The Garment Factory

One of the best ways to fight sex trafficking is to provide jobs for the girls and their parents so they can get an income to provide for their family. This is a big focus of AIM here in Cambodia. The AIM Employment Center (AEC) is an exciting project that offers rescued young women a career and a new life! In addition to giving restored young women a job, AIM Employment Center can offer young women still trapped in brothels with no opportunity for income and pressure to raise money for family or to care for children an immediate rescue. They can walk into AEC getting on the job training, childcare, healthcare, continuing academic education, counseling and be paid well above average. The minimum wage is $80 per month and they can make upwards of $200 a month here. I'm hoping to do an order of t-shirts for Bayside when I get back.
