Because abolition + coolfunstuff = awesomeness, each week I will bring you a Red Light Special, one cool gift, bobble or goodie you can feel good about buying, because the money you spend somehow benefits trafficking victims, people at-risk of trafficking or anti-trafficking programs. It’s guilt-FREE shopping for freedom!

This Week’s Red Light Special…..The Road of Lost Innocence by Somaly Mam

Somaly Mam is a human trafficking survivor-turned-activist who recounts the experiences of her early life and tells the story of her awakening as an activist and her harrowing and brave fight against the powerful and corrupt forces that steal the lives of these girls.  The Road of Lost Innocence is unflinching in its reality and courage to tell the truth behind trafficking.  It is a must-read for any activist.

If you know of an organization or business which you’d like to see financially rewarded for helping trafficking victims, let me know!
