Description 
Time to support the fight against sexual slavery and human trafficking! The Somaly Mam Foundation and its partners have helped save over 6,000 women and girls from brothels in Southeast Asia, and we need your help to continue our battle! The Somaly Mam Foundation is a nonprofit charity committed to ending modern day slavery in North America and around the world. Founded by sexual slavery survivor Somaly Mam, the foundation works to eradicate human trafficking, liberate its victims, and empower survivors so they can create and sustain lives of dignity. The foundation supports survivor rescue, shelter and rehabilitation programs globally with a special focus on Southeast Asia, where the trafficking of women and girls, some as young as five, is a widespread practice. The Somaly Mam Foundation also runs awareness and advocacy campaigns in North American and around the world that shed light on the crime of human trafficking and focus on getting the public and governments involved in the fight to abolish modern day slavery. We started our First C4C Event at Apotheke with 60 people - Our last event in January set a new record as we turned people away from the doors of The Box as capacity exceeded 300 patrons. As momentum and awareness spreads around the Somaly Mam Foundation, the SMF Young Professionals are taking our coming event to the next level...the highest level actually...
