Human trafficking is a multi-billion dollar industry and the fastest-growing criminal enterprise in the world, with two million women and children sold into slavery every year. The Somaly Mam Foundation (SMF) is a non-profit organization committed to ending sex slavery and empowering its survivors as part of the solution.
SMF was founded in 2007 by Cambodian trafficking survivor and activist Somaly Mam and United States Air Force Academy alums Jared Greenberg and Nicholas Lumpp. The Somaly Mam Foundation exists to eradicate sex slavery, liberate its victims, and empower survivors to create and sustain lives of dignity. The organization works closely with partners in Southeast Asia, where Mam and her team have rescued women and children from abuse and exploitation for nearly 20 years. SMF supports shelter services, rescue operations, and rehabilitation programs in the region, where trafficking remains a widespread issue.
Additionally, the Somaly Mam Foundation runs awareness and advocacy campaigns that feature its survivors as living examples of change and engage the public in the fight against modern slavery.
