the other side of the world

The movie "The Whistleblower" is based on the real experience of UN police officer Catherine on a peacekeeping mission. The whole movie is very, very depressing. The girls are abducted and sold to the den of human traffickers and lose their human rights, not to mention in a country that is divided and war-torn and the laws are useless. It's really cruel to see girls being abused. At this time, I think it's not unreasonable to use violence to control violence.

The abducted girl, Laya, was killed by relatives (no one thought that traffickers would also harm the people around her), and her own awareness of prevention is not strong. Go to a foreign country to work and earn money. The lower the educational level and the lower social level, the easier it is to be deceived.

Vulnerable groups cannot speak up, and even if someone does, they will be suppressed, smeared, threatened, and denied by opposing forces. When I see news with a standpoint, I don't know what to believe. Even if I believe it, I can't change it. A person's right to speak is really too small. Only Try to be influential. Voice for the people who are in need.

The United Nations peacekeeping force is also really funny. Some people are doing heinous things in the name of peacekeeping, but they are actually doing heinous things because the peacekeepers have international immunity and cannot be prosecuted. A country whose legal system has been devastated by war is no longer complete. What's the use of having a few peacekeeping police officers there? When I saw the police station, I laughed. The old policeman introduced that the previous method of handling the case was to send the victim home and help the tyrants in the name of maintaining stability. Even if the perpetrator is guilty, no one helps the victim appeal. Co-authors with weaker parties are automatically ignored. The strong eat the weak, it really is.

I actually saw Benny, even though it's just a soy sauce character (iДi).

The United Nations has contracted the task of peacekeeping to private companies in the United States. In order to make money, private companies have no threshold for recruiting people. They only need to graduate from high school and be at least 21 years old. The most ridiculous thing is that there are moths inside the peacekeeping force. The leadership does not think about how to solve it, but only how to cover up the scandal. After all, they have to continue to collect membership fees and eat the bowl of the United Nations. How can they continue to eat if their reputation is bad. They can only try to threaten and intimidate the heroine who really finds out the problem.

In this analogy, sending troops to help other countries overthrow the regime under the banner of justice is a disguised aggression. Because of the huge disparity between the status of the military and the people, the soldiers who successfully overthrew the regime can easily bully the local people because of the lack of legal constraints, and the people are naturally powerless to fight back. In a way, after the so-called "tyranny" was overthrown, the life of the common people was worse. Not only do we have to face the country torn apart by wars and chaos, but we also have to face the persecution of foreign aggressor forces. In the absence of justice and law, these areas naturally become the hardest hit areas for human trafficking.

The industries full of huge profits are dark and bloody. In the past, there were human trafficking and prostitution, and then there were pyramid schemes. Shame on people who get rich by exploitation.

Finally, I hope that there will be more female leaders who can speak for the disadvantaged at critical moments.
