Join us on an emotional rollercoaster as we unmask the horrifying reality of child trafficking in Cambodia. Our guest for this episode is Sally Allen, a courageous woman who has dedicated seven years of her life volunteering with an NGO in Cambodia, aiding children ensnared in the clutches of sex trafficking. Sally's powerful narrative takes us right into the heart of Cambodia's brick factories, where children as young as two are trafficked, often by their own families.

This episode blends the bitter truth with solutions, shining a light on the power of awareness and communication to protect our children.
