| Christians fight the Sex trade | | Print | |
Cambodia Action Affiliate, Milet Goddard (working for Hagar International) features in a CBN article/video about the child sex trade in Phnom Penh and how Christians are fighting it. Click here to read and see more.
Milet is Hagar's manager of Women's Programmes and she describes abuse suffered by a young victim. "In Thailand she said she didn't know she had to service ten men per day. She was 10-years-old. She ran away when she was 14-years-old. She had to service so many men just to pay her way to Cambodia. By the time we have her she was almost 18," Goddard said. Such a dreadful story is common to most trafficked victims. At Hagar, the abused women are placed under the organization's holistic program. The ministry provides not only counseling, but also equips women to earn a living outside the sex trade. Most of the girls are employed in Hagar-run enterprises such as the soya factory, crafts and garments, and a catering business and restaurant. They say that they have found a God who cares and answers prayer. |
