Maybe I overlooked something in the story, but I don't quite understand how she did it? For example she describes three girls locked into a backroom of a family, living on a couple of bananas a day. How did she get that story? I don't think she posed as one of those girls, nor does it sound as if those girls would ever go out?

She posed as a prostitute sometimes, not only risky, but also subjected her to sexual harassment by the very male colleagues whose help she sought when going undercover. Check out this 10min video if you want to know how she did it http://www.vice.com/video/i-posed-as-a-prostitute-in-a-turki...

My guess is that the local police eventually shut down that brothel and she later was able to interview someone involved - one of the prostitute, family member, police, etc?

It is very reasonable in cases like this for her to leave out some of the details about her sources.

I don't expect her to reveal sources. I just had troubles following the story. I didn't understand how the banana story came into the story out of the blue.
