Welcome!

Welcome! Thank you for stopping by. This site is moderated by interns of The Sold Project. The intention of this blog is to:

• Create awareness for the epidemic of child slavery and prostitution occurring in Thailand (and throughout the world)
• Provide a forum for discussion on the factors contributing to the perpetuation of child slavery/prostitution
• Promote upcoming events hosted by SOLD Interns

By choice, 14 activists from across the United States applied for a volunteer internship with The SOLD Project. We are committed to supporting the work of The SOLD Project, educating the public on the reality of child prostitution and human slavery, and working to engage local communities in the fight against the trafficking of children into the sex industry.

It is our goal to use this blog as a means to share our passion and learning’s with you, the reader. In addition, we want to be a resource for readers to educate themselves on the issues surrounding child prostitution and slavery using the links and material provided. Most importantly, we hope to inspire readers to act and to join the abolitionist movement to end human slavery in our lifetime. Each one of us, Interns and readers alike, possess many talents, skills and interests. Combining efforts is the only way to end the tragedies of child prostitution and human slavery.

We want to hear from you! We ask that you, the reader, use this blog to engage the issues surrounding child slavery and child prostitution and begin a dialogue with us. Some posts will be difficult to read, as they will contain facts and experiences from the lives of youth rescued from forced prostitution. While some of what you will read may invoke a strong emotional response we ask that you try to maintain appropriate demeanor and language when responding to Interns' posts or to other readers.

Thank you. We look forward to sharing this journey with you.

In the work together,

SOLD Interns
