The goddess of brothels: magic as coercion for sexual exploitation

Pomba Tour is the name of an rebel Afro -Robrasileño spirit that is usually venerated by pimps and traffickers to prevent women from abandoning brothels. To the "goddess of brothels" is invoked with a call: "Laroie Pomba Tour, beautiful lady of the night, I call you and invoke you to work for me." Prostituted devout women feel, on the one hand, the fear that something will happen to them if they decide to escape or change lifestyle, but they also go in search of protection. This pagan figure is necessary to leave offerings for it to work, things that are usually in a whore, such as Geneva, Champagne, wine, tied with cigarettes, underwear or surrounding it with liquor glasses, which was precisely as the agents of the UCRIF (Unit Against Immigration Networks and Documentary Falsity) when they entered that brothel villa on the outskirts of Lorca (Murcia) and opened one of the closed doors. The researchers did not leave their astonishment to see an entire room dedicated as a santeria altar, where the Pomba tour occupied an honor.

Towards days they had received an anonymous complaint through the free telephone service to victims of human trafficking (900 105 090), which showed the existence in the city of Lorca of a criminal network led by a womanOf Brazilian origin, which, helped by other people, formed a criminal organization dedicated to the sexual and labor exploitation of women and minors, as well as drug trafficking, criminal actions that carried out in two different premises that the organization ruled:A chalet converted in brothel on the outskirts of Lorca and a cafeteria in the center of the city that served them for the capture of women to whom they later referred to the brothel.

When the police crossed the threshold of that room, in addition to the offerings to the goddess, the stay had other divinities such as Changó, the god of thunder, virility, dance and fire; It was also full of human candles and figures representative of wills or desires, of head of sacrificed animals, rag dolls of different sizes, some of them inside glass vases and symbolizing some ritual, feathers and animal horns, all on altars covered with red satin fabric. In addition, he had red -painted walls. A dantesque and chilling image that made researchers assume what all these rituals were used: white magic, black magic, animal sacrifices practiced by santeros teachers such as coercion for women of Brazilian origin, Latin women where these practices are deeply rooted in the society. A coercive measure similar to what Voodoo or Yuyu represents for sub -Saharan women. Thus the pimps are won obedience, confidentiality and loyalty of women, who do not dare to protest and much less to denounce their exploiters.

Nanny to Slave

La diosa de los prostíbulos: magia como coacción para la explotación sexual

Adriana's story is that of many other women.They arrived in our country from places of misery with the hope of a better life, without imagining that from the first step they would become victims of trafficking, sexual exploitation, that their bodies would be in the hands of greedy pimps that would rent them again and again, although in the case of this young Brazilian the victimizer was a woman, also a Brazilian who called Ani, and who offered her compatriot a nanny job in Lorca.

Upon arrival she was taken to that house where she was told that she had to exercise prostitution to pay the 2,000 euros debt of the plane ticket that had anticipated her, debt that was increasing since she had to pay the accommodation or "daily" of the club, plus the fines imposed by breaking the rules of the house, which made its commitment grow daily and that it was impossible to settle.

Adriana could not get out of this place, but there were everything he could need, such as lubricants, condoms and lingerie, to exercise prostitution. It was Ani herself who bought it, because she was all discounted from the passes with prostituting men for whom she had to be available 24 hours. On one occasion, Adriana disobeyed her pimp and these, at night, opened the door where the young woman had never been. Once inside her, Ani put Adriana's little son's photo next to the head of a bug while she performed a satanic spell. The young woman was very afraid and she was aware that she could not escape that place. On another occasion, with the purpose of coercing and scaring her, the pimp took her before a santero teacher outside the brothel, a man covered with gold necklaces, because for the goddesses the offerings are everyday things, but to them, however, I give them the precious metal, because it cleanses, they say.

Adriana spent three months in that hell that he could not escape until all his debt would come out.But, one night, she found her plane ticket and her passport realizing that they had cheated her for too long, because the ticket had really cost much less than her were doing to pay with her body and with her soul.That was the trigger for the young woman to flee from that place where they sacrificed animals, celebrated black masses and made witchcraft to prevent women from escaping because, despite the fact that that room was key, all had seen from the door the altars andRituals that infused them so much fear.

Thanks to his complaint, his courage and courage fell this network of human exploitation and the agents of the UCRIF of Murcia rescued 10 foreign women, the majority in an irregular situation in our country and with minors in charge in their countries of origin, bywhat are forced to prostitution in extreme exploitation conditions due to their personal and economic vulnerability.
