who is girl33 ?who is “girl33”?
she
may come from a provincial rice-farming village, or from a middle-class
urban family. she may have finished only 4th grade, or she may
have finished college. she may be 17, or she may be 45. she
may be motivated not only by the quick money for her family, but by the
male affection she never received from her father, by the alcohol and
drugs, by the comraderie with other bar girls, or by the promise of a
rich husband. she probably has at least one child — from a father
who has moved on to other territory.
she may work as a go-go dancer in a thong or a bar hostess in an evening gown. she could be a masseuse, a brothel prostitute, or she may work on the street. if she works in an establishment, she may wear a small round badge with an identifying number, since many don’t particularly care what her name is or why she is there. she is a number — a body for rent.
with
so many who want to treat her as property, the purpose of girl33 is
encourage people to treat her as the precious being she truly is.

— and love that does not demand.
