Here we have one model, she agreed to a salary of $235. The main thing is to put the models on salary.
"In the studio where I work, we have 30 girls, but only five make decent money. A single building might house up to 30 young women simultaneously, with some studios providing free room and board for the women, according to Taalai, a former manager and recruiter at a Bishkek studio who agreed to speak to RFE/RL under a pseudonym. Others work on-site from premises rented in the city by the studios. Some of the women work from home, with the studios providing logistical support and sometimes providing money for their rent. Karachach Shakirova, a journalist with the Kyrgyz news site Radar.kg, which works closely with the Kyrgyz Interior Ministry’s press service, estimates that between 4,000 and 5,000 young women in Kyrgyzstan are working for webcam sites. In Central Asia, Bishkek and neighboring Kazakhstan’s economic capital, Almaty, have emerged as the regional hubs for webcam studios. The global webcam industry generates billions of dollars annually, according to industry players and studies. "I found several women who said they were afraid of going to the police because the police often extort money from these girls," Aleksandra Titova, a journalist at the Kyrgyz news site Kloop who has reported extensively on Kyrgyzstan’s webcam industry, told Radio Azattyk. The sources include a number of men involved in recruiting women, filming them, and communicating with clients.Īll of them agreed to speak only on the condition that their identities remain hidden due to fears of exposure to family and friends.Īnd many of the women who have suffered abuse fear going to police who, according to several sources, often provide cover for the studios. Radio Azattyk spoke to multiple young women and other sources previously or currently involved in the webcam industry in Kyrgyzstan. The investigation lifts the veil on the abuses - including blackmail, rape, and doxing - that young Kyrgyz women are subjected to while trying to make ends meet working for live webcam sites in the Central Asia nation, where, according to the World Bank, nearly one-third of the population lives in poverty. Meerim and Ajara are at the center of an investigation by RFE/RL’s Kyrgyz Service, known locally as Radio Azattyk, into the webcam industry in Kyrgyzstan, which serves as a regional hub in a multibillion-dollar global industry. The two friends, Meerim alleges, became victims of blackmail by their employers.
