			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I may be sinking into fb/twitter lingo, but I just became a fan of <a href="http://www.somaly.org/" target="_blank">Somaly Mam</a>.</p>
<p>A member of the Phnong ethnic minority of Cambodia, Somaly grew up alone in the forests of the Mondulkiri province after the disappearence of her family, before being taken in by a man who posed as her grandfather, who then began to abuse her and in the end sell her to a local brothel. That&#8217;s how she ended up in sexual slavery at an age of sixteen, enduring torture, rape and unspeakable abuse. After years she managed to escape by marrying a Frenchman, and now leads the <em><a href="http://www.somaly.org/" target="_blank">Somaly Mam Foundation</a></em> which works against the industry of sexual labour and human trafficking. The foundation leads a rescue and rehabilitation program that has so far effectively gotten more than 5.000 girls and women out of prostitution and helped them get an education.</p>
<p>So now I have a pending friend request for her on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/group.php?sid=a06ba766572df88da22d64254ca4381a&amp;gid=45691356958&amp;ref=search" target="_blank">Facebook</a> .. she also <a href="http://twitter.com/somalimam" target="_blank">twitters</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>her dead comes up with bubble from mouth and noise seems she committed suicides or spoiled by food<br />
