Sex slave reveals the horrific injuries she suffered at the hands of human traffickers (Photos)

These are the horrific injuries inflicted on a Bulgarian sex slave mutilated by criminals who forced her into prostitution.

The 20-year-old Bulgarian, seen covered in bruises and scars, was routinely beaten after being made to walk the streets in The Hague, Holland.

Harrowing images of the young woman were taken by an Austrian charity worker, Norbert Ceipek to raise awareness of the plight of victims of human trafficking.
They show the unnamed victim’s injuries from severe beatings, including a head trauma and a giant scar on her stomach. Her lips, nose and eyes are badly swollen.

Ceipek said:

‘A young woman, 20, got to know a young man who promises her all his love and takes her to the Netherlands.’
‘When she arrives, she realises that she has to walk the streets with another Bulgarian and two Nigerians. She does not want to but by beating and other compulsive measures she complies and prostitutes herself eight months.’
‘During a visit back to their home country both Bulgarians tried to escape from their location, but unfortunately she was caught by him [the pimp] and brought back.
‘As the second woman managed to flee, he became so angry that he began to beat the young woman so much and also struck her with objects that she almost died.’

The victim was thrown out of a car in front of a hospital. When the human trafficker was later arrested, he was surprised that he had been caught, and even more so to learn that his victim was alive.

The Bulgarian hospital gave her primary care, but the victim had to leave the hospital after five weeks because she did not have health insurance and she was unable to pay for it.

She ended up in Ceipek’s shelter, where he is now trying to raise funds to pay the costs needed for additional treatment.
