Meet Voices for Change Survivor Sokkhy
Sokkhy and VFC Team going to English class (Sokkhy far right)
Sokkhy, a new Voices for Change Team member, tells us about joining the team and her outreach work at the shelters helping new survivors become self-confident and empowered young women.
My name Srey Sokkhy, 26 years old, I was born in Sandan District, Kampong Thom Province.
Today, I live in Phnom Penh city and I do happy that I had been to be a VFC team. Our VFC team, is work to change some things bad to be a good things and we want to show/share about victim’s feeling to all the peoples who living around the world to understand. Especially, you must be to know that victims, they don’t want to do that.
I am one of survivor but right now I am to be a member of VFC team, so I always go to meet and motivated to all the victims at the centers to be strong and try to learn all the best skills that center provided us. It is very important for our future so we must be strong and try for the future.
I do happy when I met with victims and listen all their problems that they told us and I can help, explain that I know and understand about your feeling because I am a victim too. When I went to meet with them, I always told them about my story. I saw them change their living and thinking to learning hard and they feeling warm after I talk and share my story.

Dear Sokkhy and the girls and boys.
You survivors are all valuable, acceptable, beautiful and lovable.
May you all heal, learn to love yourselves. The road is long yet you are becoming stronger, supporting each other.
I wish each and every one of you deep inner peace.
Keep believing in yourselves – you’re worth it.
I love that you find gentleness and peace talking and listening to the trees and the water. They love you very deeply always.
You are enough. in every way.
It’s hard to imagine anyone being able to do such horrible and disgusting things to such young and beautiful women and children around the world, but what is even harder to comprehend is how someone who has been abused and treated so poorly can see past their own pain and continue to help and support other victims. Those abusers whether they be man or women are not the ones to fear, because as far as anyone is concerened they are the real cowards, the ones to fear are you and all the other people included in this heroic act to stop it, to fight against it and to make a real change. I am only 16 years old and I am sure I might sound naive but to me you are my heroe’s and I hope one day to join you and aid in helping other victims.
Thanks you Sokkhy and other VFC’s members for your strong work to help other victims.
You girls are amazing and I am telling your stories of courage here in Aust. It was a pleasure to meet some of you on our recent bike ride with Project Futures and I am so looking forward to the next time. We all love and miss you. Keep up the fantastic work.
