TRAFFICKED KYRGYZ WOMEN IN MARINKA FRANULOVIC’S BOOK “TWO KYRGYZ WOMEN

Abstract

The research paper was inspired by a true story that depends on two women who suffered from trafficking. To sum up, the paper discusses the factors and risks of trafficking, specifically women. Trafficking of women is a horrible crime; it needs to put an end to women’s suffering. Two examples of females from the book “Two Kyrgyz Women”, had been exposed to many risks. They were beaten, threatened, and raped. The aim of the paper is to discuss that if the factors that aided women to be trafficked were treated from the early beginning, there would be no trafficking women. Those factors are many such as: - cheated by promising jobs, unstable political conditions, social and cultural practices that devalue women in their society, gender roles in society that shows society prefers boys more than girls, and the misconception of social norms. But in fact, those factors are not determined and banned with the help of Kyrgyz society, on the contrary, the society itself is the main factor that encourages women to leave their country for the sake of living. On the other hand, male partner does not take any part for supporting women; this is going to be discussed and proved in the coming pages.
