I have spent this week fighting against people who I thought were fighting alongside us mothers. Actually, it's been going on for more than a week. People who campaign for women's rights, but are turning out to be selling out women's rights. Or even actually selling women. After raising concerns about the trafficking of women through domestic abuse shelters, a third person has confirmed that this is happening - that victims are selected through DA shelters in Croatia. From what I hear from the UK and USA I suspect it is happening there too. The response of the women's sector was "Report it to the police". My question: Which police? The ones which are participating in this? There are people fighting battles because they have built careers out of them. So the battle becomes an end in itself, rather than a means to a better future. And in the meantime, they expect people to fall to their knees in gratitude and scatter petals at their feet. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's people who are self-congratulatory. Or have a Messiah complex. OK, that's two things. Recently a small number of people have said thank you to me for speaking out and giving them hope, or just for believing them and not shunning them. I am glad they feel like that, but being thanked makes me feel embarrassed. I just want this nightmare to end and for our children to come home.
