Tell Diners Club To Stop Financing Mail Order Brides
Victory - Jun 12, 2009
Diners Club recently contacted us and agreed to terminate their relationship with Vietnam Brides International. Here is the updated story.
****************************************************************************************************************
Vietnam Brides International has teamed up with Diners Club to offer a payment plan for the women they sell. It's bascially a layaway plan for human beings, except you get the "product" before you even make the first payment.
Human beings should not be bought or sold, and they certainly shouldn't be part of a payment plan, a "blue light special", or a clearance sale. Mail order brides are not only extremely vulnerable to human trafficking, but also domestic violence, abuse, rape, and exploitation. While creating a payment plan to purchase a human being is ethically and philosophically disgusting, it also reduces the economic barrier to buying a bride. Removing that barrier allows traffickers to acquire women using less capital than they needed before. It opens the door to a new socio-economic class of criminals to buy and exploit these women.
