En venta: Mariana, 15 años
Los países de la Europa del Este son los principales proveedores de chicas de la Unión europea. Se calcula que unas 300.000 jóvenes trabajan como prostitutas. La mayoría han sido vendidas por mafias de tráfico sexual. Todo esto sucede ante nuestros ojos, en nuestras calles, bares, aparcamientos, carreteras? Oficialmente, autoridades, jueces y políticos están en contra de esta deplorable situación. Sin embargo, la realidad nos dice que pocos son los traficantes sexuales que han sido condenados. Iana Matei, rumana, empieza a colaborar como psicóloga para una ONG que se ocupa de menores en situaciones de precariedad. Un día, la policía le entrega a dos adolescentes que vienen del mundo de la prostitución forzada y así empieza a especializarse en el tráfico sexual hasta crear su propio centro de acogida y apoyo a las víctimas. A lo largo de la narración descubre y denuncia la violencia, la venta de personas, y diferencia entre la prostitución voluntaria y el tráfico sexual. Analiza las redes mafiosas que trafican con mujeres desde Rumanía hacia toda Europa: Italia, España, Alemania, Holanda? con el beneplácito (vista gorda) de las instituciones policiales y políticas. Refleja estadísticas en las que se cita a España como primer país de desarrollo de la esclavitud sexual (referencia explícita a la Casa de Campo de Madrid). Su objetivo no es sólo ayudar a los cientos de mujeres que pasan por su casa refugio, sino perseguir y denunciar a los cabecillas de las mafias, puesto que es la única posibilidad de erradicar esta plaga que se extiende como el aceite.

About the author
Iana Matei
3 books4 followersIana Matei is a Romanian activist who founded Reaching Out Romania, an organization to find and rehabilitate victims of forced prostitution. Reaching Out Romania operates the House of Treasure, a shelter for former victims of human trafficking.
On January 20, 2010, Matei was named "European of the Year" by Reader's Digest for this work.
Iana Matei's book was first published in 2010 by OH ! Editions, in France under the title "A vendre, Mariana, 15 ans".
Matei was born in Orăștie. Her mother was a talented pentathlete, father was a football coach. When Iana was three, her family moved to Bucharest due to her father's work, and later, to an industrial city Pitești.
Her father was an atheist, because he "found it hard to believe in a God, that lets children in Africa die of starvation". Her mother was an Orthodox.
Matei has a talent for languages and speaks at least four — her native Romanian, Serbian, English and French, and thus can be considered a polyglot. She studied wall painting and met her husband Dmitri while renewing Ghica Tei palace, who she married and had her firstborn son Ștefan with. Later Matei divorced Dmitri due to him abusing alcohol and being violent.
Matei lived during the period of Soviet occupation, and in 1989, when Romanian Revolution started, participated in riots and protests against the Communist government. After Matei lost her handbag with her documents in University Square during the protests, she believed that it was no longer safe to stay in the country and had to leave. She left her son with her mother and illegally traveled to Serbia, was captured and sentenced for twenty days imprisonment. Matei went on a hunger strike insisting that a representative of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCP) visit her and acknowledge her presence. After her sentence, Iana was taken to a Serbian refugee camp, where she was hired as a translator for UNHCP, with her son brought to her from Romania and moved to Australia, where she lived up until she became involved with humanitarian work.
Humanitarian Work[edit]
Matei was studying psychology and, in order to get a diploma, had to write scholarly work. She chose stray children as her topic, found some in the streets and talked to them. At first, out of pity, she gave them a few sandwiches, but the next Saturday, she came back with pasta and fed about fifteen people. This kept going on for few months and extended to much more than just a social experiment. In 1994, Matei found "Reaching Out", an organisation that helps street kids in Australia.
When Matei went to Romania to visit her ill mother, she faced the same problem as she did in Australia. She spent some time in Europe and went back to Australia, still thinking about forgotten children of Romania. In 1998, Iana and her son returned to Pitești and got involved with homeless children.
In 1999, Matei faced the horror of human trafficking for the first time, when local policemen contacted her, asking to bring some clothes for prostitutes they arrested. Matei brought food and clothes for the girls, only to realise they were all underage, sold like animals and forced to be prostitutes. Matei started raging because of the ignorance of policemen, who refused to acknowledge the fact that three girls were underage victims of human trafficking. Matei registered her new, non-governmental organisation "Reaching Out", opened her shelter "The House of Treasure" and has been fighting sex slavery since.

