and undergo
         trauma.

         Q:  Are there ties between members of organized crime
         and brothels?
         A:  In our country prostitution is legal, but for
         Turkish citizens.  In other words, you cannot see
         foreign women in brothels.  Certainly there might be
         those who are employed and they, too, can call us.  We
         will be involved in the plight of a woman who calls 157
         from a brothel as well.

         Q:  Why are you keeping the location of the two
         shelters you opened as a secret?
         A:  Human trafficking is a global problem.  When
         victims arrive, they are victims at an international
         level since they are not Turkish citizens.  For
         security concerns, the location of the shelters is kept
         secret.  Law enforcement officials seriously protect
         these women.

         Q:  What are the conditions for victims to be sent back
         to their countries?
         A:  A victim reaches us by calling 157.  We give her
         address to the law enforcement officials of the
         relevant province.  At that stage we cannot do anything
         else.  We serve as a bridge.  The Jandarma or the
         police save the victim.  Victims first meet with
         officials at the Foreigner's Department and later get
         together with the IOM.  Our colleagues meet with
         victims and determine their needs.  They might be sick
         or subject to violence.  They might need psychological
         support due to trauma.  Taking all these things into
         consideration, emergency help is provided.  They are
         taken into shelters.  The Health Ministry had a
         circular dated 2004.  The needs of the victims of human
         trafficking are provided free of charge by the state.
         They are provided with an honorable return back to
         their countries.

         Q:  What is an honorable return home?
         A:  Turkey provides a humanitarian visa to victims of
         human trafficking to stay up to six months.  In the
         meantime, we prepare their travel documents.  We get in
         touch with the IOM in their country and accompany the
         victim to the aircraft.  When the victim gets off the
         plane, she is met by a representative of IOM.  If she
         agrees, she is hosted at shelters in her country where
         a rehabilitation program is available because it is not
         possible for them to overcome such trauma overnight.

         Q:  How many victims are fully rehabilitated?
         A:  Only 30 percent fully recover; the rest live with
         this nightmare forever.

         Q:  Who provides your finances?
         A:  We get our funds from the U.S. and Turkish
         Governments.  The U.S. government provides around USD
         600,000.  The Turkish Government provides USD 100,000,
         along with shelters and the toll free 157 hotline and
         coordination.

         Q:  The "Zaman" newspapers and "Aksiyon" magazine
         reported that it was the AKP that financed this
         project.
         A:  Wrong information.  We need to correct this.  The
         coordination is being provided through the Interior,
         Foreign Affairs and Justice Ministries.  You cannot say
         that this is provided by a single party because there
         is no such thing.

         Q:  How is the implementation of the law on human
         trafficking?
         A:  Turkey could define human trafficking only in 2002
         after signing the Palermo Protocol.  In the law that
         went into effect on June 1, 2005, human trafficking is
         mentioned in Article 80.  It requires imprisonment from
         eight to 12 years.  But there are two other articles:
         Article 91 is about "organ trade."  Paragraph three of
         Article 227 of the TPC refers to bringing women from
         abroad for the sake of prostitution.  It requires
         imprisonment from two to four years.  Since the judges
         might be thinking that the punishment for Article 80 is
         too severe, they are inclined to carry out the trial
         based on Article 227.  This is the impression that many
         judges at the Justice Ministry share.

         Q:  How did human trafficking come on the agenda like
         this?
         A:  In the report that the U.S. published in 2002,
         Turkey was in Tier 3, where there was no fight against
         human trafficking.  There are countries that show an
         effort in Tier 2.  And those countries that have no
         such problem are in Tier 1.  The same year Turkey
         signed the Palermo Protocol and thus recognized human
         trafficking.  Seeing that Turkey was in Tier 3 in the
         U.S. report, an action plan was drafted and in the
         report Turkey moved to Tier 2.

         Q:  Does this have anything to do with Turkey's EU
         process?
         A:  This is a human rights violation and no one should
         tie the fight against human trafficking to this.  Today
         many countries in the same situation are trying to find
         a solution to the problem.

         Q:  Why are you working on this issue?
         A:  I am doing my post-graduate studies on social
         gender and women's issues.  I wanted for a long time to
         be part of a program to protect women and children.
         When you look at the statistics on human trafficking,
         you notice that most of the victims are women.  But one
         should not think that there are no men.  Being kept in
         a small room with no ventilation, with little food and
         threats in a country whose language you cannot speak
         and you do not know where to go and having no say over
         your own body is very vulgar.  This is the very cold
         face of a human rights violation.

