It is now a weak monitoring by the military. zero toleance does not mean partial intolerance. juicy bars are clustered outside United States millitary bases. staffed exclusively by filipino women brought into the country by promoters on entertainment visas, often under the impression they will be working in the clubs as singers. but when promoters then subcontract the women to juicy bars, they discover that their primary jobs is to flirt with service members to induce them. juicy girls are commonly punished with bar fines when they fail to meet quotas which compel them to make up the short fall by prostituting themeselves. juicy bars are inherently degrading to women and engraved invitation to prostitution and human trafficking which is both illegal and immoral. we must advocate and demand putting juicy bars off limits and closed for good.

With the curent outrage on the increasing number of sexual assaults and rape in the military; juicy bars promote a sexual assault culture and USFK leadership in Korea is complicit in allowing this happen. The commanders have the power to put these establishments off post, but wont enforce the laws that are place.

Federal Law requires all military posts to publish in general orders or bulletins whoever engages in prostitution shall be fined under title 18 part 1 ch. 67 sec 1384 or imprisoned.


The Exploitation of human beings is immoral and not in good standing with the relationship of locals and eachothers allies

I really did not think this would gain this much steam so fast because usually people look away from these things but seeing all of you step up makes me feel like maybe we can actually force them to pay attention for once. It is honestly kind of overwhelming to see so many people agreeing that these places need to go away and I am just trying to figure out how to get this in front of the right commanders before everyone forgets about it again.

These bars are just dens for exploitation. No reason they should be allowed to operate anywhere near base.

so sad how they trick these women into coming over here just to trap them in a cycle of debt. DISGUSTING.

Complete trash establishments. Command needs to stop looking the other way and actually enforce the rules for once.

My husband saw this happen all the time when he was stationed over there. It is human trafficking plain and simple. Close them down.
