She began to sob heavily before her first spoken word. Jane (real name withheld) tells us in between breaths her life story: how she was sold at the age of 10 by her own mother, then repeatedly raped by her "owner". Jane, 21 now, is HIV+, and one of many victims of the sex trade industry in Cambodia. In Phnom Penh, I follow the founders of Raven & Lily and KeoK'jay. Both are socially-responsible brands dedicated to fighting poverty and marginalizing of women. They are creating job opportunities, confidence and a slow road to rehabilitation for Jane and others.
