The Body Shop Combats Child Sex Trafficking

The Body Shop Combats Child Sex Trafficking

It is estimated that 1.8 million children are trafficked for sex in virtually every country. In the November issue of Marie Claire, Abigail Pesta traveled to Cambodia and spoke to one victim, escaped sex slave Sreypov Chan, whose mother sold her mother to a brothel at seven years old.

To save other women from Chan's nightmare and combat this epidemic, The Body Shop has partnered with ECPAT (End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography and Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes) and the Somaly Mam Foundation to raise funds and awareness. All proceeds from the sale of the Soft Hands Kind Heart Hand Cream will go to support ECPAT. All net proceeds from the sale of the Bag for Life and gift bags will go to the Somaly Mam Foundation.
