Jorge Gonza Aug 22, 2004:
Sandra: "Trata de blancas" has nothing to do with money laundering. Michael: The populace? Waw!
Michael Powers (PhD) Aug 22, 2004:
However, in this particular case, the noun is "tratante" meaning it refers to the person doing this act, i.e., the "slaver" if you will. Although it sounds strange to the populace as whole, it is the legal term.
Non-ProZ.com Aug 22, 2004:
Ruben: Sorry, slavering isn't a word in English. It's enslaving, if anything. And thanks, but I knew that blanqueo de dinero is money laundering, but I didn't know if it had anything to do with "tratante de blancas".
Michael Powers (PhD) Aug 22, 2004:
The practice itself is called "white slavery"" as can be seen in Black's Law Dictionary (1996): "the practice of forcing a female (or rarely, a boy) to engage in commercial prostitution; trafficking in white slavery is prohibited by the federal Mann Act"
Michael Powers (PhD) Aug 22, 2004:
As you can see from the examples, it is a type of forced or slave prostitution; however, the coined phrase, with nearly 4,500 hits is "white slaver".
Rubén Méndez Suárez Aug 22, 2004:
I think simply "slavering" will be a good translation.
Non-ProZ.com Aug 22, 2004:
Could I just say "White slavery", then? Pandering and White Slavery?
Non-ProZ.com Aug 22, 2004:
Here's another context from the piece:
".... se realizaron diversas entrevistas a los lugarenos que por razones de seguridad omitieron proporcionar sus nombres, senalaron tener conocimiento de organizaciones dedicadas al lenocinio DE TRATA DE BLANCAS en X ciudad...."

Hello.

Both “trata de blancas” in Spanish and “white slavery” in English are well-known specific terms for “forced prostitution”.
I copy below a few examples.

Derechos Humanos: «Trafficking» - «trata de blancas»
Begoña Castiella
Corresponsal en Atenas

La compraventa y explotación sexual de mujeres es una vergüenza que parecen aceptar, entre resignados e indiferentes, incluso los países que presumen de más avanzados. Y una mujer, Bonnie Miller, se esfuerza por conseguir que esa lacra encuentre soluciones en Grecia, encrucijada forzosa de buena parte de ese tráfico.La palabra «trafficking» cómo equivalente de trata de blancas todavía no es muy conocida. El término oficial y completo en inglés es «Trafficking of Human Beings» (conocido por THB) por el que se describe el tráfico ilegal de personas ?hombres, mujeres, niños? que son utilizados para la prostitución o en algún tipo de trabajo forzoso, con gran frecuencia raptados o engañados y que se mantienen en una situación de esclavitud sexual o laboral de forma totalmente ilegal en cualquier parte del mundo.

forced procuring (dealer/ trader/ pusher)

Hi, Sandra. I'm putting the noun for "tratante" in between brackets, because in your explanation you say it's about an activity... If that's so, it's just FORCED PROCURING. If the noun - that is, the person who does this - goes, well, choose one of the nouns in brackets. :)

OK: as far as I know and have studied in Cultural Anthropology, "trato de blancas"/ "white slavery" is a termn that remained in both languages as a "linguistic survival" from long time ago... :) You can imagine of course why "blancas" - they were the most appreciated. Now, anyway, it is a traffic of forced prostitution and the term for that, in English, is PROCURING. The guy who performs such an activity is called a PIMP or PROCURER. No need to use the word "white". You do need to use "forced". And that's all you need to know.

Good luck :)

Dili sends back Thai accused of procuring

July 27, 2004 10:14pm

East Timor has extradited to Bangkok a Singaporean man and a Thai woman charged with ***procuring Thai women for prostitution*** in that country.

Lim Shaun Lee, 44, and Yonchat Sinchoenthongchai, 47, were handed over to the Crime Suppression Division following their arrest on Wednesday in East Timor.

Thai women earlier sought help at the Thai embassy in East Timor, accusing the pair of having lured them into prostitution. Pol Maj-Gen Kosin Hinthao, the CSD commander, said the pair allegedly forced the women to work as prostitutes at Wisma Cendana hotel in Dili.
