    Is there any way we can help these children? Are there any trips or ways we can donate?

    I second that. All of the suggestions for help so far are rather passive and will not really make a dent in this crisis.

    I dont know if this is the place to start but i want to help. I need information. I want to help save these girls as well as any person who is in slavery. I am not a political person and i have no desire to sit in my nice comfortable house or to send money somewhere and hope that somehow it helps someone. I want to go with my own two feet and destroy these walls with my own two hands. I have a group of military based men who would like to join me but i need information. If anyone has information concerning the location of people who need to be rescued please contact me

    Somaly Mam is a true hero. I wrote about her on my blog. I’d also like to encourage you to participate in helping Eric Proffitt raise money to combat child slavery. He is running 500 miles in chains in the UK starting August 1st to bring attention to this. Check out his website at http://www.ericproffitt.com and consider getting involved. Please let people know! Thanks!

    I watched Somaly Mam on Tyra talk show. I fully support what you are doing. I just cannot imagine how children as young as 5 year old are used for sex. Its disgusting and I always believe what goes around will come around and they will be punished in time to come. May god bless you and I wish I can help in some way..perhaps one day i will meet you in cambodia. Take care…with love from New Zealand.

Because first i must understand it!!! @1 First get to know them ,,See they’er world through there eye’s.@2 need to have trust,,They will not trust you..(Earn It.) #3 …When you get to this point only then will you know what to do……BUT LET THEM BE CHILDREN…..

    Thanks for working to raise awareness about this issue. Human trafficking is such a clandestine trade that its difficult to identify and evidence claims and instances of HT. Many of the families who sell their daughters into the illegal sex industry trade are duped into doing so by the traffickers.

    More awareness is needed in order to make it a voting issues and initiate legislative change world-wide aimed at pursuing the traffickers…. thanks again for creating this site! God bless :)
