In July 2010, in support of the Child Wise and The Body Shop ‘Stop Sex Trafficking of Children and Young People’ petition launch, Srey Neth will visit Melbourne and be accompanied by Summer Twyman, a social worker and carer who has worked closely with her and will provide her with support on the trip.
Srey Neth (pronounced "Night") is a survivor of sex trafficking. At the age of 14, she was sold by her mother for $300 into the sex trade.
After being rescued, Neth began the long road to recovery and entered the Transitions Global program in 2006 (Transitions Global empowers survivors of sex trafficking with the opportunity to heal and recapture the most basic of human rights: freedom and hope).
Srey Neth excelled in computers and English - initially wanting to become a teacher. In 2008, she decided that she wanted to use her experience to create awareness about sex trafficking and help other girls that have been trafficked.
She then became the survivor spokesperson for Transitions Global.
In 2009, Srey Neth began to pursue a career in yoga and has since become a licensed yoga teacher. Neth teaches classes at a local yoga studio and teaches yoga to disadvantaged children, where she is an inspiration and an example of the survivor spirit.
Srey Neth hopes to travel and speak on behalf of Transitions Global and help in the fight to restore the lives of trafficking victims in Cambodia.
