Fanta was saved
Fanta was 12 when her mother said she had to move away from home to stay safe. Human traffickers are always searching for girls like Fanta. In some poor villages in northern Thailand there are hardly any girls over the age of 13 left. Many have been sold and forced into sexual slavery.Fanta’s family once fled from discrimination and opression in Laos. they belong to the Hmong hill tribe that face constant discrimination. Now, Fanta has to flee her own village and live far away from her family. If she stays, she is at high risk to be used and abused by traffickers. Her safe haven is a home for girls run by 2013 Prize Candidate Sompop Jantraka. Read more about Fanta’s life and the work of Sompop in the Globe Magazine.
