the road of lost innocence by Somaly Mam


This true story tells us how young Cambodian girls suffer a cruel fate,
being sold into prostitution to pay for their parents' debts

as well as the ignorance of men in believing
untrue beliefs that
having sex with a young virgin for a week
is supposed to confer strength,
rid them of AIDS, 
lengthen their lifespan
and lighten their skin.
