September's Featured Program: Somaly Mam Foundation

Sex trafficking is truly the 21st century’s version of slavery. One of the differences from 19th-century slavery is that many of these modern slaves will die of AIDS by their late 20s.
--Nicholas Kristof, NYT Columnist,  “The Evil Behind the Smiles”

The mission of this month's featured program, the Somaly Mam Foundation in Cambodia, is to give victims and survivors a voice in their lives, liberate victims, end slavery, and empower survivors as they create and sustain lives of dignity.
