When I was 12 my father tried to rape me. So with 17 I ran away to my grannmother in the Ukraine. I did a training as a nurse there. My little sister got pimped in St.Petersburg. I wanted to help her. There was this offer for a job to come to Germany. That's the solution I thought. I will buy an apartment with that money and help my sister.
I was brought into a little town in Germany. I was hired to work in a bar. But it turned to be a brothel. Eight months I had to spend in the brothel. The pimps treated us very bad. We got no money. It was forbidden to walk on the street. We even weren't allowed to open the window. It was forbidden to talk loud. We have been under such a strong observation that an escape was impossible.
The police rescued us. In February 1998 there was a Razzia in the illegal brothels. I was brought into a women's house. The time in the brothel changed me completely. I was scared to switch on the light. I remained in my room and never left it. I was scared of being free. In this eight months I lost completely my charisma and my health.
The women in the women's house and the health center (which exists for such case like mine) have helped me a lot. With the help of those people I recoverd from the events of the past. I write this all down because I want to warn all the girls not to fall for such dubious job offers. Do not repeat my mistake!
