THE VOICE FOR THE VOICELESS

A Cry for Humanity

By St. Tuan

In the interest of bringing awareness to the world communities and raising money to help the less fortunate children in Cambodia, who live in serious poverty and work in filthy brothels, we want to contribute our humble part in making their lives more desirable and meaningful. Indeed, a change for the better. Therefore, we call on you to continue supporting us so we could carry out our mission to the fullest. Your support and contribution are greatly appreciated.

As an investigative reporter/photojournalist, I have traveled to many corners of the globe in the last decade. I have witnessed atrocities and suffering of innocent victims and have seen injustice at its worst in war-torn nations and third world countries. There were nights I cried silently in my bed and asked myself: Are they the children of the lesser gods or are they simply the victims of injustice and dysfunctional social systems? Why do they have to suffer so much while wealthy people are wasting so much money for meaningless things? The spare change of the wealthy could save thousands of lives everyday.

As a certified sexual assault counselor, I have visited shelters in Vietnam in the recent years. These shelters house young victims of sex slavery between the ages of 5 and 21, who have been rescued and/or escaped from brothels in Cambodia. While I was counseling them, I can see the permanent scars on their fragile bodies and the emotional distress in their eyes. Some of them have suffered tremendous physical and psychological abuse from tortures, while they were working in the brothels. Others were mentally tormented from flash backs. Fortunately, at that time they were living in better conditions for rehabilitation and occupational training.

These innocent victims are the abandoned children, the poor orphans and young girls in Southeast Asia being kidnapped and sold to prostitution houses everyday by those heartless human traffickers. This heinous crime against humanity should motivate people of good conscience into taking concrete action for the weakest among us. So, I would ask you to join us to be the voice for the voiceless.

A full grasp of the facts and circumstances is of crucial importance for our awareness. Thus, let us update you with some factual information regarding the current human trafficking situation in the world we live in:

• Over 800,000 people were trafficked and sold across international borders last year.
• 70% of these victims were women and 50% of them were children under the age of 18.
• 30,000 of these children died from AIDS related to sex slavery; some were brutally and fatally beaten; others were murdered inside the brothels.

In Cambodia, the statistics are even more unbelievable:
Each year, there are about 55,000 children under 18 being forced to work in brothels all over the country. The high ranking and corrupt local police commanders own some of these brothels.

• 50% children can't read and 75% can't write
• 60% children were kidnapped and sold to the brothels
• 65% children from very poor families
• 70% children were gang-raped
• 75% children are Vietnamese
• 80% victims under 24 year of age
• 95% victims are forced to work 7 days a week
• 100% victims must pay bribery to local corrupted polices for protection.

Most of these victims will die before they reach their 30th birthday. Sadly, some children are ten years or younger. They are the prime victims of sexual predators who come from many different parts of the world and carry HIV/AIDS and other STDs. These men manipulate and persuade their innocent preys that the only way to cure their mortal diseases is by having sex with virgins and young children. Notoriously, some of these children are gang-raped by not only 10 but also sometimes 15 or 20 faceless men a day. This is another manifestation of godlessness that has crept into modern but destructive society.

The most important question for each and all of us is: What are we people of a so-called civilized world, going to do about this grave social tragedy today?
