Born in a village deep in the Cambodian forest, Somaly Mam was sold into sexual slavery by her grandfather when she was twelve years old. For more than a decade she was shuttled through the brothels that make up the sex trade of Southeast Asia. In her twenties, she managed to escape but unable to forget her ordeal, she became a brave leader in the fight against sexual abuse of children. She has rescued some as young as five and continues to show the world how one individual can bring about change.
