Kidnapped at 13 years of age and sold into a Cambodian brothel where she was beaten, tortured, and raped up to 30 times per day, Sina Vann is this years winner of the Frederick Douglass Prize at the 2009 Freedom Awards.
Sina was tortured in this now-abandoned dungeon.

Sadly when Sina Vann was rescued by anti-slavery activist Somaly Mam she wasn't sure what to think; she had been rescued before but corrupt Cambodian policemen took her back to her prison-brothel.

Did you get to meet Sina?
ReplyDeleteHi Deborah,
ReplyDeleteNo I haven't had the chance to meet Sina.
She was originally from Vietnam, kidnapped and transported to Cambodia to work as a sex slave.
She now resides in the United States.
