The Respectable Facade at Harrods


If you read the previous blog you will know that it told the true story of what often happens to young women who are trafficked to Europe from Africa.  Maybe you said to yourself, that such things don’t happen in countries like the UK?  You are wrong. 

The appalling recent revelations about the private life of the outwardly upright previous owner of Harrods, Mohamed Al-Fayed, show that this is not the case. 

One woman recently recounted how she was taken to Paris.  Her actual phrase was that she was ‘trafficked to Paris’ where she was taken to Dodi El F-Fayed’s flat.  The doors were then locked and guarded by body guards.  She was then systematically raped the rest of the night.  Fortunately she was then released but the horror of that night lives on in her mind and has had a profound effect on her life. 

The same scenario is endlessly repeated in pop up brothels on a nightly basis in England as traffickers make millions out of selling the bodies of innocent women.  All this is hard to comprehend and difficult to imagine.  

If you would like help to understand just exactly what these women suffer, please read the gripping novel, ‘The Garden of Sparkling Delight,’ by Deborah Varen, available from Amazon in hard copy or kindle, or free from this website or YouTube as an audio version read by two actors. Please take this request to your hearts and do this small thing to help fight modern slavery.  All profits go to four NGO’s who campaign for freedom for sexual slaves. 

However help for your imagination is at hand in the form of the novel, ‘The Garden of Sparkling Delight,’ which gives a graphic account of a similar story and enables you to travel each inch of the way, with the heroine of the story.  You will live in her skin and be present in her despair.  The novel also tells of love, courage, sacrifice and determination ~ which will warm your heart.  

The novel is available from Amazon in paperback and Kindle, as well as FREE from this site in a downloadable format in AUDIO for you to listen to on the bus or train, or in your car or while you wash the dishes.  Please read this and join me in my fight for these precious human beings who have been turned into a tradable commodity worth millions of pounds.  

The book can be obtained from Amazon in paperback and on Kindle or from this site as a FREE audio download.  Also from YouTube. The book is an exciting read and will keep you on the edge of your seat!