         The Moldovan (31) - Alone with Six Clients
         I was born in Moldova in 1974.  I have two kids.  I had
         economic problems.  A girlfriend told me that I could
         earn good money as a dancer in Turkey.  Earlier I
         worked as a dancer in Slovenia and had no problems.  I
         was planning to work for a while in Turkey, earn money
         and return home.  My friend in Turkey who offered me a
         job provided the plane ticket, passport and all
         expenses.  They told me that a person named Veysel
         would meet me at the Antalya airport.  I thought that
         he would take me to the place where I would work.  But
         Veysel took me to a village cottage in Antalya.  He
         took away my passport.  There was a woman from Moldova
         at that house.  She told me that I was brought there to
         work in prostitution.  When I objected and wanted to
         return home, I was frightened and subject to all kinds
         of pressure at gunpoint.  They told me that I did not
         have any other option but to be killed.  Clients were
         coming to the cottage.  There were a few other women in
         the same situation in the cottage.  Once when there
         were three women, nine clients came.  One of the women
         left with one man and the other with two.  I had to be
         with the remaining six.

         One day the Moldovan woman took me to a client at a
         hotel.  I called the La Strada hotline that is run by
         NGOs in Moldova for human trafficking victims.  La
         Strada told me to call 157.  I called 157 and told the
         operation the address and my condition.  The 157
         operator called the police hotline in Antalya.  They
         saved me from the hotel that I was in.  I was taken to
         the human trafficking victims' shelter in Istanbul.  I
         told IOM officials that I was willing to go back home.
         The IOM provided me with my ticket and travel expenses.
         They enabled me to go back home.

         The Ukrainian (23) - When they could not sell her in
         Istanbul, she was taken to Ankara

         I was born in 1982 in the Ukraine.  I have a daughter
         who is one and a half years old.  I am separated from
         my husband and live with my mother.  We were both
         unemployed.  A man told my girlfriend who was born in
         1984 that he could find us jobs as waitresses in Turkey
         and that we could earn good money.  My friend
         introduced me to this man.  He made arrangements for us
         to travel to Turkey.  A Turkish man met us at the
         Istanbul airport.  He took us shopping and bought us
         flashy night dresses.  When we asked, he said that we
         were in debt to him and that we would pay him back by
         serving as prostitutes.  When we did not agree, he said
         that we did not have any other option.  We were very
         scared.  We cried and wanted to go back, but they did
         not allow us.  When they could not sell us in Istanbul,
         they told us that we were not suitable for Istanbul and
         sold us to Ankara.  We were taken to Ankara and began
         to work.  We were looking for a way out.  But all
         avenues were closed.  My friend called her boyfriend
         one day in the Ukraine and asked for help.  He called
         the hotline in Moldova and they told him that we should
         call 157 in Turkey.  We did.  The 157 operator called
         the police hotline and we were saved from a hotel in
         Ankara.  The IOM enabled us to return home.

         The Moldovan (18) - With six men a day

         I came to Turkey to serve as a nanny.  A friend of mine
         made the arrangements.  I knew some people who went to
         Turkey to work and returned with jewelry and expensive
         clothing.  Then I had a daughter who was 19 months old.
         I lived with my brother and mother.  Our living
         conditions were very bad and I had to work.  I arrived
         in Istanbul in September 2004.  I served as a nanny for
         a week.  I was told that I owed 1500 USD because of my
         expenses.  They locked me up in an apartment and took
         away my passport.  After a week I noticed that the
         woman who locked me up was sleeping.  I escaped and
         went to the police.  The IOM helped me return home.
         When I returned to Moldova, we had no money.  I could
         not buy enough food for my daughter.  When my neighbor
         offered me a job in Turkey, I came back in August 2005.
         I was forced to be with six people a day.  Seven other
         women were in the same situation.  I managed to escape,
         but since I was scared, I did not give the names and
         addresses of the traffickers.  The representatives of
         IOM in Ankara and in Chisinau have been in touch with
         the Interior Ministry for me and my family's safety.

         operations following calls to the 157 Hotline, which
         was established in May.