Rumänien: Für ein Versprechen von Arbeit und Lohn werden viele junge Mädchen und Frauen ins Ausland gelockt oder sogar von ihren eigenen Eltern und Brüdern verkauft. Sie geraten in die Hände von Mädchenhändlern und werden zur Prostitution gezwungen. Mit Schlägen und Drohungen werden sie gefügig gemacht.
Iana Matei hat sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, diesen Mädchen zu helfen und ihnen wieder ein Zuhause zu geben. Sie möchte ihnen ihre Selbstachtung zurückgeben und eine Wiedereingliederung in die Gesellschaft ermöglichen. Gleichzeitig kämpft sie dafür, dass die Täter bestraft werden.
Auf eine sehr offene, ehrliche und ergreifende Art beschreibt Iana Matei in diesem Buch ihren Kampf gegen den Mädchenhandel. Sie beschreibt ihren eigenen Lebensweg und ihre Beweggründe. Sie schildert die Geschichten von vielen jungen Mädchen, die durch die Hölle gegangen sind und ihren Weg zurück ins Leben. Von kleinen Erfolgen und auch vielen Misserfolgen erzählt sie in ihrem Buch.
Als Leser kann man kaum begreifen, was die Mädchen, um die es hier hauptsächlich geht, durchmachen mussten. Das Buch lässt den Leser bestürzt und schockiert zurück und gleichzeitig voller Respekt und Achtung vor der Leistung von Iana Matei und ihren Helferinnen.
Ich habe das Buch innerhalb kurzer Zeit lesen können, denn es ist sehr packend geschrieben. Nach der Lektüre hat man als Leser selbst den Wunsch, etwas gegen den Mädchenhandel zu unternehmen und man kann Iana Matei nur für ihre Arbeit danken und ihr weiterhin Erfolg wünschen!

In sfarsit cineva scrie si despre asta! Iana, esti un om incredibil! Daca toti am fi cate un strop din Iana Matei, aceasta lume ar fi cu siguranta mult mai buna.
Imi pare rau pt ca aici editorul cred ca nu si-a facut treaba si a lasat-o un pic „framantata“… Ii lipseste uneori cursivitatea si coerenta subiectului iar pt asta nu am putut da maxim de apreciere. Totusi este o carte ce trebuie citita! As recomanda-o in programa de liceu, chiar!

One women's fight to save the world, or at least to change Romania! This book is written by an amzing woman who sacrificed her life to help victims of huma trafficking. She created a 'crisis' center for women who were forced to prostitute themselves from their early teenage age. Iana Matei describes her daily battles with mafia, pimps, romanian police and justice system, corruption, unhumane treatement of people and with the sex trafficking victims who don't even know how to live a normal life- without fear, violence, abuse... Page by page I was more and more amazed with her patience and strong-willingness in helping others and forgetting about herself. I was shocked to learn about Romania's broken system and mentality. Iana Matei has written this book with her heart but also she has structured it well and explained many problems and issues. Due to the books topic- it is not an easy read, but it certainly an important one that opens eyes of people who think that there is no slavery in 21st century or that it is girls own choice to prostitute herself.

I really enjoy books which are written about real events. So I didn't thought twice before taking this book from library and I don't regret that.
First of all, this books is well written, easy an fast to read, so it took very little time to finished it.
Also, this story opened my eyes more. Until I read this book I didn't knew much about prostitution and exploitation of women. I think people should know more about this topic, because it's really important topic. Not all girls choose this kind of lifestyle. Some of them actually need help to get out of this unpleasant work and company. Young girls and women are being abused physically and mentally every day and we should do something about. Maybe one person can't change much, but group of us can.

