Somaly Mam

Somaly Mam has been named to Time’s 100 list for 2009. Somaly  was sold into slavery as a child in Cambodia.  Finally, in 1993 she was able to escape slavery and leave Cambodia.  But she didn’t stop there.  She returned to Cambodia and became an activist to help those still in slavery.  I highly recommend her book, The Road of Lost Innocence, which tells her story—it will be a distressing, but inspiring wake up call.

Emily founded Stop Traffick Fashion in 2009. She’d been becoming more and more involved in the abolitionist movement, and she decided to start STF as an opportunity to bring together the best of all products made by survivors of trafficking. She hopes her response to trafficking will inspire others to take action, even in a small way. Emily lives in Cincinnati, enjoys traveling, and has visited Hagar International and StopStart in Cambodia.
