CNN's Shira Medding reports in "Women for sale store highlights sex trafficking in Israel" reports the shocking window display in a the busy Tel Aviv mall that are causing many people to turn heads. That indeed was the intention. Women are being displayed in the front of the store window wearing tagsd that detail their age, weight, and height, as well as thier country of origin. Organizers of the event want to bring awareness to women trafficking. Along the way they hope to collect enought signatures to convince the Israeli justice ministry to support its claims of men going to prostitutes. The legistation is modeled after the one in Sweden which has greatly reduce the incidents of sex trafficking. The organization hopes to put an end to "modern slavery" which have left over 10,000 women in the past decade locked, beaten, raped, and starved.