O carte careia I.asi da si 10 stele DACA as putea.
Autoarea insasi dezbate o tema de mare actualitate in zilele noastre si anume prostitutia.
Fete tinere din diferite tari si medii sociale sunt vandute pe te miri ce, trimise in diferite tari din Europa obligate sa se prostitueze
Iana intra in lupta impotriva prostitutiei si astfel infiinteaza un centru prin care vrea sa ajute diferite tinere minore, obligate sa intretina relatii sexuale.
Este o carte care nu se poate sa nu te emotioneze si sa te faca sa te intrebi, pe ce lume traim? Cum sa vinzi tinere de 15 ani, de parca ar fi animale, fara sa te gandesti la traumele de dupa.
V.o recomand spre lectura!!!

💰Jana Matei - Parduodama: Mariana, 15 metų, kaina sutartinė💰
4⭐ iš 5⭐!
Tikrai patiko labiau nei ,,Pasakojimai iš prostitutės kambario"❗👌
Šioje knygoje autorė atskleidžia savo biografinius faktus ir kaip paaukojusi savo šeimos laimę pradėjo padėti likimo nuskriaustoms moterims.
✔Man patiko, kad Jana Matei papasakojo apie save. Sužavėjo, kad dėl savo šalies gerovės paliko užsienio žavumynus. Džiugu, kad atrado savyje drąsos, motyvacijos ir nori Rumunijoje įkurti prieglaudą jaunosioms prostitutėms.
✔Taip pat labai patiko pats knygos stilius - pasakojimai apie jaunąsias prostitutes, jų baimes, paklydimus ir normalaus gyvenimo troškimą susimaišo su aprašytomis autorės pastangomis padaryti Rumuniją saugesne valstybe. Todėl besikaitaliojančių tekstų nenusibodo skaityti.
❌Tačiau 4⭐ vien dėl to, jog man pritrūko gilumo prostitučių pasakojimuose. Man norėjosi daugiau faktų, daugiau istorijų, daugiau, daugiau, daugiau.
~Deja, autorė, nenorėdama atskleisti merginų tapatybės, vengė apie jas plačiau kalbėti. O ir pati nekentė žurnalistų, kurie troško patenkinti skaitytojų (tokių, kaip aš) smalsumą, kad tai nutiko ne jų artimoje aplinkoje, ir kalbinti prostitutes pačiomis skaudžiausiomis temomis.
Ar skaitėte šią knygą? Gal turite rekomenduoti kažką panašaus?😊

Loved it! The writer is giving a very deep insight, based on over a decade of experience, on how the forced prostituion of minor and adult women work, especially in Romania, but not only. This very deep insight is given from various perspectives: historical background of humans for sale in Romania and on the Balkan peninsula, mass-media POV, how the legislation and the court, and other institutions treat these cases, especially the victims. Couldn't stop reading it. Be careful, contains stories and information that might require your emotional resilience.

La autora comienza esta historia con un caso real de tráfico sexual en el que interviene con el objetivo de proteger y ayudar.
Durante todo el libro se hacen referencias a las secuelas y atrocidades que muchas de ellas tienen que sufrir. Lo hace desde una perspectiva que busca dar importancia al problema planteando soluciones y no desde el punto de vista de la venta fácil actual basada en el clickbait.
Problema aún por solucionar y muchas cosas por hacer. Datos poco reales y ocultación o distorsión de información gubernamentales.

Aprender sobre lo que las personas hacen caso omiso es demasiafo importante porque es una de las cosas qje mas afectan como sociedad como personas de sentimientos... Este libro me lleno de fuerzas para seguir con mi proyecto de ayudar a los que no son escuchados que gran admiración para Iana❤

Man kann Iana Matei einfach nur bewundern was für einen Kämpferin sie ist. Ihr Kampf gegen den Mädchenhandel gleich einem Kampf gegen Windmühlen. Sie lässt sich nicht untergriegen obwohl es für sie in Rumänien so schwer ist da sie auch noch gegen die Korruption kämpfen muss.

