POLAND: AT THE BORDER OF SLAVERY

Prostitute in a Polish forest. I’m sure there’s a perfectly innocent explanation for that parked truck being there. 
Justina, a 20-year-old Polish woman, has fallen victim to a new form of slave trade. For the first time, she openly faces the camera to tell of the hell she lived through in a brothel near Bremen.
Germany is the first target of a ‘trade’ that was thought to belong to a bye-gone age. Tens of thousands of girls are locked up, beaten, under-nourished and forced into prostitution there. Justina’s story and that of another victim, Cristina, leaves no room for doubt on the subject. They are Polish, Ukrainian, Belorussian, Russian or Romanian. They fall into the trap of bogus job adverts, promise of marriage or they are simply drugged, then abducted to be sold like cattle for a few thousand DM… German police manages to free about one thousand of them a year. But they treat them just like illegal immigrants; they are ex-pulsed immediately. 
Very few women accept to testify against their torturers (Germans, Turks, Polish, Russian, Yugoslavs…) in exchange for a simple “suspension” of their expulsion. After the Wall of Shame, the “border of shame”? Powerless, the border guards at Frankfurt on the Oder see many of these fugitives passing through; they just want to go home. The victims are the only ones who pay a price! Justina is today barred from entering the Schengen space whereas her kidnappers, who have been released, openly threaten her. For them, a lot of money is at stake, risks are minimal. And as long as the average salary in the Ukraine is USD 30, there will always be thousands who want to become a “baby sitter” or a “barmaid” in Western Europe! Poland is pivotal to this new slave trade: 10 000 Polish girls are shipped off to the West each year whereas 15 000 Ukrainians, Romanians, Bulgarians or Belorussians are sent through Poland. As for the Polish police – they close their eyes. 
Victim aid organisations such as “La Strada” in Warsaw can do but little. The real culprits – those who pull the strings and their clients – are in the West, in the Europe of Human Rights…

"Polish Prostitutes – Meet The Forest Whores Outside of Warsaw"  BY NATE ROBERT
e were driving at about 100 clicks an hour. I’d seen some pretty forests in Poland, but this wasn’t one of them. Dark, craggy, and apart from the passing traffic it would be considered isolated. It wasn’t a freeway, it was more an interstate back-road. I saw a lady standing by the curbside in the sand by some trees. There was a large black plastic bag by her side.

Lots of makeup, attractive, and well dressed. Something seemed not-quite-normal. It was a strange place for such a lady to just be hanging out. Within a couple of minutes, I saw another. My mind subconsciously twigged. It was the third spotting, two ladies in matching mini-skirted uniforms, that erased any doubt in my mind. I had entered the lands – of the Polish forest whores.

Brothels, whore-houses, chicken houses, cat houses, dens of iniquity, knock shops, houses of ill repute, and bordellos are illegal in Poland. As the old adage goes – pimping may not be easy – and in Poland, pimping is also illegal. However, in Poland, consensual prostitution – selling sex – is perfectly legal. Motivated by these laws, industrious Polish prostitutes have taken their wares and prominently displayed them along roadsides that cut through the forests surrounding many cities in Poland.
Commonly, these ladies are referred to as tirówki. TIR is an abbreviation for Transports Internationaux Routiers – the moniker given to the many heavy-duty truck drivers that also travel these same wooded roads. I won’t profess to know who the main clientele of the forest prostitutes are. I will say that with drivers facing endless hours in the truck cabin away from home, well, combine that with the tirówki nickname and the conclusions are there to be drawn.

Despite the legality of prostitution, the forest prostitutes are members of the only profession that officially remains un-taxed in Poland. Unfortunately, this also means that these citizens are not entitled to any social benefits, such as health-care and other social welfare. In a country where all efforts to promote safe sex are hindered by the dominance of the Catholic Church, this is worrisome.

According to the daily newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza, ten percent of all Poles under investigation by the tax office have reported their occupation as “prostitute”. The Warsaw Business Journal wrote about Polish tax authorities having to instigate procedures and systems specifically to interview the vast numbers of people claiming to be prostitutes. Avoiding income tax may not be so easy. Self-proclaimed prostitutes are now being asked to provide evidence of their working life, such as photographs or client testimonials.

Driving from Warsaw to Augustow, I would estimate that I saw around forty forest prostitutes. Certain Polish legislators are not happy with this level of street prostitution in Poland. So, in 2007 a proposed nation-wide ban on miniskirts, heavy make-up, and see through or low-cut blouses was proposed. Considered as an appropriate method to rob prostitutes of methods of advertising, fortunately the ludicrous proposal was not acted upon.

Personally I didn’t expect to see scores-of-whores adorning the forested back roads of the Polish countryside. That morning, I was researching one of the most ancient forests in Europe, located not far from where these photos were taken. By lunch, I was reminiscing with friends about the surreal and strange world of the forest dwelling prostitutes of Poland.

The thing is, I have many female readers. Above all, I respect, protect, and admire women the world over, especially those nearest and dearest to my own heart. I make no personal judgments on the forest ladies.  Sadly, I am sure many of them are working as prostitutes so that they may simply have a roof over their heads, and meals each day.

Even sadder is that some are seeing their dangerous jobs as a way to get that new BMW or big screen TV.

Nate PS, for accuracy and journalistic integrity, there are no doubt some other things I should mention. Such as but not limited to: not all of these ladies are Polish citizens, to some people whore is a bad word, and Poland is an incredibly interesting, diverse, and beautiful nation that doesn’t consist solely of prostitution. Obviously, prostitution and exploitation go hand in hand, and many will be wondering whether the accompanying photos could be considered exploitation, or at least poor taste in choice of subject. This site has featured many examples of street photography from around the world, and to me, these photos fit fairly into that genre.
It’s real life.
PPS, my next leg includes Italy, Croatia, Serbia, Albania, and other nations of the Balkans. The best way to follow along is by popping your email address in here. You’ll get an update whenever a new article is posted.
