“ If you aren’t apart of the solution, than are you apart of the problem?” I think that this question is a very broad question and can be interpreted in many different ways according to what the problem is. Lets take sex slavery for instance. Sex slavery has been going on for a very long time now and clearly no one has come up with a situation for this worldwide horrific problem. Reading Sold has really made me realize how many different factors come upon other than girls being raped and abused. I think that if you aren’t apart of the solution, you can very much so be apart of problem. Lakshmi is a perfect example for a young girl who has been told to do this and is probably not going to make a solution, but she is just an example of an everyday girl who goes through sex slavery.
In Sold, Lakshmi faces extreme challenges that she has not prepared her self for mentally and physically. Lakshmi is being used day after day and is stuck in this whore house and guys keep paying and paying, and she says, “ Thirty rupees. That is the price of a bottle of Coco-Cola at a store. That is what he paid for me”(146). She gets the idea that she is only worth thirty rupees. Feeling that your worth thirty rupees, would make hr feel like she would never be able to get out of this problem. She feels like she is going to be stuck their forever. Even though she mite never be part of the solution she, will always feel like she is part of the problem.
