After her husband was killed, Atoor's family tried to sell her to a local Baghdad brothel. "I didn't think it would happen to me," she said. "My mother used to spoil me. Yes, she sold my sisters but she regretted that. I thought that she loved me."
She goes by "Hinda," but that's not her real name. That's what she's called by the many Iraqi sex traffickers and pimps who contact her several times a week from across the country. They think she is one of them, a peddler of sexual slaves. Little do they know that the stocky, auburn-haired woman is an undercover human rights activist who has been quietly mapping out their murky underworld since 2006.http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=4758482439875079905
