Women Like Us Foundation 2012 Campaign

Fighting Human Trafficking and Child Prostitution

The Women Like Us Foundation is proud to announce The Women Like Us Foundation 2012 Campaign: Fighting Human Trafficking and Child Prostitution, our current effort to save children from sex trafficking.  Our nine-month initiative will culminate with our Annual Afternoon Tea and Speaker Series featuring two pioneers of children's rights.

 

Keynote Speaker Somaly Mam

Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People of 2009 and a CNN Hero.

Somaly Mam is the founder of the Somaly Mam Foundation envisioning a world where women and children are safe from slavery.  She was born to an impoverished tribal minority family in Cambodia-- a family that resorted to desperate means to survive. A man who posed as her grandfather sold Somaly into sexual slavery.  Forced to work in a brothel along with other children, Somaly was brutally tortured and raped on a daily basis. After witnessing the murder of her best friend, Somaly heroically escaped her captors and built a new life for herself. She vowed never to forget those left behind and has since dedicated her life to saving victims and empowering survivors.

Somaly will share her incredible story about her childhood and her fight for awareness and irradication of human trafficking and child prostitution.
 

 

Former Congresswoman Linda Smith
Shared Hope International

Linda Smith is a former US congresswoman heading up an international effort to save children from being forced into prostitution. Our other speaker is a former child sex slave from Cambodia who has devoted her life to saving other victims. Linda Smith is the founder of International an organization that exists to rescue and restore women and children in crisis.  Her uncompromising belief in the value of every child has carried her from leadership in her home state to the halls of Congress, and ultimately to serving victims of sex trafficking around the world.

These two women have drastically different experiences, but they fight the same evil: the exploitation of our youth.  Their stories embody the vision of The Women Like Us Foundation 2012 Campaign: Fighting Human Trafficking and Child Prostitution.

WLUF is proud to align our mission with the vision of these powerful women.  Please join us as we launch The Women Like Us Foundation 2012 Campaign: Fighting Human Trafficking and Child Prostitution.  You can support the cause by joining us as a partner.
