In Sold, Lakshmi's problem is her solution. She wants to escape but escaping would only contribute to the problem. She is stuck in this place knowing that, while leaving with the Americans would get her out of her current situation, she would still have to suffer. Some problems have no easy way out; some problems simply have no solutions.

One can be impartial in a situation, uninvolved in the solution and the problem. While they may not be helping towards the solution they can also not be contributing to the problem. However, if a problem is as serious as something like sex trafficking, someone who has knowledge of such an unjust thing is a part of the problem if they are not helping to stop it. When things like this are going on, it is crucial for the world and society to recognize and stop it. When someone ignores a situation like this, they are instantly becoming a part of the problem. That said, the solution can be the problem and it can be and endless circle with no escape.

I agree with you when you say that someone can be impartial, but when it comes to a serious problem and they know about it and dont do anything then it makes then part of the problem. But when it comes to her problem not having a solution i have to disagree, because when she goes with the American she could be going to live a happy life free of the terrors in her past, we never find out.
