This June, I will leave my job as a Philadelphia area attorney, move to Cambodia, and work as an unpaid legal fellow with IJM to help fight human trafficking and sexual slavery for a year. I need your help.
Description
My name is Shahrzad Kojouri, but everyone calls me Shaz. I'm a Philly attorney who has decided to take a big leap of faith and step into the fight against Sex Trafficking.

Sex trafficking is a growing global enterprise driven by coercion and force. Traffickers transport or detain their victims for the purpose of commercial sexual exploitation. This trade in rape for profit thrives in the absence of robust law enforcement to ensure the protection of the law for vulnerable children and women. I want to be part of the solution by (1) helping to create better laws and policies in Cambodia to protect the victims, informants, and witnesses (2) help prosecute brothel owners, pimps, corrupt officials and pedophiles (3) help in the healing and restoration of the victims (4) restore HOPE that Cambodia can be restored to its former self and its people can know a better world than one riddled with sex slavery and fear.
