The Grass Isn't Always Greener on the Other Side!

Another day has passed, and still not enough action has taken place to help protect these innocent women and children who have been trafficked.

As we continue our research, we ask for suggestions on how to educate our entire student body and school community about the horrifying events that are taking place on the other side of the world as we rest peacefully in our beds.

While looking for news articles on recent trafficking occurrences in Cambodia, we came across this revealing video from BBC News that shows a typical girls life in Cambodia. We thought it would be great to share since it shows the struggles that these young women and children face.

Help us stop human trafficking!

Imagine. . .

Below is a trailer to the Lifetime movie Human Trafficking. As you watch the video, keep in mind that this happens to hundreds of people all over the world on a daily basis. 

                                

Imagine living in a nation where women and children were heavily trafficked. How scared would you be to leave your home? Would you even leave your home? Women and children in Cambodia and Southeast Asia must face their fear everyday while going about their daily activities.

Cambodia is a source, transit, and destination country for human trafficking.The traffickers are reportedly organized crime groups, parents, relatives, friends, intimate partners, and neighbors.Cambodian men, women, and children are trafficked for sexual and labor exploitation in Thailand, Malaysia, Macao, and Taiwan. Cambodia is a destination country for women and children who are trafficked from Vietnam and China for sexual exploitation.Cambodia has internal trafficking of women and children from rural to urban areas for sexual exploitation. Many victims believe they will be working as domestic servants but are later coerced into sexual exploitation.Human trafficking in Cambodia has increased because of a number of factors, including poverty, socio-economic imbalance between rural and urban areas, increased tourism, lack of unemployment, education, and safe migration; poverty being the most significant cause of trafficking.
