"Nobody wants you back after you've worked in a brothel. The word for prostitute in Cambodian is srey kouc, -broken in a way that cannot be mended. You are forever ruined and your existence shames the family. No body wants people to know they have a prostitute in their family. The clients were horrible. To them we were meat. They would say, 'I paid a fortune, and you're not even pretty,' and smack, hit you against the wall. Some of them liked hurting us and did it for sport."
"Nowadays the girls are much younger too. This is because men in Cambodia will pay a thousand dollars to rape a virgin for a week-it's always a week, for a virgin. Sex with a virgin is supposed to give strength, to lengthen a man's life span and even lighten his skin. To make it clear they offer true, bona fide virgins, the brothels today sell children. Often they are very young girls, just five or six years old. After the week is over, the sew the girl inside-without an anesthetic- and quickly sell her again."(The Road of Lost Innocence, Somaly Mam)
God, what kind of hell are we living in? That the beauty of a women soul is ripped from her heart? That her precious body which was meant to be loved is crushed over and over again by ruthless people seething in sin
Why God? Why are we women willingly giving our bodies and our hearts to boys and not husbands when girls younger than ten are being ripped from their purity? Why is it that we who are given the blessing of virginity are throwing our pearls to the pigs when millions of girls don't even have a choice?
Don't you know you are worth so much? Your beauty is not affordable to a man!
"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." Galatians 5:1
