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.

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
But we never want underestimate what we can do in the next 5 or 10 or 15 years. The impact on these girls’ lives will be life changing! The ripple effects into their families, community, country and the international response to end human trafficking can be exponential with your help!

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.

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!

This 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.

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.

Last 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.

“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.
