This weekend is International Women’s Day: a significant date in our calendar where we celebrate women across the globe and the fight for equal rights. We look back on how far we have come, honouring the women in history who boldly advocated for their sisters and saw change take place in our world. And we look to the future: what still needs to be done for equality and how we can be a part of a movement of empowerment.

“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”
While very cliche, this thought quintessentially captures our mission. We can give money to those who need it. We can fundraise money, ask for cash donations; we can gather enough to provide for the vulnerable. But we don’t have a stash of purpose, of passion, of motivation and identity. That must be cultivated by the user.

In the month of September, we saw 5 new girls rescued and brought into the safety of our She Rescue Home. That is 5 less girls caught in the cycle of slavery and sexual exploitation. We are so excited for their journeys that are about to take place - the restoration and transformation that is to come.
Sokhim’s* story is an amazing, heartbreaking, exciting and hopeful journey that beautifully encapsulates the heart of IT'S NOT OK Projects. There is nothing like seeing restoration brought to a girl’s life that was once filled with shame and hurt. Watching their eyes widen as they understand the beauty of their identity and their possibilities never gets old, and it’s a whole new and different journey with every girl.
