A 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.

The beginning of the year is a great opportunity to consider what we are going to change, value and improve in the year ahead. What are your New Years resolutions this year?

Maybe you can join an action and awareness team with the SHE Rescue Home in Cambodia? The options are endless!

Have 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.

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.

A modern maxim says: “People tend to overestimate what can be done in one year and to underestimate what can be done in five or ten years.”
We can do a lot in a year

We often say ‘together we can end human trafficking.’ But how can we? The answer is to break the cycle of exploitation. There are several things that make people vulnerable to human trafficking - poverty, desperation, isolation. Anyone seeking to better their lives can fall into a traffickers trap.

This 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.

HOW MANY PEOPLE DOES IT TAKE TO OVERCOME HUMAN TRAFFICKING?
We 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.

From 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’.

And it’s our job to share this with you, so that victims of exploitation and trafficking are not forgotten and abandoned. Ignorance is only bliss for those who are thousands of miles from the pain but knowledge can mobilize us to be someone's answer.
