Somaly Mam Foundation
I found The Body Shop's petition after reading Somaly Mam's book "The Road of Lost Innocence" (which I blogged about earlier) and heading to her foundation's website www.somaly.org and I would encourage you to do both - read the book about her life and check out the website. Another great book is "Traffick" by Norman Jean Roy which allows you to look directly at Cambodia's prostitution and trafficking problems through the eyes of its victims. "The word for prostitute in Cambodia is srey kouc, 'broken woman' - broken in a way that cannot be mended." (p. 47, "The Road of Lost Innocence")
