Discussion about "The Road Of Lost Innocence"
"The Road Of Lost Innocence" by Somaly Mam is a story that saddens me greatly. Her story makes me realize that sex trafficking is a huge problem that many people including myself don't think about. Everyone should have to read this book so that it can open peoples' eyes to what is going on around the world including in our own backyard. Mam has told her story in such a beautiful yet saddening way that makes me want to try harder to help fight this horrible problem. I never fully understood the pain and torture both physical and mental that these girls have to endure on a daily basis, even now I can't really understand what they have gone through. I also am now understanding how much corruption there is in the government in Cambodia and even our government here. The fact that Mam managed to fight her way through everything she has been through and come out the other side a better person makes her a warrior. Somaly Mam is a hero and by writing this book she is standing up to these problems and trying to make a difference.
