00051353 : LITHUANIA Kaunas - Dovile (20, left) and Egle (23, right) have both been trafficked to work in the sex industry. Egle says: "In the last four years I've been trafficked five times - twice to Germany and once each to the UK, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic. I worked in different cities but I never knew the names of them. I had a lucky escape in the UK. My traffickers took me to a clinic for a pregnancy test but weren't allowed to come in to see the doctor. I told her I had been trafficked and she called the police. I'm sheltering in a convent at the moment but will soon be going back to my home town. I don't see how I will ever be safe again. I've got a three-year-old daughter. How will I ever be able to raise her safely when the traffickers are all around?"
00051352 : LITHUANIA Vilnius - Danielle (18) was trafficked to the UK to work in the sex industry. "My life was normal before I was trafficked at the age of 15. My friend was offered a summer job in London and I decided to go too. At the airport we were met by some men who handed £3,500 to the guy who'd travelled with me. To my horror I realised I'd been sold. I was taken to Birmingham by the man who bought me. He raped me then took me to a brothel and said I had to have sex with customers. I was too terrified to refuse. One of the other girls working there said 'Don't think about trying to escape,wherever you run they will find you.' I worked in the brothel for several months before I escaped. Clients could see that I was distressed but none of them ever offered to help. I'm trying to rebuild my life. But what they did has changed me forever." After she escaped, Danielle briefly lived with a foster family in the UK, who she says were very kind to her. The box she is holding here was a gift from the family.

She jumped at the chance, planning to stay away for a few months and build up some savings. She left her son with her mother. The man her friend introduced her to drove her overland to Germany from Lithuania. She was horrified when she arrived at a hotel in Hamburg and found that rather than making beds she was expected to lie in them with a procession of German men. She was resold several times and was taken from Germany to Montenegro. She eventually escaped and made her way back to Lithuania at the beginning of 2006. She has found a job in a shop and is slowly trying to rebuild her life and her relationship with her son.

She readily agreed and was told a man would meet her at the bus station and take her to the bar where she would be working. The bar turned out to be a flat where she was told she would have to work as a prostitute. "I was horrified and said I hadn't come to do this sort of work. But the man was waiting outside while the customers came so I couldn't escape." After a few weeks a man who she thought was a customer came to the flat. He turned out to be a police officer on an undercover operation and rescued her. She has now returned home and has been reunited with her beloved daughter.