         According to information that AA obtained, the 157
         hotline, which was made operational this year in May
         under the coordination of the MFA, led to major success
         in the fight of the security forces for the plight of
         foreign women, in particular from the former East Bloc
         countries, who were forced into prostitution.

         According to information provided by the Antalya Police
         Public Order Department, by evaluating the calls into
         the 157 hotline, they conducted 23 separate operations
         since May following investigations opened in the
         provincial capital.

         In the operations, 27 victims, who are from Moldova,
         Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Azerbaijan and who
         were involved in prostitution, were saved by police.

         The officials also noted that in these operations, 101
         people were detained, including 17 who were arrested
         for human trafficking.

         Officials also noted that in the operations where
         victims were saved, another 36 women who were not
         victims and were willingly involved in prostitution,
         too, were detained.  They were deported.

         The police also noted that they looked into six Turkish
         women for being involved in prostitution.  They noted
         that the police were working around the clock to
         prevent prostitution.  END TEXT.

         TITLE:  Nine sex slaves in cell house
         BEGIN TEXT:  Police teams, after receiving a tip that
         prostitution was being conducted in a condominium in
         Obakoy, Alanya, carried out a raid on the place after
         obtaining the permission of the public prosecutor.
         Police could not find anybody except a man at the home.
         The police thought the tip was false until they
         searched the home carefully, moved a wardrobe closet
         and noticed a hole in the wall behind it.

         When the police went into the hall that was shut off by
         furniture, they found themselves in the next door
         apartment and saw nine women, including a Turk.  The
         women, who reportedly were forced into prostitution,
         and the man who reportedly was selling them were taken
         to the Police Public Order Department.  A woman pimp,
         P.S., who used the nickname "Isil" was also detained.

    ¶7.  Reported by Zaman on Saturday, November 26.  NOTE:  This
    report is correct in reporting the Ankara shelter has been
    opened and was a project of the Ankara Municipality, but the
    fact that it is a refugee shelter run by IOM and will only
    be open for two years is incorrect.  It is for victims of
    trafficking, run by the Foundation for Women's Solidarity
    (an NGO) and will be open indefinitely.  END NOTE.

         TITLE:  A shelter will open in Ankara for refugees

         BEGIN TEXT:  A shelter is opening in Ankara for women
         refugees.  The shelter project, taken up by the
         Metropolitan Municipality Assembly, was adopted
         unanimously.

         The shelter will become operational according to a
         joint project by the International Office for Migration
         (IOM) and the Metropolitan Municipality of Ankara.  It
         will provide temporary shelter for women refugees.

         Ankara, too, has started to work in order to meet the
         requirements of the provisions of the UN Convention on
         the Fight Against Cross-Border Crimes to prevent human
         trafficking involving women and children.

         A shelter will be opened for women refugees who fled
         their homes and live thousands of kilometers away.
         Thus, especially the plight of women brought from
         Africa would be prevented.

         Women who are determined to be victims of human
         trafficking by the IOM and the Interior Ministry will
         find temporary refuge here.  Hot meals will be served
         for shelter residents.  Victims will stay for at least
         six months or until their humanitarian visa issued by
         the Turkish National Police expire.  The location of
         the shelter will be kept a secret.  The municipality
         will provide maintenance for the shelter.  It will also
         provide natural gas and water.  The Municipality
         Hospital will give medical services to the refugees.
         The IOM will administer the shelter.  The IOM will
         control entry and exits, as well as meet the food,
         social, legal and psychological needs of the refugees.
         The shelter will remain open for two years.  END TEXT.

         TITLE:  Sex slaves are thrown into basement

         BEGIN TEXT:  It was discovered that women from eastern
         Europe who are used as sex slaves in Britain are kept
         in underground shelters in Macedonia before they are
         taken to Britain.

         The British "Telegraph" newspaper reported that slavery
         of the Middle Ages was continuing in the 21st century.
         According to the newspaper report, the Albanian
         prostitution gangs were luring women by offering jobs
         such as being a waitress or an au-pair, but actually
         were marketing them as sex slaves.

         Women coming from countries such as Romania, Ukraine,
         Moldova and Bulgaria are kept in stuffy secret shelters
         with no heating and lighting before they are sold in
         gangs to western countries.  Women are being purchased
         for 1400 Euros in Romania and are forced into
         prostitution in Macedonia before being taken to
         Britain.  Women are taken out of the shelters and see
         daylight only when they practice prostitution.  END
