About this listen

 Growing up in a quiet, middle-class suburb outside of Amsterdam, childhood best friends Anna and Olivia had their whole lives ahead of them. But every parent's worst nightmare came true when the teenagers fell in with the wrong crowd. Eleven years their senior, Ryan was charming and good-looking - and Anna and Oliva easy prey. Blind to his grooming, the girls were soon trapped in a terrifying cycle of sexual and physical abuse.

But their nightmare was only just beginning.

Trafficked to the neon-lit windows of Amsterdam's Red Light District, Anna and Oliva were forced to work as prostitutes, servicing countless men night after night against their will.

Body for Rent reveals the disturbing truth behind Amsterdam's Red Light District, and the shocking ease with which ordinary girls can be exploited. But despite the unimaginable horrors they endured, the damage done to their bodies and their minds, their friendship remained as strong as ever, giving them hope that one day, they would escape...©2019 Olivia Smit (P)2019 Orion Publishing Group Abuse Child Abuse Dysfunctional Families Parenting & Families Personal Development Relationships Sexual Abuse & Harassment Inspiring

I haven't read or listened to a book to the end ( started a few) for 40 years but this was so well written I was hooked and had to finish it . I also think anyone that works with teenagers should listen to this book to help them spot anymore victims. It will make me think differently now about problem children

It was a hard listen. I think we all need to know more about sex trafficking. The way I see it this living hell is like an underworld and our entire society is propped up by it. It was intense and shocking but I now have more of an idea about what goes on and it really opened my mind to the tragic torture women are going through on a daily basis.

This harrowing story, told in turn by the two central woman totally opened my eyes to what prostitution in liberal Amsterdam is really like. I've visited the city many times and had always been under the impression that Dutch laws effectively made the trade safer for its sex workers. How wrong i was. This moving account is told by two girls who slipped through the social net and who were groomed, trafficked and forced into prostitution in Amsterdams Red Light District.

If you're reading this Anna and Olivia, I hope you are safe and well. Thank you for sharing your story. x
