About this listen

 Growing up in a quiet, middle-class suburb outside of Amsterdam, childhood best friends Anna and Olivia had their whole lives ahead of them. But every parent's worst nightmare came true when the teenagers fell in with the wrong crowd. Eleven years their senior, Ryan was charming and good-looking - and Anna and Oliva easy prey. Blind to his grooming, the girls were soon trapped in a terrifying cycle of sexual and physical abuse.

But their nightmare was only just beginning.

Trafficked to the neon-lit windows of Amsterdam's Red Light District, Anna and Oliva were forced to work as prostitutes, servicing countless men night after night against their will.

Body for Rent reveals the disturbing truth behind Amsterdam's Red Light District, and the shocking ease with which ordinary girls can be exploited. But despite the unimaginable horrors they endured, the damage done to their bodies and their minds, their friendship remained as strong as ever, giving them hope that one day, they would escape...

I haven't read or listened to a book to the end ( started a few) for 40 years but this was so well written I was hooked and had to finish it . I also think anyone that works with teenagers should listen to this book to help them spot anymore victims. It will make me think differently now about problem children

Such a moving account

Not easy listening by any means but what a great book and well read by the narrators, and how brave the girls were to have shared this terrible experience.

This book was amazing written and full of all the information you need to know what it's like to live as a trafficked prostitute. I am so saddened by what these girls had to go through and the power of these men. blessings to those ladies

This harrowing story, told in turn by the two central woman totally opened my eyes to what prostitution in liberal Amsterdam is really like. I've visited the city many times and had always been under the impression that Dutch laws effectively made the trade safer for its sex workers. How wrong i was. This moving account is told by two girls who slipped through the social net and who were groomed, trafficked and forced into prostitution in Amsterdams Red Light District.

If you're reading this Anna and Olivia, I hope you are safe and well. Thank you for sharing your story. x

Utterly heartbreaking, with a glimmer of hope
