Parade Magazine: Fighting to End Slavery
June 22, 2009
Parade Magazine recently featured Somaly Mam in its Intellegence Report column. Here’s an excerpt:
” How does the Somaly Mam Foundation help other sex slaves?
It can take five minutes to raid a brothel but years for the rescued girls to recover. Some want to commit suicide. I show them that they can survive, they can have dignity.
