Beware of programs associated with Somaly Mam

I have just returned from Cambodia working with AFESIP one of Somaly Mam's organizations. I want to warn people that although Somaly Mam has a compelling personal story and international profile as a champion of rights for sex trafficking survivors, her organizations are severely problematic. After 7 months in Cambodia attempting to help AFESIP build its psychology program I determined that the organization is so dysfunctional and emotionally unhealthy that my job was impossible. I met others who had attempted to work for Somaly Mam run organizations (Voices for Change and Somaly Mam Foundation - in Cambodia) who encountered similar (and worse) problems.

Please think twice about going to work or volunteer for any of these organizations. The reality does not match the public image. Feel free to contact me for more information.