Wat een verhaal. Ik heb weleens iets gehoord over vrouwenhandel vanuit Oost-Europa. En de rol van Roma-zigeuners hierin. Nooit gerealiseerd hoe ernstig het is. En hoeveel er door West-Europese landen weggekeken wordt
Mooi is de bevlogenheid. De woede en frustratie is bijna voelbaar tijdens het lezen. Het onbegrip. De boosheid en machteloosheid over hoe de meisjes behandeld worden. Door politie. Door rechters. Door hulpverleners. Zoiets van 'hoer zijn is altijd een eigen keuze'.
Iedereen, en dan vooral ook mannen die vrouwen betalen om hun behoeften te bevredigen, zou dit boek moeten lezen. Het opent de ogen.
(in het Nederlands gelezen. kan dat boek hier niet vinden. Nederlandse titel: meisjes te koop.)

Una lectura que disfrute mucho. Es muy crudo hablar de trata de personas y explotación sexual pero la forma en que Matei lo aborda es ideal para llamar la atención acerca de este problema tan grave.

Quand on lit la présentation, on ne peut qu'être interloqué. Et intrigué. Du coup la lecture s'impose et on en apprend plus sur le chemin parcouru par Iana Matei pour devenir ce qu'elle est aujourd'hui.
On en apprend sur son combat permanent, risqué et sans limites pour défendre une cause dont tout le monde s'en fout alors qu'elle devrait tous nous concerner.
Elle n'est qu'une goutte d'eau dans le combat contre l'esclavagisme sexuel des mineures et pourtant c'est un combat utile, au moins pour les quelques âmes qu'elle arrive à sauver.
Ce fléau est terriblement scandaleux et révoltant. Pourquoi toutes les autorités ne prennent pas ce sujet au sérieux ?
La lecture de ce document est nécessaire pour se rendre compte à quel point c'est gravissime. Dommage qu'à la fin il n'y ait pas de liens pour compléter les recherches, les associations locales qui officient dans le même sens qu'elle etc ... pour que les lecteurs puissent eux-mêmes tenter de s'engager s'ils le souhaitent, dans ce combat sans fin.
Une lecture nécessaire bien que loin d'être positive. Le sujet est lourd mais vaut la peine de s'y arrêter pour prendre conscience de la gravité du problème dans notre pays et chez nos voisins les plus proches.
D'une certaine manière, il y a un avant et un après la lecture de ce livre.

The author seems like a great woman: what she did and maybe is still doing for these girls is amazing, so, you know, 5 stars for that. But the book itself is badly written, is has a chaotic structure and many ideas are started and never finished, so 0 stars for that. Good thing it was a fast read and I didn't waste too much time on it.
And what kind of bothered me most is that she goes through all this trouble to give these pour girls the best living conditions she can, but she leaves her own mother in a smelly old retirement home and just complains about the conditions there and that she doesn't have time to visit her. I mean, find her something nicer, she deserves it.
All in all, rounding it down to 2 stars.

Am avut prilejul sa citesc aceasta carte in urma unui nefericit caz de aceiasi natura, traficul de persoane. Profesez ca asistent social, lucrez cu copiii institutionalizati si ma ingrijoreaza panta data de utilizarea Facebook-ului.
Cartea te surprinde cu autenticitatee si cu realitatea cruda. Am savurat povestirile, regasind puncte comune.
Ar trebui sa devina manual in sistemul de protectie sociala pentru adolescentele ce ar putea deveni victime ale acestor nenorociti.
Am apreciat cum au decurs cronologic evenimentele relatate.
Felicitari Ianei pentru carte si mai ales pentru tot ce a realizat si va realiza.

Iana Matei, de care nu a auzit mai nimeni în România, dar care este elogiată în Europa. De ce? Pentru lupta ei cu fenomenul minorelor forțate să se prostitueze, bătute, violate, distruse și transformate în sclave. Cartea nu e un roman. Nu căutați scriitura fină a unui romancier. Nu-i cazul. E sinteza unei realități brute și, pentru munca ei, Iana merită mult mai mult de cinci stele.
