We welcomed a new girl into our SHE Rescue Home last month. She is only 11 years old. She hasn’t lived with her mother for years and can’t remember where her family lives. We know finding her family is important for her emotionally but it is also necessary for practical reasons. Without knowing where her family is or where she was born we cannot get her birth certificate or any official identification. She cannot attend school or officially/legally exist in Cambodia without ID.
Her social worker knows how difficult this process will be as finding a girl’s family has been struggling for previous girls in our care as well.

There are so many insidious and horrific sides to the pornography industry but today we want to highlight racism in pornography. Somehow racism is still acceptable in porn!

Many of us have heard the term ‘sex tourists’ before in TV shows, stand-up comedy specials and movies – usually aimed at Asian countries. The casual nature of referencing sex tourism on these platforms sanitises a real-life issue that directly impacts women and girls and robs them of their voice. Cambodia, like many other countries is a destination for these kinds of predators.
