“Organised crime networks have set up a people trafficking system. They go from village to village looking for girls. Sometimes they use marriage to take them or they promise then good jobs in Phnom Penh with good salaries. Because many victims are poorly educated they fall for the trick and when they come to the city they get locked in a brothel.”

“If you have never lived in a brothel you cannot understand how terrible it is. It’s like a dark prison where you cannot see. In one day we have to receive more than ten clients. Many were drunk and smelled bad and they hurt us and treated us terribly. We never got love from them. Even if we did well we were still beaten. Life in a brothel is so dark, the pain is so bad it’s indescribable.”

And when we face this kind of situation we help them with regular counselling sessions where we try to encourage them to appreciate themselves and the value of life – and that takes a lot of time.”
