There has been a lot going on around the world in the anti-trafficking movement! Here is a selection of some of the good news.
- Read this story from CNN Freedom Project about a courageous cop in New Delhi’s red light district who won’t stop until the red light district is shut down!
- Also from the CNN Freedom Project, read about how Wyndham Hotels is stepping up their efforts to train their staff in an effort to help fight child prostitution.
- From International Justice Mission’s Facebook page: “JUSTICE secured in Cambodia: 6 pimps who sold underage girls for sex in large karaoke bar were convicted + sentenced to prison. One of the young survivors bravely gave a testimony of the abuse — as the perpetrators who had once ruled over her listened in the same courtroom, suddenly powerless to silence her.”
This month on the blog we’re going to be focusing on trafficking in Cambodia. Here is some news from two of our favorite organizations working in Cambodia!
- Nomi Network, who designs lots of great products made in Cambodia by STOPStart is currently working in Cambodia to work with the women and designs for the next collection! Watch their blog for more on their trip.
- Hagar International had a new video on their Facebook page highlighting the story of one of the women in their care. Watch below and be inspired!
