Shop The Body Shop and support us when you get a gift box or bag this holiday season!
December 1, 2009
This holiday season, give an extra thoughtful gift – one that gives back to help support victims of child sex trafficking. The Body Shop has designed an inspirational collection of limited edition gift bags and gift boxes, which can be filled with your own selection of festive products for the perfectly personalized gift. The contemporary range incorporates recyclable materials sourced from Community Trade Get Paper Industries in Nepal.
Even better, for every gift bag or box sold, The Body Shop will make a 5% donation to the Somaly Mam Foundation as part of its new child sex trafficking campaign. The Body Shop launched the Stop Sex Trafficking of Children & Young People campaign to help provide protection and care to children and young people trafficked or at risk. This global campaign aims to inspire long term change, to stop the unimaginable abuse which affects millions of children and young people around the world. So surprise someone special with a hand-picked gift assortment and bring joy to a child in need. It’s the beauty of giving.
Visit www.thebodyshop-usa.com or your local The Body Shop store to purchase.
Hi,
Just like to say my heart goes for the girls in trafficking. I read the book (innocence) written by Somaly and was very touched on how she changed her life to save others. Hurts me to know that she is still in pain and all the other girls, just breaks your heart.
Unfortunately I can give money, but I will go into Body shop to buy the bags, so I can help in some way.
I will pray each night for these girls and hope one day all the brothels are burnt to the ground.
Sending lots of love

Bonjour à tous,
Je suis extrêmement touché par la bataille et le courage de Somaly Mam ainsi que tout l’amour qu’elle apporte à ces jeunes filles.
J’ai lu le livre de Somaly Mam, j’en est été effrondrée.
Je me considère Cambodgienne (je parle cette langue et éduquer comme telle) même si mon sang est chinois/vietnamien.
Et de ça, je me sens particulièrement atteinte de ce qui ce passe là-bas.
La seule aide malheureusement que je peux apporter est de me diriger vers une boutique Body shop et j’achèterai ces sacs et ces boîtes!
Je penserai à vous à chacune de mes prières…
Enormes pensées de France…

Fiquei muito impressionada com o artigo de Somaly publicado na Revista Seleções do Mês de fevereiro. Gostaria muito de ajudar, mas, não tenho dinheiro.
Haveria outra maneira de ajudar?
Nós que vivemos no Brasil um país cheio de incongruências, não imaginamos que existem outros muito piores. Esse tráfico de meninas para colocar`na prostituição. é cruel demais.
Não há como denunciar essa coisa horrível à ONU, ou outro òrgão que tivesse poder para exterminar essa crueldade?
