But first lets celebrate, grieve and learn from 2023 at the SHE Rescue Home!
Read MoreHow trust and hope are abused: Elisabeth's* story follows a horrifically common entrapping method of exploitation in human trafficking.
Read MoreA Legacy of 15 years! In March 2008, we opened the doors of the SHE Rescue Home. We have had the privilege of seeing those young girls grow up over the last 15 years. They are now in their 20’s building careers, starting families, finishing school, graduating from university. Some of them wanted to share their stories.
Read MoreThe annual Trafficking in Persons (TIP) Report has been released for 2022. The report does an incredible job of showing the scope and response of human trafficking in the world. There are some things to celebrate. Unfortunately there is not much to celebrate in their annual analysis of Cambodia.
Read MoreHave you ever wondered how girls come into the SHE Rescue Home?
We never get a lot of notice when a new girl is going to come into the SHE Rescue Home. Sometimes we get a day or two notice; Sometimes it is only a few hours.
Read MoreWe 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.
Read More14 years ago, the girls in our care were children. Now they are adults in their twenties and some of them want to share their story. It is our incredible privilege to amplify their voices!
Read MoreMany girls in Cambodia don’t receive justice because they cannot afford it. Your donations go towards providing justice for girls like Panha* and Kanya*.
Read MoreThere 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!
Read MoreThis season has tested our resolve and current programs but we have found that we were already set up to provide the best care and advantages possible for the girls rescued out of human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
Read MoreThis is why we celebrate anytime a girl begins to shower regularly. It is a simple sign that she is starting to look after herself. She is starting to value not just her health, but her own life.
Read MoreIf you were to paint or draw a picture of yourself – what do you think it would look like? Would you lean towards the abstract or depict your features as in a photograph?
Read MoreSo often in our SHE Rescue Home we have girls being rescued from horrific circumstances made all the worse by parents, family members or family friends being the perpetrators, abusers, or victims themselves unable to protect their children. However, this year we have seen some incredible, supportive and brave families that have made an immense difference for their daughters that came into the SHE Rescue Home for safety.
Read MoreWe have the privilege of being one puzzle piece in the wide scope of the fight against global human trafficking. We fight alongside many organisations that each take on a different facet of the problem and we are so grateful for our many partnerships and the united effort towards a better future.
Read MoreFrom day one, our work has proven not easy. We face challenges of a deep-rooted culture of shame that a young girl carries after sexual exploitation and the challenges of working with a developing legal system.
This season has taught us that there will always be a new challenge. No one saw the COVID-19 pandemic coming and if we’re honest, it’s another ‘enormity of the problem’.
Read MoreChanthany’s* life has been completely transformed since we met her.
Read MoreLast April, we opened what we call our SHE Transition Home, responding to a special and important need for continued support after girls have completed their time in the high security home. Located in Phnom Penh, our SHE Transition Home houses girls aged 16-21 years who have opportunities for work or study in the city.
